That's not exactly a new issue, I'm just mentioning it for the sake of completeness.

After voting in a poll, you end up in a different one and if you don't notice it, you might post in there which leads to confusion. If a mod closes the old thread, you cannot vote in the new one anymore, so locking it up isn't really helpful at solving the problem with misplaced postings.

I have to admit initially I found this quirk annoying, but it grew on me. It's nice being shot to a random thread as it often means your going to find some thread you haven't seen before and it makes one a little more familiar with all the different aspects of this site.

I'd have to say at this point "its working as intended"

Some bugs are helpful :girly:

Oh, what, you're talking about the DIII.Net Teleport skill? You no like?

We investigated this back along when it first started playing up and it transpired the only way to solve it was to do a wipe to some degree.

Now, I may not have a pair, but I do not wish to be strung up by even a virtual pair which I think is what would have happened if I'd messed with peoples' accounts and their lovely posts.

But, like you Master Zap, it kinda grew on me and now I just hit 'back, back' after voting unless I find myself on a thread that's worth reading. It's a bit like a lucky dip really.
