Someone else voting on a multiple choice poll resets your selections?
-
Continuing the discussion from Status: THE MASONIC JAR! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!:
Just seen: I had some preselections on @Dreikin's multiple-choice poll. Some other votes came in, and my vote selections got reset.

Since the post-update occurred, this is actually expected. It's a safety feature of sorts to prevent you from voting on old data?

Reproduced.
My figuring is the same as what @Tsaukpaetra said, except for the "safety feature" part. I think it was just unintended consequences, or being too lazy to set up selection-preservation across updates. Only if the choices change should that happen, and I haven't edited it.

Since your theory makes sense, there's fair chance you did.

That's because I was answering seriously
But I did get the joke - CLOSED_WORKS_AS_INTENDED is a pretty obvious giveaway.
Whee! Discourse says everything is
504 OK!

Everything is always
504 OKaround here.

Poll:

...you can change the vote tallies?

That does tend to be what happens when you vote.

Yes, but it doesn't reset all the other votes...

Never said it did. But to be clear: person A placing a vote, and thus causing an update in the tallies displayed on person B's view of the poll, should not cause the deselection of person B's pending vote choice(s). Other changes - such as the available voting choices and the content of the surrounding post (as you so aptly demonstrated) should cause either deselection or a change notification, however.

Oh, you were talking about pending votes on a multi-selection poll.
Yeah, it wasn't making much sense before.
