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.
