Description

I have a lot of visitors in my website, and no one anonymous has voted on the polls for days. I couldn't vote again with proxies. It's like as if the poll considers Anonymous voter 1 person, not thousands. So I think no one can vote anymore on my site. It's been like 3 votes (2 members and 1 anonymous) for the past few days. Any ideas?

I'm seeing the same problem with 6. I've tried configuring it to reset anonymous users' ip after an hour, but it doesn't appear to matter. Any joy getting this working?

The 6.x version works better, but it still has problems like... % calculation is completely wrong...

I'm having so many problems with it - doesn't matter if caching is on or off, doesn't matter if VotingAPI is set to roll over, it won't let me vote more than once and then it shows the results and never lets anybody vote again. =E

Days like this make me wish I used Wordpress. For even five seconds. Sometimes as long as ten...

Days like this make me wonder why I volunteer to maintain a module and listen to people complain without being paid for it.

Hi Chris,

Sorry to cause offense. Clearly my joke-making skills were impacted by a long, long day of troubleshooting.

I was nevertheless attempting to provide actual information, not just complain. ie: caching on or off, VotingAPI settings != result. I can't find anything related to any of my other installed modules that might be conflicting. My installation just doesn't seem to want to believe that another Anonymous (uid 0) is a distinct individual regardless of time or IP.
