Ah... that works quite nicely! Awesome job! I think it's at a really good point right now. I WAS going to suggest putting how many votes each game recieved, but then realized that it would ruin the whole. i.e. people casting more votes for something that has maybe 2 shy of the one on top of it... Looks really good, dude!

How often do the results get updated? It's just that a couple of days ago I was voting and had the option of Zelda II vs Double Dragon. I remember this because I love both these games but decided that I had to opt for the Zelda game. I was just browsing the results and noticed that Double Dragon has 100%. I don't know, maybe I hit the wrong button but I don't think so.

The results are generated on the spot, so your votes should always be represented when ever you view results, unless of course you have the results page in a seperate window/tab then you will have to refresh it.
I have tried many times lately to break it, but I check the numbers and so far everything is clean.
So either it was a different Double Dragon game, or it could have been while I was doing some maitenence over the past few days.
But never-the-less I will try harder to break it...let me know if you catch anything else, thanks.

This is going to sound like I'm deliberately trying to catch you out but a few minutes ago I was voting and Yo! Noid came up. I remembered what was said earlier in this thread about Yo! Noid having 100% and voted for the other game (can't remember what it was now). I just checked and Yo! Noid still has 100%. Sorry for being a pain!

I just did a test where I checked the total amount of votes cast then did a few votes and checked the total votes again. It was the same amount so I don't think any of my votes have been counted.

So, none of your votes are being counted?
I will try it on a few different computers. Thanks for the info.
Could anybody else verify if it works for them?
I click the http://student.valpo.edu/jbredber/bestGame.php link
then I click the results page, then I click back, then I vote once or twice, then I click results again and I do see an increment of votes. I don't know why it wouldn't count your votes. I didn't put any restrictions on anything as far as I know.
I tried from my roomates comuter and works for him. I will certainly look into it.

No, no such thing in this case. I would much rather you tell me than let it slide.


5 minutes later...
My cousin successfully casted a few votes form different network in a different state. So, I am not sure what's going on/

I actually posted about 10 votes, and it didn't update in the process. I'm not sure if it updates on a time period, or what. It used to work for me on the fly.... maybe you could add the vote count to the main page again, too. Save from clicking back and forth to check.

That is odd that it is working for a few and not others.
The vote count is back up. But there iwll be a one page delay, so remember that please.
I doubt it would be a browser issue since everything else is displayed alright, and all the work is server side.
Maybe there is some kind of connection limitations...not sure right now

Ok, I changed one thing. It was always there though, so I am not sure if it would explain why it isn't work for Roth (for whom it was once working)

I'm afraid it's still not working for me. The post count in the top left hand corner stays the same no matter how many times I vote.

Did you try it earlier the voting earlier? and if so did you notice an increase in vote total?

The last major change was the skip button, but it wasn't really a major change just an addition. I will actually print up the code and run through it today to look for parts that look questionable.

Great to hear.
You may also notice a link to the "REVISED LAYOUT". I created that in response to a post I received at the nesworld forums.
I think it's pretty nice, a compact version of the three pages.
Any more comments let me know.
I can only wonder how long Yo!noid will remain at 100%.

Feel free to link to the page, spread the word. I don't have any outlets other than here and NESworld.com forums, so anybody you tell would be rad.
I think it will be cool to see how it turns out after a while.

Thanks to all for helping.

Sweet! It does work for me again! Good stuff!

About the Yo Noid! thing, you didn't have to wait too long. Burgertime is now the top dog!

The Mario and Zelda games aren't voted as good as expected.
Mega Man 3 is on top now. I think NES-Luke might appreciate that. :P

I think it probably needs a few thousand more votes before it really starts taking shape. Then the games you'd expect should be nearer the top.

Of course.
I already voted so many times... the site should become more public. The ranking shouldn't base only on my and a few other forum posters' votes. :wink:
