Two issues: one on post recs, the other on jury service

[Emrys]

I just discovered (I may be late to the ball here) that I can rec posts more than once. (I was reading down a thread, saw a post I'd recced earlier, and wondered whether clicking again would cancel a rec if I'd had second thoughts.)

Is this deliberate or a bug?

The jury service one I think you may already know about.

On a Windows 10 laptop running Firefox in Skinner Mode, the options that appear under the alerted post are so garbled as to be near undecipherable. The text overfills the small boxes and the lines wrap really oddly. I nearly voted to definitely hide a post that I thought definitely shouldn't be hidden, so if this is on a to do list, I'd suggest it gets bumped up the priorities!

1. You'd think that, if you rec an individual post, the button would be switched to "unrec"

to match the thread rec button.

What I'd like to see are highest rated individual comments....if someone says something profound, I'd like to be aware of it.

2. Are you sure?

Clicking a rec button on either an OP or a reply should make the count go up by one. After being clicked, the button should say "Rec'd" (if you're using Skinner Mode, recs on OPs will say "Undo" because that's what they said on DU3). If you click the button again, the rec count should go down by one.

To be clear, are you saying that if you click a rec button multiple times, the count just keeps going up and up? I just tried reccing both an OP and a reply and this did not happen for me. Let me know.

With regard to the second issue -- are you seeing this happening on Jury Service pages, or did you go search for the post on the forums while serving on a Jury? If it's the latter, that is explained here:

3. Thanks for the reply

It's weird. I just tried reccing your reply, and the display changed from Rec (0) to a yellow-highlighted Rec'd (1), then when I clicked on it again, it returned to Rec (0), as I'd expect/hope. (This is in Skinner Mode, BTW, and it doesn't read Undo.) Unless I was having a brainstorm of some sort when I encountered the problem earlier, I've no idea what happened. I don't make a habit of trying to double-rec, but if it happens again, I'll let you know.

Probably completely unrelated, but on DU3 one time I reported a seeming bug which had allowed someone to rec an OP twice - their name appeared twice in the rec list - and that was the only time I ever saw that happen.

As for the jury service issue, yes, I was looking at the post on the thread itself. I know it may be frowned upon, but sometimes I want to have more context before I make a decision - e.g. I might cut a newcomer more or less slack than a regular in certain circumstances, but there are other situations. Now I know it's an acknowledged artifact down to my own misbehaviour, I'll just use the voting tool on the originally displayed post.

4. No problem

And yes, replies do say “Rec’d” on Skinner Mode, my mistake. It only says Undo on OPs.

Technically it is probably possible for a double submission to occur on a rec — you know how sometimes people double post by accident? — which could explain why you saw it that one time. But it would be a very rare occurrence.

5. OK, I think I finally managed to reproduce the multiple recs scenario!

This is on a Windows 10 laptop running Firefox in Skinner mode.

Use this thread.

Click on your reply Are you sure? in the thread summary above.

Copy the URL https://www.democraticunderground.com/125623604#post2 and paste it into a new tab and load it.

In the new tab, rec your reply Are you sure? The rec count changes to Rec'd (1).

Go back to the original tab and rec the same reply again. The rec count changes to Rec'd (2).

If you reload either tab, the rec count stays at (2).

Perhaps amusingly, if you rec the reply again in either tab, the reply goes back to 0 recs.

6. Good catch

We'll get that fixed.

7. No worries.

More than anything else, I was relieved to find that I hadn't imagined it!

8. Sorry to revive this issue, EarlG,

but I've just found again that I can double-rec replies in a different circumstance.

I did it the first time by accident.

With a reply that has no recs, if I click rec twice in quick succession (at the same speed you'd normally double-click within Windows), the rec count goes to (2). If I click again, it goes back to (0) (just to confirm that it's not the case that someone else recced it while I was doing so).

Just to confirm, you should see this reply above has two recs: https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1256&pid=23612

Both were mine.

It seems to be quite unstable. This reply has three recs: all were mine. Somehow, I managed to get it up to 4 momentarily!
