Yeah, I know. I am trying to counter them with my 5's but too soon get a message which stops me from voting for a while.

I am wondering how much time does the voter have? D'Oh! | :doh:

Or wait, is he fed up of his life and has nothing interesting to do!?! OMG | :OMG:

Counter it the recommended way. 5-vote the gray posts. That way whoever got voted down ends up with more rep points than they'd normally have. That's certainly not what the univoter wants here Smile | :)

Yeah I am trying to make the entire first 2 pages red, but presently I am locked out of voting because of too many votes Smile | :)

What's astonishing is that the guy covered the first 150 posts and with the vote-blocks in place that prevent vote-bombing he must have patiently waited and taken his time to do this. In fact he may still be up and doing this in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pages for all I know.

I would not say that's the recommended way. I can clean up the previous mess, but not (easily) the mess that counter-voting makes.

Well I wouldn't say 5-voting results in a mess. It may be unnatural to see a forum with several up-voted posts but no one complains about that.

How did he work around the IP-address based vote-limitation? Did he/she use multiple IP addresses?

Problem with new message timing.

Do you keep track of how much time you spend on voting issues (reversing, removing accounts, remonstrations, expostulations, exhortations, contemplations, meditations, lamentations)? You know what to do, just do it. Thumbs Up | :thumbsup:

Best wishes,

* Bold indicates new messages since 18:36 22 Oct '10

It was about 17:55 22 Oct '10 when I saw this message.

Apart from that, I have seen a lot of inconsistency in the system. Many a times the 'new' messages shown are about 3-4 hours old (most of them, if not all, already read by me). I have found a workaround to it. I usually log out and re log in and everything is fine.

Is there a way to show messages in last 10-15 minutes or about half an hour in a busy day?

It's an anomaly in the way the site uses cookies I think. It's not enough to just close the browser instance/session, you need to close all running instances of the browser. (assuming you are on IE 8)

Have you recently changed to or from Daylight savings? If so you may need to adjust your settings

I didn't do any such change. I just visited my settings page to confirm it and found that option is not checked.
Anyway that problem seem to have gone. I will come back to you if I see it again.

BTW, is there any way I can manage duration for a new message display?
