Re: Is this multi-answer poll working?

You'll need to have been running an 8-14-2017 build of v3.17a
at the time of importing of this message. And then wh
vote, you should be able to select multiple answers.

1: Yes
2: I was able to submit a ballot with multiple answers
3: I was only able to choose a single answer
4: No, not at all

I got 2 votes on this old poll today (one from echicken the other from MRO) - coincidence or was there a glitch, like maybe the poll was re-exported to DOVE-Net or something?

Just curious,

Two multi-answer polls from you showed up in my new message scan. I didn't look too closely, just voted because I thought you were testing something. Let me know if you want any details about those messages.

Hm. Something's up then because I posted those polls a year ago. :-|

Lately I've noticed some odd behavior that seems along those lines. I usually do message scans using my own message reader, but I hadn't seen this behavior before - When doing an unread scan of messages to me, sometimes it seems like my message pointers have been reset and I'll see old messages to me that were written a year or two ago, or longer.

I recently broke the .ini writing functions here in CVS, but only for about 30 minutes, still long enough for some users/QWKnet-nodes to have their message pointers reset. I think that was the likely cause and the non-poll msgs were simply caught and filtered as dupes.

The headers of the original and the duplicate are identical except for the following:

"attr":8704,
"attr":8192,

"number":15190,
"number":18131,

"offset":5823,
"offset":8764,

"when_imported_time":1502775027,
"when_imported_time":1535497683,

"thread_id":15190,
"thread_id":18131,

"thread_first":15196,
"thread_first":0,

"votes":0,
"votes":2,

Nothing too enlightening there (especially not number, offset, when_imported).
