Votes Aren't Automatically Removed?

@philippe

Votes are returned when the topic you voted for is closed (meaning the feature is being implemented or we decided against it).

So I ran into this quote here however I don’t think that it is working.

This feature request here is closed, however it still has 2 votes:

Regional Express (REX) SAAB 340

The SAAB 340 is a short haul aircraft used around the world. One of the main operators of this aircraft model is Regional Express (REX), an Australia Company that operates short haul routes across Australia. I believe that this aircraft and this livery would be a great addition to IF, as it would add some unique flying judging by the design of this little fella. In my opinion, we don’t have many Australian liveries compared to other countries in IF, and this would be a great addition to the te…

So then I thought that this might be a fluke, but then I ran into this closed topic with 27 votes:

Waypoint Quick Search

Perhaps this has been discussed before, anyways, I consider that having the ability to search specific waypoints on the map would be a huge plus while route planning. What do you think guys?

And just to put the icing on the cake here is another closed request with some votes:

Boeing 777X

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that this aircraft, B777X, would be an awesome aircraft to fly in the future!!! However, when the B777X does come out, I think this could be a new project for the IFC since the B777X, is advanced in its unique ways, the largest B777 there will be in the very near future For more Information about the B777X

Is this supposed to work? Why isn’t it working? Am I missing something?

Thank you for reading and I am just curious why something that is supposed to work doesn’t seem working. -Kevin

It isn’t supposed to remove the votes if I am correct.

[schyllberg]

Just because the topic are closed, it doesn’t remove the display of the votes for that topic. However, the votes are returned to whoever voted.

This is quoted from Philippe, so I think it should, right?

[Henrik]

It does say that they are returned according to the official Discourse Meta topic:

Discourse Topic Voting

Edit: Basically what Seb said.

[Kevin_Potthast]

So it looks like the votes are still there, but they really aren’t?

[Kevin_Potthast]

Oh ok that makes a lot more sense now. Thank both of you for your responses :) I just thought it was broken.

[schyllberg]

Yes & no. It shows how many did voted for it.
The votes are however returned to the user once the topic is closed.

(I just tested it on a super old, really bad request and can confirm it works as intented)

[Kevin_Potthast]

Ok, thanks for answering my question, you can close this topic now.
