Since the site refresh, I've noticed that my votes don't seem to register. I'm talking about thumbs-up/thumbs-down voting on replies to the front page stories, not forum posts.

It used to be that I'd see my vote reflected in the totals immediately. Now that only happens approximately one tenth of the time. Even refreshing the page doesn't update the vote count, so I suspect my votes are not getting through at all.

Is this an AJAX bug perhaps? Somebody call the developers at 3am!!*

* = I can get away with saying this because I'm a developer myself... and people will thoughtlessly page you or wake you up, for trivial stuff, in the middle of the night. Usually after ignoring the problem since 10am the prior day... BUT I'M NOT BITTER... ;-)

To clarify a minor point, I -do- get some feedback that I clicked: eg. "Vote Recorded, Thank You." However, the number shown does not change from the +/- count that was already there.

They are being recorded just not updated in real-time. This has to do with a database caching mechanism being used to keep the site speedy.

OK Lyle, that would explain it. I'll disregard any side effects.
