I just voted in a poll (Luis G's poll on sciences), and after it took my vote, it redirected me to:

http://thread.php/?threadid=827&boardid=1&styleid=&page=1&presult=1

I'll give you 3 guesses what I got from that. I wonder if by going back it took my vote a second time, but I don't think it did that.

I think the server got confused when the poll was posted by someone other than

...oh nevermind
n/c

Justintime, click the link. Notice how "otcentral.xibase.com" are completely missing from it. I'm guessing it'll take fury approximately 8.4 seconds to fix it once he finds it. :D

Why?
Is he slowing down since he turned 17? :D

I fixed this once and it started putting extra slashes in the URL every time you were redirected. I'll have to look into the poll system a little deeper and see if the problem is from some typo in the program code, because other redirects work fine

I was the first vote in that poll, it redirected me fine.

Really?!

Weird... :eek6:

OK, everyone, if you can tell me what browser you're using, and whether or not you have problems when redirecting after voting in a poll, I'd really appreciate it. :headbang:

Sometimes I have problems redirecting after voting, sometimes I don't. Most of the time it works. Internet Explorer 6.

Netscape 6.1, currently on windows98, but i also browse the forums with netscape 6.1 under Linux.

Pure netscape here as you see.

That's where I was directed and got the error page. I'm using IE 5.0. (wow, I should upgrade.) :)

the board obviously wants you to change your vote ;)

it sounds similar to something i've experienced once or twise when logging in on the front page. when it redirects you after you've typed in user/password i get sent to a blank page with the world cup 2002 logo on it and nothing more.

when i go back i'm logged in fine, but it is kinda weird

i guess otc is alive :eek: :D

I don't know what yorkshire puddings are, but I bet I don't like em. :lol:

How 'bout Eric Clapton instead of the Queen. I just love him. :headbang:

I think I'm allergic to roats and I'm gonna have to turn you down on the dick too, no matter how attractive it is. :D
