Our ZAZOU needs your vote!!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Today I've entered Zazou into a competition. When she wins, there will be a reportage about here in one of the most read magazines in Belgium, called "Dag Allemaal". I would be soooo proud:)
So, please vote on her:)

As the site is in Dutch, I will give a detailed guide of how to vote;)

This the picture I entered :

[Catty1]

Lut - I didn't get the email with the message you described...I got this:


Beste Candace,



Bedankt dat je op ZAZOU hebt gestemd! Nu moet je enkel nog hier je stem bevestigen. Wie weet schittert mijn liefste huisdier dankzij jou binnenkort in een Whiskas reportage in Dag Allemaal of op één van de Whiskas kerstkaarten en e-cards.


Nog eens bedankt en tot binnenkort!

Vriendelijke groeten,

Whiskas

[kittycats_delight]

We are just waiting on our email to arrive.

Michelle & the brats


ETA: Email arrived and confirmed.

[kittycats_delight]

Lut - I didn't get the email with the message you described...I got this:

Candace I got the exact same thing. When the logo and all the pics are loaded underneath the kitten face with the Whiskas Logo is a purple bar that you have to click to confirm. I didn't notice it first but once everything had loaded I seen it. :)

[Catty1]

OK, I went back to the site by clicking on the link in my email, and got this:


Stem op jouw favoriete kat.
Oeps er is iets misgelopen!

Sorry. Je kan maar 1 stem uitbrengen.

Het Whiskas Team.


So - it has recorded my vote, and is not letting me vote twice?

"Oeps" and "Sorry" seem to indicate that! :D

[jenluckenbach]

I did it, but am usure whether it woked or not. :( Hopefully it did.

[phesina]

I did it but still haven't gotten my confirmation e-mail.

This mail says: "Thank you for voting for Zazou!! Now you only have to confirm your vote" It is like MIchelle's said: there also comes a purple bar in that message; that is where you have to click on to confirm your vote :)
I'm sure that you did it right, because nobody is allowed tp vote twice; that is why you got the "oops" and "sorry" message:D

He he, now you all know a bit of Dutch :)
Thanks for the votes!!

But..... Zazou needs much more votes.... so if you haven't voted yet, please do:)

PS. I'm sorry Groucho, you cannot vote as weel, unless of course you have your own e-mail address

[Sonia59]

[Pawsitive Thinking]

[momcat]

Zazou's fans here in Trenton cannot bear the anticipation any longer, is there any news on how Zazou's votes are going?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Lut, I just clicked on the link but it's not working right now so I can't vote.:(

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Lut, I just clicked on the link but it's not working right now so I can't vote.:(

I tried it, and it is still working:) . PLease try again :D

Zazou has gotten 18 votes so far; not enough though to win....... . So, please, keep voting

[krazyaboutkatz]

I voted but I'm still waiting to receive my e-mail confirmation. How long should this take?

[Karen]

I voted but I'm still waiting to receive my e-mail confirmation. How long should this take?

It happened in about a minute for me ...

I voted! Thanks for the instructions, Lut!

Now, Zazou, if you win, do you promise never to "go wandering" again?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Well, I never received an e-mail confirmation so I guess my vote doesn't count.:( I don't have time to revote right now so I'll have to try again tonight.

[phesina]

To those who aren't receiving your e-mail confirmations: see if your mail program might possibly be putting it in its Spam folder.

The first time I tried to vote, I didn't get the confirmation message (or didn't think I had). A few days later I looked in the Spam folder to see what had accumulated, and there it was! I labeled it "Not spam" to get it out of that folder, and then I sent in the confirmation. So I guess that vote finally counted.

Then a couple of days ago I tried again with my other screen name for my AOL account; went through the process, voted, and waited for the confirmation message, which again I didn't see. I looked in the Spam folder, and sure enough, there it was! I un-spammed it and sent it in, so that's two votes from me for Zazou!

I don't know the criteria on which AOL decides incoming mail is spam. I check the folder from time to time, and usually it's full of ads for V!AGRA or hot stock tips or other such rot. But now and then there's something I actually want to see, so I mark it "Not spam" and then I guess AOL takes it off the list it has for me.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I already did check out my screened mail area which is where spam mail is stored and there's nothing there. I just tried to vote again and I got this response: Sorry. Je kan maar 1 stem uitbrengen. Hopefully this means "Sorry, but you've already voted."

I guess I can also try it by using a different e-mail address.

I just tried it with another e-mail address and I did get the e-mail verification notice but I didn't see where I should click. There were a few words highlighted so I clicked on them and it took me to the website. The e-mail verification said:

Beste Tracey,



Bedankt dat je op ZAZOU hebt gestemd! Nu moet je enkel nog hier je stem bevestigen. Wie weet schittert mijn liefste huisdier dankzij jou binnenkort in een Whiskas reportage in Dag Allemaal of op één van de Whiskas kerstkaarten en e-cards.

I don't see where it says "Ik bevestig mijn deelname" to click on.

[Whisk_Luva]

I voted :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Sorry. Je kan maar 1 stem uitbrengen. Hopefully this means "Sorry, but you've already voted."

it means "you have already voted"



I don't see where it says "Ik bevestig mijn deelname" to click on.


When the logo and all the pics are loaded underneath the kitten face with the Whiskas Logo is a purple bar that you have to click to confirm.


Thanks for voting everybody!!
