Voting websites problem.

[Sova]

I've noticed that lately happens that one (most of the time only one) website on the voting page isn't working, for example atm, when i go:

Vote -> click on MMORPG Top List

i get ~2 minutes of loading a new tab and then a "504 Gateway Time-out" msg appears...
The offline time happens usually to the first voting site from the right, or the 5th from the left, the "wowstatus.net" website, but MMORPG thing dates from yesterday and even if i vote for all 4 other websites, i won't get any vote points because your system is made to give 0 or 5 points depending if the player voted on all or not, and now that this is bugged, I can't vote at all...

2 solutions:

1st: in case this is happening only to me, which i assume since nobody else is posting anything similar, you might wanna correct the new vote checking system and make it check 1 site and give 1 vote point for every site checked so the people who have this bug can get at least 4 out of 5 points instead of wasting few days....

2nd: track the status of the voting websites more actively or start tracking it on daily basis if you aren't doing it

Thank you.

Please record how do you vote and post here.

You know, not all of us have the internet to record something....

I think you don't understand. What happens is that sometimes, one of the websites for voting show an error 504 Gateway Time-out, or maybe are offline or something, and since we can't vote, even if we vote for the rest of the websites, we won't get any points.

How often does this happen? It's a voting-site related issue. If this happens a lot I will try to make some automated system that checks for the site being down or not and automatically exclude it from the voting sites while it is down.. but only if this happens often

Well im usually voting once in a day, twice if im lucky with timing.. getting these errors in like every 2nd day / after 3-4 votes or so.
If the sites are working properly the vote points are being added after each time, the only problems are these gateway errors and offline site when it occurs.

It happens to me like once a week.

doesnt happen to me since voting here is too anoying, you should do something about it

Again, there is a problem with another voting website....

When i go on Vote -> and click on the (second from left) ''Top 100 WoW'' banner I get this:



And ofc that your new system won't count that as my regular vote despite the fact that I've voted correctly on other 4 websites.... And I'll get 0 VPs....
This is getting really annoying, because you put a new system to ensure that your server gets the votes for sure, and on the other side, you don't make sure that the voting points are distributed to the players in the right way....

This is getting really annoying.

The 2nd website is disabled for now (until it recovers), so you can skip it and vote on the others (of course, properly).
