HF polls showing incorrect poll results? - Wakka - Nov 19, 2016

So I made a thread earlier on which web browser members preffered... Now if you add up all the users who voted for google chrome it doesn't tally up with the result on the right... The result should say 17 not 15.

Dunno whether this is a known bug or not, couldn't find anything when searching.

"This is an issue caused by MyBB not having a normalized database structure. They most likely do it to make it faster to get the numbers. That also means that the cached numbers and the actual votes don't add up on larger boards.
Mentors use this userscript to count the actual votes on the MotM poll, which will look at the usernames and change the numbers."
