    You have to save the filled in form with the print option and save to pdf. Not the save as option. Then it saves it and you can attach it with email. Think this got a lot of people confused with the semi-final ticket online pdf application.

    You can print it out, scan it and send it as a jpg, or you can screen grab and send that too, the point is, it shouldn't be this difficult for people to vote. How many people will know that they'll have to save the pdf using the print option, rather than just saving it, it's bloody ridiculous.

    I do agree that a lot of people won't know how to do it. Maybe the club should have sent out that helpful little bit of information with their email.

    You don't give substance to smoke and mirrors tactics.

    Unfortunately I have no faith in the club's ability to even print out every completed ballot they receive.

    I've printed mine out and will be filling in by hand and delivering by hand into a ballot box.

    I know this might not be an option for some but I suppose you can always post the ballot paper as well ?

    Wish I lived in or near Hull to have the option to take the ballot paper to the KC. Not being particularly computer literate wouldn't it have been possible to have a link on the bottom of the paper to direct it to the ballot?
    Just spent over 30 mins attempting to resolve not being able to save the completed form to then add as an attachment. Printed and scanned the paper to find out that my wirelss printer wanted a usb connection to enable it to be saved to my computer.Ready to send it via hotmail to find the attachment was the incompleted form. Tried using Aol with copy to my hotmail account and found my copy is the completed version so I hope its the same to a club?

    Just Save, Print, Download, open PDF, etc - send as many as you can to the nitwits at the Club?


    [EDIT: Maybe then they'll get the message - they've made a right royal fickery of the ballot and its form]

    Printed the sod out and filled in by hand.

    In blood.

    NO TO HULL TIGERS.

    Scanned it back in.

    Emailed it over.

    Felt light headed.

    Passed out.

    Do you think AAs been told " if you make them have to print the ballot paper out half of them in E1&2 might not bother? " nothing would surprise me.

    This is an excellent and very well written article and one with which I completely agree. Well done that man, very well done indeed.

    I'll fill forms in and take them in for anyone struggling with the electronic way.

    Obviously, you'd have to trust me with your details and choice of vote though.

    Now I understand my IT but what the frig are people meaning by 'print to pdf'? I can't work this out at all. I sent mine off via e-mail last night and it worked fine, but I didn't have to do anything unusual with the file.

    Quite a lot of the 'Silent Majority' are actually coming out and stating that they would have voted for Allam to stay had the ballot not been so ridiculously loaded, and they will now vote NO.

    I don't believe in women with beards, I think they are just overly effeminate men.
