    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

    just update (didn't do a re-boot, when I put in a new build in) was only allow 1 vote

    Most likely, you received the message while you were still running a build earlier than 8-14-2017. I'll post another multi-answer test poll.

    nope, just had put in build date 8/15/17 (after I put the new other files in)

    I'll post another multi-answer test poll.

    ok

    It looks like the commits you made for multi-answer polls were on the 14th, so the daily binaries that include those changes wouldn't have been available until the 15th, I presume?

    No, the changes were committed around 3am (PDT) and the dailies (for Win32) aren't built until around 5am, so the Aug-14 5am build would include those changes.

    However, if the poll message had already been downloaded and imported from Vert (even if not viewed locally) using an older revision, the multi-answer feature would not have worked (for that one poll).

    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,

    "thread_id":18131,

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

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

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