Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

why does the current poll only add up to 97% ?

I was looking at the current poll just now , and the numbers don't add up to 100.

I think it's because the bottom one that says "other" should have 3%, rather than 0%

I went and looked at the previous polls, and saw that none of them add up to 100, so I guess nothing is out of the ordinary. It's probably just the way the polls on this site are, but now I'm sort of curious why

We're doing the rounding wrong. I'll get that fixed. The totals should have read something like 21%, 58%, 7%, 14%, 1%, but instead of rounding up properly, it just truncated everything to the nearest integer: 21%, 57%, 6%, 13%, 0%.

Curse you, Python 2.5, and files which don't have "from __future__ import division" at the top!
