If you try to click to expand a story in the FireHose in Konqueror (from
KDE 3.5.6 running under Linux) instead of opening it automatically votes
the story down and then the vote link is then replaced by static "voted"
text, and after that you can then click on the story link. I'm not sure if
this is a Konqueror bug or a Slashdot.org site bug, but it's clearly not
desirable behaviour.
It also raises the question as to whether it's a good idea to disable the
vote immediately after voting in case the user accidentally clicks on the
wrong vote button or even clicks on one of the vote buttons when they
didn't want to vote at all, as in my case.
Incidentally the articles I voted down by mistake were "ipod recycle bin in
MSHQ 2007-05-25 22:03"
and "Gadget Hell; Home to the Crisis in CE 2007-05-25 22:00".
