I don't have the privilege of viewing total upvotes and downvotes on meta, but at times when I hover over the vote count the hand cursor appears and when I click, I get the following error:
-
I can't reproduce this– Wouter JCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:43

@WouterJ It doesn't happen all the time, this is the second time it happens in 3 days.– Abdusalam Ben HajCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:44

I got the same thing sometimes but you just re-vote and it works– Hugo DozoisCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:44

@HugoDozois It doesn't happen when I vote, it only happens when I click on the vote count, which should not happen in the first place– Abdusalam Ben HajCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:47

@AbZy is it just on Meta you've noticed this?– RoryCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:48

@Rory Yeap. I have enough reputation on SO to view total counts, so the error never occured.– Abdusalam Ben HajCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 15:50

1I just upvoted, tried, downvoted, tried, then upvoted again and tried. couldn't reproduce, but I'm sure that your correct so +1.– RyanCommented Mar 6, 2013 at 16:06

1I had this happen to me today. It may have happened after the counter AJAX-updated (several times? who knows). Wonder if I can coordinate with someone to alter the vote count so I can test.– nneonneoCommented Mar 7, 2013 at 19:41

@nneonneo I remember it happenning to me the same way you described. Altering votes could be considered an offense I think? not really sure though.– Abdusalam Ben HajCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:04

Altering votes for the purpose of testing the voting system doesn't seem terribly abusive, as long as its done here on Meta.– nneonneoCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:06

Ah, but since it's your question you can't up- or downvote it. I will leave the tab open, so if someone changes the vote I can check :)– nneonneoCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:07

@nneonneo How about we try on this post of yours?– Abdusalam Ben HajCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:11

Sure. I have it loaded. Up or down vote it.– nneonneoCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:12
-
Try some downvotes...– nneonneoCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:13

Nope, it doesn't work. Guess we'll just have to watch carefully for the next time it happens.– nneonneoCommented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:13

I'm not sure how you're even getting the option to click on the total votes, we don't hook up the click listener, title, or styles unless you've got sufficient reputation.
Perhaps a user script or browser extension is inserting those for you?
Failing that, I'll need something that correlates with the error as I can't reproduce this.

I definitely just saw this happen not too long ago. A large number of votes rolled in on my last post, and at some point it became possible to click on the counter. It failed to fetch, just like in this example, and since then I haven't been able to click on the totals.– nneonneoCommented Mar 7, 2013 at 19:35

I don't have any extensions nor scripts installed in my google chrome. There are no steps I could provide to reproduce it. It just happens. Commented Mar 8, 2013 at 0:20
