I added the second "Aneninen" as a direct copy/paste just in case there was something I was missing. It didn't help.Last edited by fferyllt on Thu Sep 24, 2015 11:20 am, edited 1 time in total.-

I figured it out. It's a malformed bbcode tag that causes the parser to drop part of the post. I'll PM you further details about it."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia

This is absolutely correct. It's mentioned somewhere in the help section, but I need to re-work the front page sometime to make this abundantly clear. Votes must be bolded and use a colon or they will be missed.

When I wrote my vote counter, my rule for recognising a vote was "anything in bold that contains 'vote' as a substring". (Although that's because my counter is designed to let mods choose controversial situations manually, and counts a vote automatically only if it's totally unambiguous.)scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town-

True, but there are a number of cases where a larger section of text is bolded, and the word "vote" is included there. I find it much easier (and also significantly clearer in understanding on the user side when explained) to say that it must have a colon, like "vote:" and be bolded. Of course, at some point I would like us to universally use vote tags for voting rather than bolded text, as it will make data collection and analysis actually doable."When playing a game, the goal is to win, but it is the goal that is important, not the winning." -Reiner Knizia
