I can't answer that. However, one seems to have an ID of 6110 and the other 138. The link on the front page appears to be for 138.

Actually the link on the front page is broken - goes to an error page. However, I found I can vote by going to http://topwebcomics.com/vote/138/default.aspx or http://topwebcomics.com/vote/6110/default.aspx

When I looked
- "TWO KINDS" (6110) was at 37 (was 46 before adding my vote)
- "Twokinds (138) was at 84

Is there a chance people can get confused and vote for the wrong one? TwoKinds has been relatively low in the rankings lately.

Also, I'm guessing that ID no. 138 is the real one, for several reasons including the updated banner. I can't say I really like the new banner. It doesn't look enough like Flora, has her in a position that I can only describe as lewd, and overall feels like a step back from the previous version. Sorry, but I have to say I liked the previous one better, even as outdated as it was.

Yea, I have to say your right.

I hope Tom changes it.

TWC is on the fritz. So it's not going to look right till it's fixed.

The reason there are 2 is because some idiot added Twokinds to the TWC themselves even though Tom already had it on there.

The new banner looks a hundred time's better than the previous one even if it is a bit more - "sexy" - and it doesn't look better BECAUSE it looks sexy but because it shows a higher quality art and design compared to the last one. It's also a good reminder that the comic isn't for 10 year olds.

All that does not explain why the voting link on the front page is not working as it should. Even if TWC is the cause it is fixable as http://www.earthsongsaga.com/ has a working vote.

Two Kinds...
http://www.topwebcomics.com/votingGatew ... mberID=138
Does not work

Earth Song...
http://www.topwebcomics.com/vote/1219/default.aspx
Does work

I'm not fond of the banner either. I think lewd is the right word, not sexy.

(and I'm surprised this thread's not been moved to the Ranting board yet)

Lewd, you say?
*Checks*

Wow...where's the original art for that?!?
Just...curious...
<<

On-topic - yeah, the link is borked...but the links that Cloud posted earlier work just fine...
Can something be done about there being two listings? It's splitting the vote, which is not good...it's so strange to see TwoKinds out of the top 10...
O.o

TWC's changed the format for its page addresses.

Instead of the old one,

Tom, you need to update the link on your page. Or everyone can vote with my sig! :D

If the new banner is to show off how Tom has improved since the start, wouldn't he be better off having a banner in the same style of drawing as the comics he releases now. That picture of Flora... doesn't even look much like her. Someone who's attracted by the banner would be attracted for all the wrong reasons, and would be very disappointed when he gets to the real comic. It has been said more or less by other people that TwoKinds isn't just about sex, so why does Tom have to make such a move to attract more readers? The old banner might have been bad by your standards, but it was that same banner that attracted some of us, including me, here. So, sorry Sage. I see your point, but I have to humbly disagree.

That said, a voting reward would be nice. Just a pic from his DA account, or something?

Hm, perhaps some Kieth and/or Natani fanservice? Or, fanservice specifically for the KiethxNat shippers? Or heck, that one pic of Trace, as the Keidran? Just some random thoughts.
