Don't email any votes. This option will not work with the automated scripts, and Hans should take this part down ASAP. I will create some automated scripts shortly.

I have now added automated scripts for voting to this directory, and I have created the directories for storing ballots. The scripts are named poll1-A.php, poll1-B.php, poll1-C.php, and poll1-D.php. I will leave it up to Hans to add links to this page and to file these pages into the database. He may also add extra text to these pages if he wishes. I will add code for blacklisting voters later. It doesn't need to be done right away, since it will work retroactively.

Email voting now is abolished. Please vote using the automated scripts. Fergus: thanks a lot for these script pages!

It may be helpful on each of the automated voting pages to have 'See Also:' links only to the games in that particular group.

When attempting to use one of the voting pages, I get a screenfull of the
following:

Warning: main(/home/chessvar/public_html/cgi-bin/rankedpoll/runpoll.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/home/chessva/public_html/contests/10/poll1-A.php on line 26

Perhaps this should be fixed.

Okay, that's now fixed. In moving to a new server, path names got changed and needed updating in scripts.
