Topic Voting Anyone?

[wind-borne]

I foresee a flurry of negative votes but don't us Macnuts deserve more than squares

[Rich O Brien]

@WB

Some more info other than just 'squares' would be helpful

Hey, I can negative vote on my post, but not upvote....

You've only one chance at voting so make it count

I'm just curious why enable the negative vote for own-post, but not the positive?

[Rich O Brien]

Ok, so you've since added an image, after posting, so I see you're issue....

No Mac to test problem but can another Mac user confirm there are no icons?

[Rich O Brien]

It's early alpha what we are doing....

The more use of the system, positive or negative, will help us dictate the direction.

Give it a week or so to see who votes, what is voted for etc...

We'll let ye know what you are doing and decide from there.

[pilou]

Will be more useful for give the direction and number of passengers for hitch-hiking!

Why I can't I click the thumbs? I've tried it several times, cookies are on. I've reset safari and reset my safari preferences.

Bloody macs!

What happens if you click a thumbup on this post?

I've often wondered why I thought all those boxes looked so lame

I can vote though

Version of Safari and OS?

[wind-borne]

Version of Safari and OS?

OSX 10.9
Safari 7.0 (9537.71)

[olishea]

OSX: 10.8.3

Safari: 6.0.3

Never installed Maverick or whatever it's called. If it aint broke....

Perhaps I should just update anyway

[olishea]

Nothing. I can see the thumbs but nothing happens when I click them. It's as if my Safari won't recognise it as a button, ie the arrow cursor doesn't change to a finger when you hover over it.

And how hilarious that my post received 3 votes lol

[andybot]

hmmm. Now I can vote positive on my own post. I'm wondering what people think on being able to change the vote later. Looks like it's not possible to change currently. I think it would be "fun" to be able to change on a whim... you know, for the indecisive or "sensible" types...

[andybot]

In seriousness, I tend to agree. I would like to see some way to track back the + and - to actual users. I'm not particularly comfortable with an anonymous feedback system.

At the moment every loged in member can vote once on every post (including his/her own posts). My opinion is that changing the votes later is not a good idea as it might lead to the manipulation of votes. The vote shows the opinion of the voter at the moment of voting. Of course this opinion might change later and it can be expressed in an other post.

May I ask a Safari user who had problems with voting to erase the Safari cache and try to vote again and tell me the result?
I made some changes in the code but can't test as we do not have a Mac.

[Rich O Brien]

Weirdly. Both the icons and voting works on iPhone.

Emptied caches and it still doesn't work. I'll update Safari and try again.

[srx]

Good addition. I guess some more design work is needed to make it part of the whole. Smaller numbers, simpler and one color up and down signs, more like the rest of sketchUcation symbols...

Thank you Olishea for letting me know. As I mentioned you in PM if you have the time and wish to participate in a step-by step debugging, we can do that. Maybe Skype or gmail voice chat could make it more effective. Let's discuss it in PM if you wish.

Against the suicides : Why not block the result to 0 when negative result arrives?
Benefice of doubt can save many souls!

And keep this gadget only for the corner bar?

For me impression is that!

One thing to note, to make the votes meaningful you really need to see both numbers.
Showing only the combined result gives you a skewed perspective.

A post might be very controversial and 500 people vote it up while 499 people vote it down, leaving a lame 1 vote up which suggests indifference rather than a divided community.

[Dave R]

Still looking for Mac users to test? I just voted one up and another down.

[Gábor]

Still looking for Mac users to test? ....

Thank you Dave,

Yes, we are looking mainly for Mac users who are unable to vote and have the time to make some online testing with us.

Thank you for letting me know your results.

I just voted with my MAC Mini [Mavericks] and it seems OK to me

[mwm5053]

Here too, voting thumbs working but not seeing any squares like WB reported
