Title: Glitch With the Polls
Post by: Faster Master St. Pastor on January 02, 2006, 01:48:31 AM

Has anyone besides me noticed that if you log on and vote on the polls and then log out, the next time you log in it will let you revote? Someone should fix it.

Shhhh! Don't tell people our dirty little secret.

We use cookies too keep track if a certain computer has voted or not, so if you delete that cookie (ie logout) the site has no way to know if you've voted or not.

I'm pretty sure you'd also be able to vote like 1000 times by voting, going to another page, deleting your cookies, voting again, going to another page, deleting your cookies, voting again, going to another page, deleting your cookies, voting again, going to another page, deleting your cookies, voting again, ect.

you wouldn't need to go to another page. Just delete your cookie and refresh

Yes, we should definitely fix that because the results of the polls are so freaking important. I mean, what would happen to the world if we let people mess with the poll results?

I might end up in charge. Which could be disastrous or wonderful, it's hard to say at this point.  ;)

Of course we have to change it! If we don't we'll be walking around with inaccurate beliefs as to people's new years resolutions!

Actually, we already know what your resolutions are. We use the poll as way of finding out how honest you are.

If I said I had a resolution, it would be a vicious lie.
