@Kyrne
May you please confirm that a upvote of 1 does not become a -1 upon down vote?

I am noticing when I give a +1 to 0 votes , it becomes a -1 if I undo it.

Wanna make sure it's not just me.

Kyrne

0E800 I believe I just fixed that. Try this version

0.1.0-beta.5

Fixes a major bug that converted likes would all be owned by the same user, reported by @AngelAvila
Added the ability for people to see who upvoted/downvoted a post configurable via permission

0E800 It should, though?

Clicking down vote after clicking up vote is like changing your vote, so it should take away the +1 you added (assuming there are no other votes on the post, it would now be 0) and add -1 (which makes the total now -1).

If you unclick the up vote, it goes back to 0, same for the down vote. If you click the opposite vote, it behaves as above.

ETA:

Can you add some kind of change on hover to the vote count number when someone has this permission? It has pretty low discoverability. Maybe some descriptive text on hover (click to view votes?) or a CSS style change?

A down vote from 0, should be -1.
A upvote from 0 should be 1.
A downvote from 1 should be 0. Not -1.

What am I not getting?
Nevermind, I'll try new version.

Apologies J, replying to email notification.

Kyrne

jordanjay29 will do

0E800 think about it this way, if you upvote a post then you add +1, if you were to un-upvote the post it would go to 0, after that if you were to downvote it would go to -1. By going from upvote to downvote you are skipping the middle step.

jordanjay29

0E800 IMHO, it should be if the same user is the person making all those votes. You get 1 vote per post, so a downvote from an upvote first removes your upvote. Unless someone else has voted, the value should be -1 (your +1 removed makes it 0, adding the -1 makes it -1).

0E800

I see what your saying. This only happens on 0 right?

2 doesn't become 0 if they got to 2 from my plus 1, then I downvote?

Kyrne

0E800 if someone else upvotes, that makes the score 1, if you then downvote it is -1 making a score of 0.

0E800

If they already have 1 upvote, and I add my upvote and then downvote, it goes back to 1, and not 0?

Alologies, I'm exlexdik with word math.

Kyrne

0E800 1 starting upvote, plus your upvote = 2. Then you effectively delete your upvote bringing the post back down to 1, then downvoting (-1) brings it to 0. This is the exact same system Reddit uses.

0E800

So if I just want to retract and maintain neutral, I'll have to downvote and then upvote again to make it as though I never voted?

Kyrne

0E800 nope, if you upvote/downvote, you can just click upvote/downvote again and the vote will be deleted.

jordanjay29

@Kyrne maybe the same problem exists for votes, they need some kind of active style so users know they can click them again to deactivate.

Kyrne

jordanjay29 they do have an active style, it's your forum's color.

jordanjay29

Kyrne Got it. My forum was set to the default, which was the same color for both. You might need one more style just to account for that.

0E800

I've used reddit like one time. Not familiar with the voting. Had a herbal remedy moment and it seemed like I was unable to undo a vote.

Thank you guys for clarification.

Kyrne

jordanjay29

For sure, I'll have it check for the default style and apply a different color.

Can I set this just rank the discussion? Ie Original post?
Perfect world would be ranking discussions whilst being able to like posts.

Kyrne

arms What do you mean "rank discussion" do you mind explaining a bit more?

arms

Kyrne I mean thread/discussions/topic rather than the posts within? I would want to rank them up and down but not the posts within?
