Well, I was lazy and logged in using "ryanm" instead of "RyanM" and it worked. Apparently it also let me vote a second time in the poll. :o

Sound like a bug?

So if you just change the case in your name you can vote again? Wow... that's odd. 8O

This site was made from the phpNuke template - PHP programming really isn't my strongest point, so I wont be able to fix this myself without too much time unfortunately. Thanks for reporting this, though! I dont think it should be a major problem since the polls are going to just be preferences people have on vbGORE - so I guess they can just express themselves very strongly. :lol:

Wow, I didn't realize how big of a problem it actually was. So, I already voted in a poll, but I can go click on the poll link, then I select the poll, and it lets me vote, and I can just keep doing that a ton, without even relogging in with a username with different upper and lower case letters.

Edit: Though you can only rate a resource once, so it looks like it's just a bug with voting in polls.

Well, you can keep voting but the votes won't be added, nor will you get any points.

Ahh ok, thanks for checking that out for me, Van. I was worried that people would be able to get more points from that... that wouldn't be good.

Alrighty, thanks!

Not too worried about it really - the idea is just to get people to stay around long enough to try to get them into the community a bit instead of downloading and leaving right away. Though if they dont want to stay, guess cant do much about that.

Ah, ok. Yeah, can't force someone to do something they really don't want to do...
