Poll weirdness.

[Crumb]

In view results for this poll (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=37) there is something really odd going on.

The smilie :pimpin: has two votes but only one name, the smilie below it, :thrusts: has one vote but two names. My name appears for the second, but I voted for :pimpin:. Why was my vote counted for one, but my name applied to the other? Is there some admin tinkering with the results behind my back? :whup: Or is there some bug here? :scratch:

Also there are only 9 names by the one that supposedly has 11 votes, and the vote count in the Admin Control Panel is different still. I see from comments in that thread that liv edited that poll to remove some smilies? That might be at the root of the problem.

I forgot about the edits, that could very well be it. Although the entries she edited out had no votes for them.

Okay, now that I've had a chance to look at it more carefully the poll was definitely screwed up by the editing. The raw numbers in the database do not correlate with what you're seeing in the poll. Unfortunately I'm not inclined to spend an hour manually fixing it, so you might want to close the poll and call it what it is now or start it over again.

We at the angrynana campaign think this should go directly to the Supreme Court.
