Disable Voting

Switch Blayde 🚫

I just uploaded the first chapter of a story to SOL and disabled voting.

When I proofed the chapter after it was posted, I noticed at the bottom I was able to vote on it. But I disabled voting when I submitted it.

I went into the Manage Stories and clicked on voting. That didn't do anything.

How can I tell if voting is turned off? How do I turn it off it it is not?

OK, when I go into stats it says voting is allowed.

How do I turn it off? (I said to disable voting when I submitted the chapter.)

But when I click on "Voting" it doesn't do anything. It just blinks.

I tried it with one of my stories, and it works (iPad, iOS 14, Safari or Firefox). Must be your browser. Reset browser and restart. Hope this helps.

I closed Safari, reopened it, and clicking on "Voting" still didn't work. Then I tried it on Chrome and it did not work.

I recently upgraded the OS on my Mac Book Pro to Big Sur 11.01. But I find it hard to believe that's it.

Just tried on iMac, Mohave, Safari, still works. MBPro, Catalina, Safari also works. Could be a glitch under BigSur. Best contact Lazeez.

As always, ask Lazeez. Just mentioning his name will likely get an official response, without having to repeat it three-times like other wannabe Administrators. ;)

But personally, I've never turned off voting, no matter how many 1-votes I get. I have had to turn off comments—after I got some really abuse ones which I wanted to protect my readers from—but that's an entirely different issue.

Hastur's a sysadmin?

Actually, that makes sense.

It was actually a tongue in cheek reference to certain famous but ultimately cheesy movies, rather than SOL admins.

That's happened to me a couple of times. I wonder whether it's a toggle switch that displays the opposite of what it's set to.

I've resorted to asking the moderator to ensure voting and comments are set to what I prefer.

I hate to admit it, but that's always the best option.

I guess you forgot.

The agreement about seeing more voting details included not being able to disable voting on your stories.

I've reversed that policy. You can now disable voting if you wish.

I didn't know that. And, yes, the function works now.
Thanks.

That certainly clarifies things. It seems we all forgot that little detail.
