In fact, looking through our server logs, you've never voted more than once for the same item in the last 12 days. These are logs of all requests, before the code could even potentially error or filter them.
For some reason, your browser isn't making the request, or it's getting dropped before we see it. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them, but right now I've got nothing to go on.
- hyp0 12y agoThanks for looking into it. That does sound strange. My mobile internet connection is flakey at times; but unlike a regularly failed request, there isn't any evidence of failure for voting (BTW I noted that SO does give an alert if this happens for their votes.) I also tried it again and found sometimes it fails even on a "fresh" page (and as you've explained, that shouldn't make any difference anyway). It may have just been a coincidence when refreshing worked. I'm having a lot of network problems recently, so that may be it. But it's also definitely happened in the past, when I wasn't having any such problems. "The network is unreliable" - this would also explain why several other people have experienced this behaviour, that looks like expired links. Heh, probably the HN maintainers have great network connectivity, and so you mightn't ever see it yourself.
