+John Teacake MVC Posted May 23, 2004 MVC Share Posted May 23, 2004 Does anyone notice this ? View a random poll and just View the results, then click back and it says that you have already voted in this poll, When you clearly havent. Its happened to me . . . Wondering if this is just an isolated incident. Sawyer12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted May 23, 2004 Veteran Share Posted May 23, 2004 When you click view results, it casts a "null vote". That is, it casts a vote that doesn't count for anything. It's so you can view a poll and read the results before voting, because that would introduce a statistical bias into the poll results. Not that neowin polls are the most reliable or unbiased polling source on the internet, but it improves their credibility a lot more ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
