If you want to record the votes over any time period, just keep track at the beginning and the end.  The difference is the number you want to see.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On your [url=http://www.dailyawards.com/myimages.aspx][size="2"]"Image Statistics"[/size][/url] page, you can sort the list by "Last Vote".    Since everyone only has a few images in the contest at one time :) , it would be easy to count the votes on each image over any time period you want to check and add up the votes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In general, the site-wide vote ratio vacillates around 1.50.   So, you can get a not-so-rough estimate by taking the number of your images in the contest x days x 1.5.  That will be the number of votes you've received within +/- 10%.</description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:35:08 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>hahn23</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Personal Voting Accountability</title><link>http://dailyawards.com/DAForum/Topic28265-20-1.aspx</link><description>LOL..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I log in like 30 times a day,,,I have no clue how many votes I have received by each day's end...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;not something I would keep track of...:hehe:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;how bout a 30 days worth of history for how many votes were obtained each of those last 30 days...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;sometimes there are many votes , sometimes not so many...maybe I want to put in three days worth of votes every third day...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;right? &lt;br&gt;:D...:w00t::D</description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:16:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Tonka</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Personal Voting Accountability</title><link>http://dailyawards.com/DAForum/Topic28265-20-1.aspx</link><description>[quote][b]Tonka (7/9/2008)[/b][hr]Can we have a number on one of our pages telling us how many votes we have received for the day..? or maybe it can be tallied for the previous day so that we can always know how many to give back if we can't vote every single day?...or even if we can, it would be good to know how many we receive ...just an idea..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;or is this available already and I hadn't noticed it?...I know the system tracks how many votes we have received overall....just thought it would be nice to have a daily count..[/quote]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am surprised that you haven't ever noticed that Cherie.....:P</description><pubDate>Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:20:05 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>bhasmang</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Personal Voting Accountability</title><link>http://dailyawards.com/DAForum/Topic28265-20-1.aspx</link><description>Every time you log in to Dailyawards.com the top line tells you how many votes you have received since last login.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron</description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:18:09 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Rocket</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Personal Voting Accountability</title><link>http://dailyawards.com/DAForum/Topic28265-20-1.aspx</link><description>Can we have a number on one of our pages telling us how many votes we have received for the day..? or maybe it can be tallied for the previous day so that we can always know how many to give back if we can't vote every single day?...or even if we can, it would be good to know how many we receive ...just an idea..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;or is this available already and I hadn't noticed it?...I know the system tracks how many votes we have received overall....just thought it would be nice to have a daily count..</description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:48:23 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Tonka</dc:creator></item><item><title>Personal Voting Accountability</title><link>http://dailyawards.com/DAForum/Topic28265-20-1.aspx</link><description>Within the past few months, some positive changes have been initiated with the intention of improving voting rates at Daily Awards.  Still, everyone needs to take &lt;STRONG&gt;personal responsibility&lt;/STRONG&gt; to insure that they are replacing the votes that they receive from the site.&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Everyone has his or her own individual voting ratio listed on their account page. Get into the habit of making sure you maintain a positive ratio here.  A positive ratio, one where a voter returns at least as many votes as they receive, is generally expected.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Summer and its associated activities can always lead to a downturn in voting.   Still, I was surprised today when I checked the voting ratios of the Top 100 Members by Weight and discovered that &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;40%&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; were &lt;STRONG&gt;not&lt;/STRONG&gt; meeting their voting obligation by replacing the votes that they had received.  31% were replacing less than 85% of the votes they have been receiving.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The TOP 100 list includes many of the most active participants on the site.  This group should be setting an example with their voting habits and not be pulling excess votes from the site.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The overall voting ratio for this 100-member group was a positive 1.279 to 1.  That’s returning almost 28 extra votes for every 100 votes received. &lt;EM&gt;(Do not confuse your personal voting ratio with the listed site-voting ratio – Your personal voting ratio is based on your total votes cast vs. your total votes received.   The site-voting ratio is based on the number of votes per active image on the site over the previous 24-hour period.)&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Still, if the 40% from this group that are in voting deficit (those taking more votes out than they are returning) would just be at a 1:1 vote ratio, this TOP 100 groups overall performance would increase to 1.698:1  (a 33% improvement).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;EVERYONE should take a moment and evaluate their personal voting performance.  Are you returning the votes you are receiving?   If yes, THEN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.   If not, ask yourself what you can do to insure that you return to the site your fair share of the voting responsibility.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Meeting your voting requirement does not necessarily mean you have to simply vote more.  Ratio’s can also be improved by more actively managing your contest entries.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Always REMEMBER, every single vote that someone cast is a vote another member receives.  If you are receiving 150 votes per day, you will need to return those 150 votes in order to maintain a positive voting ratio and meet your voting responsibilities.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you have questions about maintaining a &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;U&gt;POSITIVE VOTING RATIO&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; please ask.
