I sometimes can upvote twice...bug?

4 pointsptn8 comments

On the main page, I upvoted a story and then opened the comment thread and I could upvote it again. It only worked on some stories. I then went to 'new' and tried it there, and there too it worked on some only. I haven't tried the other way around (first upvote from comment thread and then from the list of stories). Is this a bug?

The http request for the first vote was probably still being processed when the second page was generated, so it still produced the up-arrow. When you clicked on it, though, the second vote would have been ignored by the server.

This has happened to me on numerous occasions. I've checked the numbers before and after, and PG is correct; the second vote is ignored.

Not in my case, I gave the new two points.

The Javascript on the page always seems to increase the score. You have to reload to be sure if it did.

Oops, yeah. Not a bug then :P

Can everyone trying to check do so on this comment? It would be much appreciated :)

Well, downvoting works.

now that its confirmed that downvoting works, maybe you should try upvoting like OP and check
