How do I know If I've voted right, because for some odd reason I think I'm doing it wrong

if you are talking about the Dokua awards, the voting hasnt begun yet. Right now we are still in nominations. On the main page there is a link above the forum threads that says "Nominations Open!" click that, then click the category you wish to nominate in a popup window will open. Just fill out the information it asks for and click the submit button. It will say "pending" or something like that until Skye reviews it to confirm your selection is ellegable. If there is something specific you are question let me know and I'll try and answer more thoroughly for what it is that you are having trouble with.

O.O No wonder it didn't work! Silly me
