Oh and good luck with the voting, hope you get the design you're after :)
You probably used your back button after voting. That takes you back to the page before you voted - so it will appear that your vote hasn't registered. If you refresh the page, it should be there. Same with flowers you give to people!
Hi Cooperal, I havent seen this happen with the voting before. Maybe just a blip on the site at that time? So sorry I cant help. But I wanted to Welcome you to Cute. Enjoy :)
