My main DPC page shows I voted 100% in Windows, but I actually skipped one because I gave feedback to the member. Anyone have insight on how this may have occurred?

Windows (the glass kind) · Advanced Editing
This week it's windows. Windows in buildings, the kind .. [more]
20 minutes and 33 seconds left · you rated 87 of 87 entries (100%) · Thank you for voting!

But my voting page shows correctly that I skipped one. Odd.

Maybe the voting script always shows 100% when one picture is not voted on so that it shows 100% when you have entered a photo and can't vote on it.

Maybe one that you voted on was DQ'd between your vote and now?
Had you cast a vote on any of the DQ's?

Here's what I suspect happened:
- N photos were submitted
- You voted on N-1 photos
- 1 photo was DQ'd or otherwise removed after you voted on it, leaving N-1 photos
- Your voting percentage calculation is now [(N-1)/(N-1)]*100 = 100%

Actually, there were 2 DQs -- so you probably voted on 102% of the entries. ;)

They weren't dq'd, they were defenestrated.

+1

I would love to see the creative way folks photographed something to represent a math equation.
