Active vote glitch

Recently I received a few emails/reports about new artworks that had one active vote less than they should have. However since the votes are recalculated over night, this problem resolves itself. Never the less, it can prevent artworks from being in the top 10 for one day because they miss the points of that one vote.

I'm not entirely sure what goes wrong, but I'll pass it on to Martijn.

Regarding active votes. At GFXartist the votes an artwork receive have a lifespan of about a week. This keeps the top lists dynamic and prevents artworks from stying in the top 10 for ever and ever. At the artwork both the active score and total score are displayed. The active score influences the rank of the artwork, while the total score shows how many votes/points it has gathered in total. Based on the total score we compile the G-spot.

Yeah I recieved the errors too, and was allready looking into it... It's pretty strange, but as you said, the recent votes are recalculated overnight...

Strange, if there is an error that the last vote someone recieves somehow seems to keep being counted (even if it's more than a year ago) nobody complains. But if one of you misses one vote my mailbox is burning...

Every night, when the votes are recalculaded, there is a small gap between the calculation, and the update of the numbers. Depending on the amount of votes this gap can be 30 seconds or so.

If someone gives a vote just in this gap, the calculation will seem incorrect...

Now the solution... :S

I changed the daily-update script so the gap between calculating and updating is allmost gone...
