Poll Bug ?


Recommended Posts

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.

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 ;)

Suffice to say, that is by design.

Log out, look at poll, login, cast tainted vote. Weeeee.

not really. a poll is to cast your opinion and not go with the group.
