> the larger bit of me thinks we should keep it I agree, but I'm really curious to know HOW it's happening. Aren't votes integers? Hard to imagine an int update race the results in a float conversion :) Mike	[reply]

> Aren't votes integers? They most likely are. But before displaying them calculations happen °: from node_rep_line `14: my $up = ($N->{reputation} + $N->{votescast}) / 2; 15: my $down = $up - $N->{reputation};` [download] Looks like reputation was -4 and votescast 3 at the moment of my observation. Hence one votecast got lost ... update I seem to remember reading about a "multiple vote feature" (for janitors?) announced some month ago. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery FootballPerl is like chess, only without the dice} °) @PmDevs I somehow "reverse engineered" this bug, because I was expecting a division by two. Search internal code for all code snippets with "vote" and narrowing the result to `/ 2` led me to this part.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks, that explains it nicely! It's interesting that it's not a transient issue: the votes are still fractional, so an update to votescast was likely permanently lost rather than you just seeing "torn values". `Reputation: -8 (+1.5 -9.5)` [download] Mike	[reply] [d/l]
