festivalul Airfield nu va avea loc in 2018, deci nu prea are cum sa fie o optiune in acest poll

Mai multe detalii puteti afla pe https://makenoise.ro sau din aplicatia NOISE Festival disponibila in AppStore sau Google Play Store.
Tot nu merge să votez și nu mi se pare corect față de evenimentele supuse pentru a fi votate, deoarece își pierd din voturi pe care le merită pentru eforturile depuse 🙂
Mulțumim pentru atenționare, ai dreptate. 🙂 Dacă problema persistă, ne-ar ajuta un screenshot.
Salut! Din păcate nu pot vota și nici alți colegi nu reușesc și ne apare tuturor un mesaj că am votat deja “You have already voted for this poll. Poll ID #13”
Salut, Corina. Am curățat cache-ul site-ului și acum ar trebui să funcționeze ok. Dacă tot persistă problema, încearcă să ștergi cache-ul calculatorului tău.
Mulțumim pentru atenționare. 🙂
La mine din pacate tot nu merge. Nici pe Chrome, nici pe Opera, nici pe telefon nici după ștergerea catch-ului.
Medifun ar putea intra în poll? E festivalul organizat de Liga Studenților din Târgu-Mureș ajuns la a 17-a ediție. http://www.medifun.ro
