That's odd.  No, I haven't seen it.  I wonder if it's overflowing some form
size or something in the browser?  Each "vote" is cast via a form field which
looks like this:

  RATE~lugnet.foo.bar.baz:1234=56

But 200 of those is still pretty small (definitely less than 10K).  Hmm.
And it's tough to imagine a browser limiting the number of fields to such
a low number as 200.

This was against the Tree That Shall Not Be Named for fear of stirring it up
again, at the time I think it was about 180 or so, and i had rated maybe 30 or
them. I went through and rated every single post. In some cases I changed
existing ratings, in some cases added new

Then I pressed the refresh the ratings button. None of my changes took. When
the page redisplayed (it took a while to render even over the fast network conn
I was on) everything was as it had been. No error message. So I went and found
another large tree (debate has enough of them) and tried it there too... in
that case I had never rated anything. That didn't take either.

Now, it is possible my browser is drain bamaged or that there's pilot error
here, I'm a bit more tired than normal, right now we're pulling 80-90 hour
weeks trying to get ready for the show.

I'm running NS comm 4.7 on NT 4, service pack 6, on an IBM 600X pentium III
with 192M of real mem.

I wonder if it's confused in some worse way on the server.  When you've
noticed this happening, did it give any error page (bad) or did the changes
simply fail to take hold (worse)?  Have you noticed whether it was the latter
articles in the list or was it seemingly random?  TIA for any more info.

I could swear it was all of them, as if the value pairs never got submitted
rather than the server side (or the pair gatherer that processes the forms
inside of the rendering engine on the client side) choking out processing them.
