UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic [Archived] UBB.classic Bugs 6.2.1: Wrong percentage-values at multi-answer polls! [FIXED - 6.3.1]

Hi!

The percentage values of the multi-answer polls are calculated wrong!!

The values are now calculated from the number of answers, not from the number of people who voted. That's wrong!

E.g.: You ask people, if they like wine or beer and they can mark both answers. You have 20 people voting, 20 say wine and 10 say beer. The wine bar should display 100% (like wine) - not 66%!

The added percentage values of every multi-answer statistik can be more than 100%!

Yup, looks like the wrong calculation routine is being used. Joy.

Fixed in the next release.

Still wrong values here.

Please post the URL to a topic where this is apparent - the routines SHOULD be calculating this correctly now.

Look here, please (I hope you can, because all are vote-first-polls):

The questions are in German, but they are not relevant <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

66 People voted.
60 votes for question 1, but UBB says 37% instead of 91%

Please approve the "Infopop Test" user. Thanks! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Done.

Just wondered if only NEW polls created after the update might show correct values?

Also the poll linked above got new votes after the update.

This is now fixed. You can delete the Infopop Test user. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
