Hey guys,

for some reason the poll question keeps on showing up although i already voted. Shouldn't it always just show the results after you voted once?

My guess?
Dynamic IP, the poll system probably checks if that IP has already voted and then either gives you the possibility to vote if you didn't or show the results if you did.
But since your IP changed (if it's dynamic) you are using a new IP and the test fails even though you already voted.
(You are talking about the poll where you don't need to be registered to vote in right? the one with this question:
What do you think of the new manga list feature?)
That or maybe a cookies problem. But if it's about the poll threads... That certainly is weird.

Its only the what do you think of the new manga list feature. But i am not switching IPs, or at least i don'T think i have been.

It's not you that switch IPs it's your ISP. They changed for you... for me I do have a dynamic IP that change like 3 times a day. That forces me to re-loggin everytime and even disconect me from IRC if I was connected or stuff.
But on the bright side they can't ban me based on my ip for long lol... (Not that I'm used to getting banned from anywhere...)

I'm betting it's dynamic IP. Stealth, you have to re-login every time here? Can you keep track of a few of your IP addresses for a few days and PM them to me? I would like to fix this problem for you.

It's very nice of you to ask Manick, but it doesn't really bother me that much to re-login every now and then.
But I will probably keep a tab of my IPs, it's interesting to see if there is some kind of patern or are there some that are re-used... And if I change my mind I might send them to you if you didn't change your mind by then lol.

I won't change my mind... for every vocal person with the problem there are like 2000 others who aren't vocal about it. If I fix it for you, I fix it for countless others.

I didn't think that the data you'd get from me would solve the problem for everybody at the same time! I though you'd need the same info from anyone that wants the problem solved to.
I have absolutly no idea about how all this works anyway (I have absolutly zero experience with Web development). But if you could solve the problem once and for all, I'll help, sure!
(And does the fact that I'm using a router change anything?)

That'd be great, thanks smile

And to answer your question; Nope. Just make sure you use a website like http://www.whatismyip.com to get the info.

Also for the poll, how come it doesn't show the number of people that represent 58.2%? Didn't it use to do that or was that on Baka-Updates' anime site?
