Problem upvoting deals
Does anyone else have this issue? I sometimes have to click the upvote button 5+ times to get it to work. I have tried refreshing in between and waiting a while to see if the vote has counted already but it doesn't seem to...
This is when I am logged in and is the same on my desktop computer at home and work, and on my phone.

Thanks lisss.
From what I can see at the backend, votes are being incremented perfectly but in some cases, you don't see the vote being incremented in real time due to an issue with caching.
However, there might be some other issue as well and I will get back to this thread once that has been identified.

Ok, can you see that I've clicked it multiple times? That's why ;-)
Maybe I should try only clicking once and then waiting 30 min and seeing if it counts, would that help? The problem with this is then I don't know if my vote counted or if someone else has voted in the interim. It's strange that sometimes when I click it it updates automatically and other times it doesn't.

Maybe browser related? Works fine for me under chrome - although not from home as my ip address has been blocked from voting...

may be related to the above post so thought would post here ,but i was just looking and commenting on the lisss deal about the tic tacs and was looking at the live feed, and lisss created the deal and there were 2 comments by me and shadow ( i think ) and a couple of upvotes for other deals and no other 'live' information but the deal had already 5 upvotes on the deal screen..
maybe definitely something wrong there related to the issues above suggested by lisss/kb?

must be something going on, as the above has happened to my deal as well, only 2 visible push up buttons, but already at 5 votes on the deal ..

Curious - just for the heck of it I checked the live feed after posting two deals, and within a minute of posting the first had an up vote. After posting the next a few minutes later the first one was up to 4 votes - but according to the live feed no-one had up voted them..... and the second then got a vote without anything appearing in the feed..... maybe there is a delay, so it's 'live-ish' rather than live... ;-)
*update* the first post is still on 4, the second is catching up rapidly and is now 3. Still no voting activity in the feed....

I have noticed this too since people brought my attention to the Live Feed (previously I hadn't bothered to check it) - not all votes are shown on it. I don't know if it makes any difference or not...

Yes, there are issues with the 'Live feed'. Basically, it's conflicting with 'caching' as I have been told. Dev team is trying to fix it and hopefully we will have a much better live feed coming out soon.

Thanks KB :) I don't think it really matters anyway, not many of us religiously study the live feed I'm sure!
