So a couple times in the last few days I've doubled my points on a thumbs up. I just pushed someone from 0 to 2 with 1 vote in the TTE thread, and I recently cast one vote pushing someone from -1 to +1 in 1 fell swoop.

Has this happened to anyone else or do I just have super-manly-macho-awesome thumbs?

Or perhaps its more mundane, like someone else voted up since I refreshed?

/Who's psyched for October?
//this guy!! * thumbs pointing at self *

I did have a double post this morning, with the first one blank. I haven't had one before.

ive never noticed the thumbs

Cool! I want a thumb like that!

Sissy Hankshaw?

is that a thumb in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

"is that a thumb in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

If I was happy to see you it'd be a little bigger than a thumb ; )

/but just a little : (

All this talk about thumbs is making me feel funny.

I just thumbed all of you and there were NO bonus thumbs whatsoever.

Maybe someone was reading the same post as you and thumbed it up before you, but the page didn't reload?

Or maybe its some kind of zen thing where it won't work if you try to make your thumb give double points. Once you forget about it your double thumb powers may return.

OK, I just got my double powered thumbs mojo back - twice in the last 2 days!
Both times, there's no way someone else voted up in between when I clicked on the thread and voted, the thumb was quick! I clicked into the thread and almost instantly voted up. Plus these were at off times when there wasnt a lot of activity in the forum.
This is madness! It must be all the extra phish juice phlowing through my veins from Manchester and 10/30!
My thumbs are too strong, thats my problem right there!

Seriously, has this happened to anyone else?

After a comment goes up by two, refresh and see if it actually counted the thumbs as two or the display just incremented by 2.

I'm trying to hunt down why certain bits of our scripts are executing twice (the annoying but with the italicize, etc). I can't seem to find a problem.

@sethadam1 - Not sure what you mean - the difference between the display and the count. Do you mean the display as whats showing on the current page and the count as the display after the page is refreshed? When I have refreshed, the display has remained up 2....

There is no comment in the database that you have modded twice. You may see it go up two, but may that's because someone else modded it in the meantime.

A double thumbs up - what does it mean?!

Its that arbuckle award......

I sometimes achieve the mysterious "double thumb up", or on the rarest of occasions, the "triple thumb". I'm the champ. I wear hawaiian shirts. what!

Come on johnnyd, we all know you only started this thread to trick us all into thumbs-upping your post. Sneaky bastard.

I always assumed that it was just that you and another person thumbed it up at the same time... in fact it just happened to me when I gave Cory the big thumb for his parents getting back together--which is awesome by the way--but now that you mention it, maybe it is just my towering awesomeness that makes it go up by two and three....

I've always assumes that someone clicked thumbs up at the same time because it's happened to me a few times as well.

As you will notice in this very scientific diagram....when you have your hand in this position, you are actually using "The Force" which would account for your strange yet fantastic results....it should improve your aim by at least 87% when peeing too.

I've noticed this too. Always figured it was someone else modding the post at around the same time as me.

In fact, last night I upvoted a post with a score of 2 and it jumped to 17. I guess it was a real homerun post that I happened to catch right after it was submitted.

I have the exact opposite issue, I'll up vote someone and POOF it's a down vote.

Seriously.

Seriously.

Happened to me twice in the past 2 or 3 days. Then I feel bad because it was supposed to be +1... And usually it asks "are you sure you want to -1?" To prevent that from happening... Weird. Lots of strange happenings on .net these days

Yeah, when I first posted this there was a lot less traffic in the forum, so it was much more rare and confusing and mysterious...

Interesting bump, @Slothberries. Very interesting indeed.
