I am now having the same problem, and it is both disappointing and frustrating. The plugin was terrific, and was working just fine for months, at
bergennow.com but not anymore. In terms of usage, we have one section with ratings of local politicians that had hundreds and hundreds of votes cast. Then, the plugin just stopped working! The template was not changed, and it is a template for Joomla 1.5. We running Joomla 1.5.14. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin, to no avail. As I said, it was working just fine one moment, and then just not responding at all. We would like to continue to use this plugin - we think it's great - so if anyone can help, it would be very much appreciated!
