Bad poll URL

[Stop Laughing]

I just voted in a poll (Luis G's poll on sciences), and after it took my vote, it redirected me to:

http://thread.php/?threadid=827&boardid=1&styleid=&page=1&presult=1

I'll give you 3 guesses what I got from that. I wonder if by going back it took my vote a second time, but I don't think it did that.

Its normal.

 

[Q]

I think the server got confused when the poll was posted by someone other than

...oh nevermind
n/c

Justintime, click the link. Notice how "otcentral.xibase.com" are completely missing from it. I'm guessing it'll take fury approximately 8.4 seconds to fix it once he finds it.

 

[Q]

Why?
Is he slowing down since he turned 17?

I fixed this once and it started putting extra slashes in the URL every time you were redirected. I'll have to look into the poll system a little deeper and see if the problem is from some typo in the program code, because other redirects work fine

 

[Luis G]

I was the first vote in that poll, it redirected me fine.

 

[fury]

Really?!

Weird...

OK, everyone, if you can tell me what browser you're using, and whether or not you have problems when redirecting after voting in a poll, I'd really appreciate it.

Sometimes I have problems redirecting after voting, sometimes I don't. Most of the time it works. Internet Explorer 6.

 

[Luis G]

Netscape 6.1, currently on windows98, but i also browse the forums with netscape 6.1 under Linux.

Pure netscape here as you see.

That's where I was directed and got the error page. I'm using IE 5.0. (wow, I should upgrade.)

 

[Luis G]

weird, that has never happened to me, i just voted on the cell-phone brand poll.

WinXP

IE 6.0

 

[equinoxe3d]

Happened to me a few times too

IE 5.5 on Win98SE here

 

[Luis G]

does anyone else have this problem?

 

[Q]

I just voted in the nationality poll and got redirected to a Union Jack

win98/IE6

the board obviously wants you to change your vote

it sounds similar to something i've experienced once or twise when logging in on the front page. when it redirects you after you've typed in user/password i get sent to a blank page with the world cup 2002 logo on it and nothing more.

when i go back i'm logged in fine, but it is kinda weird

i guess otc is alive
