WA Resolution times not adding up

Postby West Newmanistan » Thu Jan 14, 2010 11:42 pm

Hold up here.....

at 8am my time there were 23 hours left to vote according to the WA page.

at 1am, the resolution went through.

What gives? Somewhere, there is an error. I was still tabulating the votes of my region and was expecting that I would be able to place a vote at this time given that it said there were 23 hours left at 8am. It's been 17 hours.

Given the close nature of the vote.... this is an eye opener.

The WA timer is off by 12 hours. It has been so for a long time, now. And guess what, it isn't a closely guarded secret either.



Unacceptable. People should not be expected to KNOW this.

If there is a bug then there needs to be a disclaimer somewhere on the WA page. If this had been known since the beginning of December as Travancore-Cochin links, then it is even MORE unacceptable, not less. There was time to fix it or make a notation on the WA page that this bug was prevalent, not wait until there was a close vote like this.

You all do a great and wonderful job and will continue on this game. But on this issue, you have struck out.

It's something that seems to occur when we switch between GA and SC votes. Which means, I assume (and hope), that it will be eliminated once the two bodies have separate voting pages.

Not quite so.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

They should at least put it on the Known Problems page.
