orlando, +/- thing makes absolutely no difference - don't worry about it
shadez, dyndns makes no difference to the site..
when you connect to the site from an ip, say (this is just random) 85.1.52.1 we do a lookup of that IP address (which resolves to 1-52.1-85.cust.bluewin.ch in this case). We then take that address and re-verify it by doing a lookup of 1-52.1-85.cust.bluewin.ch and resolve it back to 85.1.52.1 and get a match. At no point is are we ever aware about a dyndns hostname - they're only useful as a utility to connect to your own computer .. they're a pointer, basically. Your computer at home still resolves to your ISPs ip/domain name.
And if you had a static IP you wouldn't really need a dyndns name anyway (its name itself indicates what you have - a dynamic IP, hence why the site seems to 'forget' your votes after your IP changes)
There's nothing you can do to get around this issue. If you don't have a static IP address, eventually your votes will (appear to) disappear in a puff of logic.
