Hi DM,ããIn my message reader, I have it display the upvotes, downvotes, and score as header information above the message. It was usingãthe total_votes and upvotes properties of the message headers. Recently though, it seems those properties no longer exist in theãmessage header objects. Has something changed recently regarding those message header properties?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

Are you?ããI am calling that, at least when I first enter a sub-board. I did a testãyesterday where I posted a message in one of my local sub-boards and thenãupvoted it, then exited out of my reader and ran my reader again, but it stillãwasn't showing the score for the message. It would show the score in theãpast, which was why I was wondering if something had changed recently in the JSãAPI. I'll have to double-check my reader code.ããAlso, when a user votes on a message, I wanted my reader to be able to re-fetchãjust that one header from the msgbase to get the up-to-date vote data. I'dãthink it might be inefficient to call get_all_msg_headers() to do that, but ifãa user votes on a message, perhaps my reader could calculate the difference inãup/downvotes (or poll vote) in that case?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

That'sãwhy get_all_msg_headers() is needed to tally the votes.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #22:ãThe second ever Synchronet BBS was the Mid-Nite Hacker BBS (sysop: The Zapper).ãNorco, CA WX: 81.2øF, 41.0% humidity, 17 mph NE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
