Voting buttons appeared to have stopped working for IMDb polls around 6:00 pm Central (11 pm UTC/GMT, 7:00 pm Eastern, 4:00 pm Pacific). Originally, I believed that I had caused the problem when I updated software on my laptop. However, another user posted similar problems on the IMDb Poll message board.
OT: Something's wrong with the voting... I can't vote.

I tried to vote on three different computers: one running Windows XP,
the second running Windows 7 and a Nintendo WII. I also tried four different web
browsers: Internet Explorer, Fire Fox, Google Chrome and Opera.

Fortunately, I discovered that I could still vote using the mobile version.

For instance, the latest poll is:
Run Off Poll: The Best Film Titles Part II
Web Version: http://www.imdb.com/poll/BT9-f9EtcXg/
Mobile Version: http://m.imdb.com/poll/BT9-f9EtcXg/

I also discovered that the results are not displayed properly on the web version. The results display properly on the mobile version.

Web Version: http://www.imdb.com/poll/BT9-f9EtcXg/results
Mobile Version: http://m.imdb.com/poll/BT9-f9EtcXg/results

Web Version:


The "See all results" link at the bottom of the web version also does not function properly.

When I looked at the source code for the page, the information for displaying the bars is present.
 

Mobil Version:



If other people are experiencing the same problem, please post here. Likewise, if the voting buttons in the IMDb polls are working, please post here that you are not having problems.

In either case, please indicate which device you are using, the operating system and browser.

Thank you in advance for your assistance for resolving this problem.
