Ummm... all I see in the thumbnail view is polar bears in a blizzard and clicking on the image boxes does nothing.  Clicking on the 'Full page view' link at the top right produces a new page that is a single image of a black bear in a cave at midnight with no moon, clicking either page right or left updates the description, but has the same bear's home.

Windows 10, I.E.-11

Tried it in Windows 10, Edge and no image boxes show up and none of the links do anything at all.  Right clicking on a link (or anywhere) produces a context menu that allows me to "save image as"... but it only saves the whole page image.  If I wait long enough, several minutes, then clicking on a link produces a context menu that has "open in new tab" available but clicking it does nothing at all.

 

But back in IE-11, if I click on "See Results" I can tell that several people have managed to vote.

     They all kind of look the same to me.

Just tried it again (Winders 10 I.E.-11)... I can see all the thumbnails except for the ones by:

Jay Bridges

Jeff Evans

Sam Foster

Alex Mayes

Robert Walters

Clicking the "Full page view" link gets me a new page with black bears in a cave at midnight on a moonless night... all the same except the captions.

...........

Refreshing the voting thumbnail page gets a few more, all except Jay Bridges.  Multiple refreshes after that does not change things.

Now I can see all the thumbnail images in the voting page, in Windows 10, Edge, and if I click on any image I can view the full size images if I wait long enough (a minute or two to load all the images).

I still cannot see the thumbnail of Jay Bridges photo and cannot wait long enough to see any of the full sized images when I click on any of them when using I.E.11.

I voted for Robert Jordan's - it really 'stopped the action' of a hard-working crew.  There were several others almost as good.  

Interesting how many of the photos were of MOW operations.
