Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

It might be a good idea to place links to the items to be voted on here.
(I would do it now, but I am just popping in for a moment from work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif )

Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

I voted twice with different vote on purpose. No complaint and both said "your vote has been accepted".

Is there a mechanism to reject a double vote from a same member?

Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

I tried to vote. Didn't get any message, but the
one I selected is now de-selected.

Did my vote get counted?

Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

Hi Greg,

The text of (or near) the "Submit Vote" button should have changed to state that you have already voted in this poll.

Unfortunately, I also voted in this poll from my computer at home. But now that I am at work, it looks as though I could vote again.

I read something about this issue with UBB.threads somewhere recently. It has to do with the polls being configured such that unregistered users may vote. If it is configured that way, then the double-voting security is done by tracking IP addresses. The problem is that some ISP's use proxys (AOL is apparently the worst) and that it is possible that a single user may have a new IP reported with each page reload.

Apparently, the solution to this is to set up the poll/polls such that only registered users can vote. Then the multi-vote security is handled by username and thus prevents the same user from voting more than once. Unless that user has multiple accounts here, but that would be really shady and is probably addressed already anyway.

Now it says "You have voted in this poll" on the
button.

Thanks - Greg

Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

Suggest to put a link next to the topic, so the later comer will have a better idea then to cast a What that vote.

Just my 2 cents suggestion and thank for hosting this. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Re: H & M Contest Class 1 VOTE

Bernard,

I set it up so the results wouldn't be viewable until after the "election." Seemed like the thing to do?

All, Please read my last post in the Contest thread, I've got a problem! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mecry.gif

You cannot view poll results until the poll is over.
