Same thing happened to me.

deman

Happened to me too but I messed around with it until I found the "at" @ symbol.

Madge

Yeah, I had to copy and paste the @ symbol.
How can you cheat it? Sure you can vote once every day anyway

Gillie

Roscommon is number 1?!?
WTF?

Madge

Well I suppose it is the biggest county in Ireland therefore more people are voting for it

Madge, are you losing your senses woman? Roscommon the biggest county?





Try Cork.

Madge

Oops, I said that by mistake! Geography was never really my strong point anyway

This monopoly promotion is a purely business money making marketing ploy, by 'hasbro' a powerful worldwide business and as such it should be removed from Boards.ie forthwith :mad: .

If you participate in this underhand 'sham' then you are promoting 'Monopoly' a game designed and marketed for profit, let them pay to advertise.

P.:cool:

They are not advertising here. Madge simply give a link to their site for anyone who wished to vote to have their county included on the monopoly board.

If Hasbro had posted here they would be gone quicker than the first vodka I had last night

I keep getting "EMail address is invalid" response too, despite using the @ symbol (got by Shift+2), and by copy+paste.

Donegal is ranked 6th at the moment.

Hah! Hasbro are hardly one of the worlds most powerful multinational corporations TBH... yeah, sure, its a clever advertising tactic...

if you use the 2 button instead of the ' button while pressing shift @ comes up, did ye not notice " instead of "@"?

b0bsquish

i've never had that @ vs. " problem before

slogue

The email address problem is caused because the site designers assume that we all use an American keyboard!!!

Use the Shift + 2 key

What would you be wanting to do a daft thing like that for. You left and everything is happening! Leitrim is taking off. The population of leitrim has gone up. That population has been starting to increase since 2002. Theres the beg of a reversal of migration trends that effected Leitrim for decades. But still density wise a nice place to live. Renewed interest might be reflected on votes on the board. Heres some of the demographic info on leitrim.(form Leitrin Co Co)

The following is a summary of some key findings and emerging trends.
• Between 1996 and 2002, Leitrim recorded the first population increase since 1841, one of the lowest in the country for that period and substantially lower than the State average.
• According to the 2006 census, the population of Leitrim increased by 11.8% between 2002 and 2006, one of the biggest increases the country for that period and at 28,837 the population of Leitrim is now the highest it has been since 1966.
• Leitrim has the smallest population in the State with an average population density figure that is three and a half times lower than the average for the State.
• Leitrim is the most rurally based population in the State by a significant margin and there are more males than females living in Leitrim.

As a quick aside Leitrim County Council are currently calling for people living and interested in the area to get involved re consultations to shape their new development plan for Leitrim. Probably useful for all those interested to get involved, God knows what hey might be getting up to otherwise.

Now with a thriving ecotourism sector and organic farming its nice to see leitrim on the up. Now only thing left is to get on the Monopoly board.:)
