Board Thread:Wiki/Forum Technical Support/@comment-25101690-20161212235029

As reported yesterday it seems that Wikia currently has a problem with polls. The problem is that if you (re-)load a page with a poll, all current vote counters display 0, even if you or others have voted in the poll.

I investigated into it and here is what I found out so far:
 * Only polls inside threads are affected, not polls in normal pages.
 * Even though no results are shown, the votes are still counted.
 * I made a test on Community Central to assure that all of Wikia, not just the LOTR Mod Wiki is affected.
 * I asked in Community Central to make a poll I prepared and all who responded encountered the same bug.
 * I tested it in both Firefox and Internet Explorer (I don't have any other browsers installed on this PC) with no differences.
 * I tested multiple different formats for polls with no differences.
 * The polls that were originally reported are now all working again. This has led me to two theories:
 * Only the first poll of a thread is affected. I could easily exclude this theory in an experiment.
 * Polls need some time before their results are shown. I can't test this right now.

I will now report this bug to Wikia and hope to find help. I found no other reports about this bug.
