I voted but it doesn't show any kind of confirmation that was vote was
received. Is that normal?

I voted a few days ago. No when I follow the TinyURL link for voting,
it shows who I voted for, and tells me that I have until the 14th to
change it if i want to.

Hi Scot,
Click on the HOF link again. If your original vote was recorded, it
will show a "dot" in the circle next to the person for whom you
originally cast your vote. It also states that you may change your
vote if you wish to do so, anytime prior to August 14th.

But it says that this is who you are voting for, not that the vote has been
cast.

Since the screen says, "This is who you cast your vote for, etc." I
would assume that your vote was recorded.

---Babe---Please---This is getting a little nit-picky, but it says that even
BEFORE you press the "Vote" button. So are we guessing/assuming here?

Scot, I think you're going to have to just let this go on faith. The
administrator has run several of these votes in the past. Once you found
out from several of us that you got the same type of message we did ---
and you know there have been successful votes --- then it's time to
guess/assume/surmise that that's just the way it is.

If you haven't voted, there is a line below the list of nominees
that says:
"You can change your vote until the moderator closes this poll"
As soon as you vote (and your vote is recorded), the line is
replaced with this line:
"Your vote is shown above. You can change your vote until
the poll is closed"

Here's info on the nominees:
It been fascinating to watch the HOF membership grow each year. The
diversity in what each inductee has brought to the game and its
players is a little awesome.
I thought the HOF idea was a little cheesey when originally introduced
by vpFae. Clearly he possessed the greater perspective on what it
would represent.
This is the 4th annual round of voting and the picking gets tougher
each year. But the nominees this year are no slouches even when
measured up against the "greats" who have been inducted thus far.
------
Without exception all the nominees bear recognitition, and hopefully
regard their inclusion in this slate as such. In mulling the choice,
my own personal experience leads me to favor Skip Hughes with my vote.
When I was stumbling around in 1999, with little idea of how to
distinguish one machine from another, I happened upon Skip's
subscription vp group. Talk about an eye opener! I'll credit my
first couple of years membership there as having laid open 80% of the
knowledge I contribute here.
While relatively modest in membership at that time, the SH Group
attracted one of the most dynamic, intelligent, and good-humored
membership of any internet group in which I've ever participated. And
my head was a sponge as some of LV's most experienced veterans let go
with what often was a free-for-all of gathered intelligence and
experiences. I was in heaven -- although the frequent bouts of belly
laughs during my browsing sessions alarmed my wife ... until she got
used to it 
What I credit Skip with is being the spark for a gathering that
inspired some of the best vp dialogue to be found and that served to
educate many -- and the quality of what rose from that spark was
exceptional.
Skip, of course, has left a long list of columns and articles in his
wake. But what strikes me most about him is that he ranks among the
most common-sensed players I know and is anxious to give the next guy
a hand in an appealing unpretentious, self-effacing manner.
FWIW 
Thanks for letting me voice an appreciation that's gone
unsaid for too long ...

I ditto all that Harry said. Skip was the pioneer in VP Web sites and forums.

Well said, Harry. If I hadn't already voted for Skip, your post
would have convinced me!
