Voting closed!

I was browsing the (hard to use and full of irritating links to Facebook that I can't access!) website and I by accident clicked 'voting', where is says 'Voting is currently closed'.

http://www.channel5.com/bigbrother

Anyone know why?

I suspect it is just Facebook voting.

Facebook voting is closed forever. You need to vote by phone.

I've no intention to vote myself, i'm just confused. Why does it say 'closed' surely the vote is open? The phone numbers aren't listed?

As some posters have said, there is no more Facebook voting.

They have experienced technical difficulties & stated that it is down for the rest of the show on a few occasions.

I believe you can get a refund for votes unused? I don't know how as I don't vote & don't use Facebook.

Do a search and you will see this comes up quite often.

Basically

1. The site is badly worded

2. The phone numbers are there (but as you are not voting I won't bother to point out where )

The phone numbers are listed on the C5 site and are given out at the end of each HL show and a couple of times during BOTS

Ah I see, thanks everyone. Makes more sense now - bad designing by Channel 5!

Nah, it's borked. They can't even update their website properly.
This is what appears when you click on "Voting" in the navbar at the top
http://bigbrotheruk-s2.channel5.com/c5/voting/

Voting is currently closed

Whereabouts on the homepage is the link to http://www.channel5.com/shows/big-brother/articles/vote ?

Unless you know the correct link, you'll never find the voting numbers. They've had a week to remove that totally misleading message, which would take someone ten minutes to do. Obviously they're as lazy as Scott when it comes to basic housekeeping.

They are listed somewhere. The day I found them I stuck them on my wall so I wouldn't have to hunt again.
