Is easy. The blue dot is where you first voted (I voted Five) and then cast your revote for the option Six or more and that's it.

I just see the results on my end , no dots to vote


This is sceenshot of the poll and the blue dot where the members have voted first. Chose Six or more and that changes your preference and that is it.

I am not planning on changing but I dont see those blue dots for selection either, just the results from when I voted last.

Luis, could it be because you have moderator privileges?

Because for me, this is what it looks like. Blue dots appear only until I casted my vote and not afterwards.

Went back to the original thing and ended the revoting to not have more confusion about this. Those who have not voted yet come and vote until July 31rst at 9:12 PM EDT when the poll will close.

For some reason I am being aggressive and going with 6 even with it being so quiet so far this season.

Based from watching past seasons, I still think it's going to be active. I may not get my predicted 5, but I think we will still see our hurricane and most likely our first major. I looked back at the 2017 thread and there was talk of no majors occurring before peak season began. After watching what happened afterwards, I refuse to start talking about a quiet season until we're well past peak.

This poll has closed for voting and four was the winner. I never thought that I would see in a poll for August that 4 members voted none will form.

The four that voted none will form are on the drivers seat as time goes by and looks like nothing will form unless suddenly, all turns favorable in the next 7 days.

Looks like the end of the month is going to be a close horse race at this point. My bet is on that MCS area getting down to the surface and heading off as Danielle at this point.

I just want to know what kind of Vegas odds could I get now for betting on two before Sept 1?

And just think, earlier this summer most of us were gung ho(me included) thinking about how crazy busy it was going to be due to how quickly the tropics has heated up earlier, and then everything just completely died, so strange...... I think we will 2 or 3 storms in September though and then maybe 1 or 2 in October. ....

I personally dare myself to bet that we'll see 2 by August 31. So I guess it still counts? :lol:
