Thats becuase by logging in on the same machine as another user you aredistroying the cookie from the first login and also by voting again youare also reseting the last voted ID.

In practise people will be using different computers and not immediatlyvoting in the same poll so it shouldn't be to much of a problem.

Also if you login as the first user, vote, logout, login as the secounduser but not vote, then go back to the first login it shouldn't happen.

This is not a sesison problem more a problem of you over writting datausing the same machine and voting in the same poll as different users.

If you want more security on this there is a mod in the mods sectionthat stores the user ID of every user that votes in teh database, thisis bad on performance as it stores much more data in the database, butif you are that worried about it download and install that mod.

It still doesn't work. I have logged on as one username and voted, then logged off, then I've logged on with another username, voted then logged off the second username and logged on again with the first username and it allowed me to vote again.

As long as I keep the same session it doesn't mather if I log on, then off. It won't allow me to vote but as sson as I change the username, vote then swich back to the first one ... the vote is possible again.

Please tell me what to do.

 

Thank you,

Thank you. I have discovered where the error was. The CDate was giving an error and I disable it. Then I re-enable it and fixed the error using Documentation and FAQ's\common_errors.htm#FAQ7

Once again thank you for your quick answer.

Unless you are deleting your cookies this should not happen and alsothe last posters ID is checked which perevents the p-erson for votingagain even if they delete cookies unless someone else votes first.]]> Thu, 12 Feb 2004 04:18:20 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/problems-with-the-polls_topic9761_post52432.html#52432 <![CDATA[Problems with the polls? : Hi, My name is Nick Dragomir....]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/problems-with-the-polls_topic9761_post52415.html#52415 Author: NIIcK

Hi,

My name is Nick Dragomir. I have recently installed the free version of Web Wiz.

I have noticed that if I create a poll and vote in it, it does not allow me to vote agen in the same session but if i click logout then login again, the Cast your vote is there again allowing me to vote as many times as I want.

Please tell me what to do about this.

Thank you,
