    1st off: Thanks for putting out a great plugin. It is so helpful I just had to go premium…!

    Issue at hand: When a user votes on several images at the same time (using stars) and then tries to go to the next page a ‘Bad Request’ screen (see below) is coming up and completely locking the site down to that browser (testing in FireFox).

    Cleared the browser cache, but that didn’t work.

    At the moment there aren’t (are not) any caching plugins or code active, as I’m developing on a local environment…

    In reference to an earlier post, I thought it might be an ajax issue (still may be), so I went looking for the “<!– this is a comment –>” marker mentioned, but I couldn’t find it (!!). Did I delete it in a fury of indelicate hacking (??) – it happens – , but then I re-downloaded both the free and premium files to search for the marker and can’t find it anywhere in those, so I don’t have a clue… (as if you couldn’t tell).

    Any help will be greatly appreciate (big, HUGE) :~)

    P.S. The error page mentions Cookies. The ‘use cookies’ box isn’t (is not) ticked…

    It doesn’t crash the site, the site just rejects requests from browsers with too many cookies. If you open a different browser or use a different computer, you will see the site is still running fine.

    All browsers send all the cookies in the header of every request.
    All hosting have a certain limit to how big those headers can be.
    Those 2 things I have no control over.

    I’m not trying to be defensive or argumentative, I just don’t see a more viable solution than upgrading your hosting.

    I would concede that maybe the cookies shouldn’t be saved unless you implicitly set that option, but there is a reason for that functionality. If you decide to change to ‘cookie’ only checking at any point, users that have voted already won’t be able to vote again.

    I welcome suggestions.

    PS, I do take pride in the amount of support I offer even my free plugins. So if you feel this is a big enough issue and that you would like a refund, I completely understand. Please email me your PayPal details to shaunalberts AT gmail DOT com and I will refund you.
