#MJFam: Helpful Tips for Voting for Michael’s Vanity Fair Cover
First and foremost, we did it, #MJFam. We got Michael into FIRST place by getting him nearly 30,000 votes in just ONE week.
Unfortunately, this accomplishment has come at a price. Since Michael took over the first place spot for most favorite Vanity Fair Cover of All Time, fans have begun experiencing troubles with voting.
We cannot focus our energy on the whys and who’s. We must be diligent in promoting this event by encouraging any fan still able to vote…to vote.
Here are some tips for those experiencing problems voting.
Internet Explorer Users:
- Delete Cookies
- Clear Browser History
- Close Our Browser
- Restart Browser
- Click here to go to VF’s site to vote for Michael: http://www.vanityfair.com/100-years-of-vanity-fair/covers
- Select “All” then select “Sort By Votes”
- Click on Michael’s Vanity Fair Cover
- Click Vote and then WAIT at least 60 seconds. The ‘Thank you for voting” is delayed. It is possible VF’s servers are having trouble with keeping up with the amount of traffic to their servers which is causing a delay for the votes to go thru. SO, even if you think your vote didn’t click, give it at least a minute and see if the Thank You message pops up. Fans have been receiving these thank you messages at a delay.
IMPORTANT: You can no longer vote every 5-10 minutes via Internet Explorer. VF has caught the glitch that allowed multiple votes and has since then fixed the glitch and when you attempt to vote more than once, you will receive an updated message that states you can only vote for ONE cover, ONCE a day.
This means, if it has NOT been 24 hours since you last voted, you will not be able to vote. Best way to make sure you’re hitting past the 24 hours before you vote again is to keep track of the time you vote or to vote at a designated time each day.
Also be advised, that it is possible that if you are among those who voted every 5-10 minutes, VF has probably placed your IP address on a time out. Just keep trying the process above, but don’t panic. Your fellow MJ fans have kept Michael’s lead strong and steady…WE GOT YOU!
For Chrome Users:
There is a delay between the time you hit the ‘vote’ button and when the ‘thank you’ message appears. Please allow at least 60 seconds to pass after you hit ‘vote’ for the thank you message to appear before closing out your tab.
For all other devices and browsers, general voting instructions:
- Go here: http://www.vanityfair.com/100-years-of-vanity-fair/covers?mbid=social_retweet
- Select “All” and “Sort by votes”
- Click on Michael’s cover
- Click “Vote”
- Wait at least 60 seconds for “Thank You” message to appear.
You can vote for Michael’s cover ONCE a day. Make sure it has been at least 24 hours since you last voted!
Shamone #MJFam, let’s keep Michael in first place!
