Two slots for best radio shows and no TV show slot?

Anyone else getting an error message when you submit answers?

Hey Chris
What does the error message say?

Are you guys not including Best Public Access TV Show this year? If not, that’s a shame because we’ve got some really good ones right now.
July 9th, 2009 at 11:13 am
I’m getting the error too. Says something about “entry too long for line” something something…
Got it twice – and it erases your entries EVERY TIME. Annoying.

Hey Chris and KJ. Thanks for the heads up — and sorry for the MAJOR annoyance. We’re working on fixing that glitch ASAP.
Jeff: We’re definitely interested in Best Public Access TV Show as a Critics’ Pick. (We discussed that very topic at a meeting a few weeks back.) And yes, it should probably have been a Readers’ Pick, too. Maybe it’s not too late. I’ll check.

Getting an error message upon submission. What gives?
July 9th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Hey guys. Apparently, the glitch is fixed. PLEASE LEAVE US A COMMENT RIGHT HERE if you continue to run into the dreaded error message.
Also, you can vote through Facebook, too — and can even share your votes with your friends if you’d like to a) attempt to influence them and b) show off your superior knowledge of Atlanta’s bands, artists, restaurants, etc.

Don’t understand how the save and come back later works? I filled in a couple and submitted… haven’t gotten an email with info…
July 10th, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Hi Tessa
We did have an issue with a short lag between when you submit your vote and then receive the email with your confirmation code, but eventually it comes through. Let us know if it doesn’t.

I got an email from Serson / The Subliminator to vote for him. Well the only poll I saw was something from CL I’d never heard of. Seeing Serson play his digital theramins was marvelously cool. There are few acts that I have seen with a coolness factor like watching a guy play infrared sensors. Talk about your ultimate “air instrument” :0)
