I mis-voted in a media room thread. I voted two, when I meant 5. Can that be corrected? huh.gif
insanekiwi
mmmh don't think so. it says you already voted. why not ask/pm a coderator?
Chad
It cannot be corrected. Voters were urged to vote carefully, as they wouldn't be able to change it
insanekiwi
ah ok, thanks for clearing this up chad smile.gif

Fixed? There is no fixing it. Your vote is your vote, and cannot be changed once submitted.

I don't think that will be. I think it was set up like that for a reason.

So there is no margin for error? It there should be some time to correct mis-votes, as posts can be changed within a time frame. wink.gif

Voting really isn't rocket science. You either like it kinda like it, or don't.

It's really a mute point. Instead of someone hacking the voting system for hours on end, why not just pay attention to what you click?

Tim, can you ad a javascript popup that says "Are you sure you want to vote X for this thread"

Put an OK or Cancel Button. on it.

This way nobody screws up. unsure.gif

Good god, please lets not make this as idiot proof as windows. I like the unix style approach where it doesn't ask you, it just lets you do it cause it presumes you know what you are doing in the first place.
