Bug fixed with useful voting
  • andrewandrew May 2011

    Some of you may notice that your 'useful' vote count has suddenly shrunk. People have not been changing their minds, rather I found a bug in the voting system which would sometimes count a vote twice (someone alerted me to this a while ago but I couldn't replicate it until now). I fixed the bug and cleared out the erroneous votes from the database.

    Sorry if this causes any confusion or angst!

    At least I know what happened now - it was a bit of a shock, yes.
    Thank you for fixing these things!

  • I was feeling quite unloved for a little while - thanks for the explanation - and I'll not take it personally.

    You are all loved and useful!

    Heh. I noticed that my useful rating had shrunk by about half so I was starting to wonder if I was half as useful as I thought I was! Don't tell my boss!
