I find it a very nice change. It will bring more excitement to the contests.

I'll post here what I posted there, and add Tommeken's comment as well...

looks cool ..but wouldn't it be better if ya can't see entry vote totals ..in that way some people actually have to vote on what's good and not on what got the most votes cause i tink that happens to Wink otherwise cool idea Smile

Tom... one of the great deals in the original format is exactly that: to follow the race. If you see an entry on top that doesn't deserve, you don't vote for it so it gets pulled behind the good ones. If you don't see the votes, you might give that crappy entry an encouragement vote, as many here like to call, and that entry might end up better than one that really deserved. It happened a lot in the old days... a crappy entry got the 1st place in the first few hours of contest... but by the end of the day, it was in page 2 already.

@supak, gref and the tvguy: implement that damn thing for all contests. You three know it worked fine and much better than any format previously used at psc.

BUMP

To recap from the News Announcement:
changes in Thursday's Anonymous Contests format include:

Each user (including authors):

- CAN see votes & vote comments;
- CAN see comments;
- CAN see entry vote totals;
- CAN sort by vote total;

- CAN'T see voter or commenter identities (except for their own);
- CAN'T see author identities (except for their own)

In other words, it is identical to a daily non-anonymous contest, except that the author and voter/commenter identities are hidden until the end of the contest.

A slight error had slipped into the anonymous contest change.

At start, the author could see the identities of the voters. This was not the intended behaviour. This is fixed now (so no-one can see any identity except for his own)

Why I sometimes see the identity and sometimes not (ex: Bill's comment on the leading entry) ? You guys are actually working with the code today? Seems like I'm not the only one with that glitch since Vok has been identified in the comments.

Way after. Your post was at 8:24. It happened right before mine at 11:30.

(But it seems to be ok now...)

Ok. The thumbnails are back.
But we still can see the commenters...

BTW Arc, you're pathetic with your second comment on your own chop.

See gref... your lack of knowledge in programming is ruining the fun...

and Alex... you're not supposed to break the anonimity state of the contest. Shame on you.
