Karma points and voting without commenting.
May 21st 2008 22:14
I'm not sure if anyone else finds this a problem but it drives me bananas. There may be a reason for it but I'm not sure. Maybe a more experienced Orbler can clue me in.
Whenever I open Orble, I always log in then I just go off surfing through the many pages and clicking on the posts that look interesting. Sometimes I want to leave a comment but there are times I don't really have anything to say but want to vote. Often because I haven't 'logged in' on that particular page it will register as an anonymous vote. Sometimes I don't think to check if my name has appeared and by then it's too late, only 1 point has been given when my karma points should have awarded that person a higher vote. Isn't that the point of karma points?
It doesn't seem to happen all the time so I can't figure out if it's because I'm visiting a different domain. Is there a way around this? I don't want to have to try to remember to log into every post I'm reading so I can vote with my higher karma value. I just left a vote on someone's post who deserved the 10 points I could give (even though I had nothing to contribute) but because I didn't check before clicking the vote button the post only got 1. I know karma points are awarded to us as an incentive to comment and contribute to the Orble community but sometimes I don't really have anything to say but have enjoyed reading.
Is there a setting that keeps you logged in for every page?
Cheers,

Orble Notes
However, once you have logged into a particular domain you should not have to do so again unless you either log-out or delete your cookies.
I wish I could make it so that you could login to every domain at once, however it's just not technically possible at the moment. I could set up an automatic redirect, however I would have to pay for another server just for the purpose and it would also slow down page loading times.

I had a feeling it might have something to do with the separate domains. It also explains why it didn't do it all the time. I'm already logged in with certain domains that I revisit often and it's obviously happening when I click into something new. That makes perfect sense. I'll just have to be less forgetful!
Thanks for the explanation.
Cheers
