This is a test. Purpose is to find out how this could work as a casual online poll here at ipernity.

Follow the link of your choice. If you visit both, then both choices are okay for you. If you visit multiple times, only one visit will become accepted on final results. If you have chosen to hide your visits on account settings and appear as "anonymous", your visit as a vote is not accepted on final results.

A) I like coffee

B) I like tea


This poll uses the unique URL feature. The results can be shared as a screen capture.

The poll is open as longs as the unique URL cookie allows. In this case at least until September 2021. Before opening the poll, one can choose the cookie expire date between 7, 30, 90 and 365 days. So, for example 7 days would be a good option for such a casual poll.

Cool! The only problem are anonymous account settings, I have them and many others too, I guess. Disabling them for the voting might be a step few are going to take.

I still could see your visits on my photos. But that is maybe because you are in my contacts as a 'Friend'.

Another option is to accept also number of visits. So, if you visit your ultimate choice for a second time, that becomes noticed as well.

The results can be published as a screen capture.

One question: what about repeated polling by "anonymous" people? Will this distort the results?

No, anonymous are just anonymous. And therefore not counted at all.

For me only tea, please. With a drop of milk, if possible. ;-))

Good point! =)

So, it will be acceptable. In other words, "both options are okay for you". And if this would be a choice between "two evil", you could either decide not to vote, or accept both as "better than nothing".

When visitors "anonymously" visit a page, they are displayed by name when they comment or give an star. At least that's my finding, so they could be counted in a survey in such cases. Would you like to check that?

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to * ઇઉ * club
Yes please! =)

First make sure you have disabled 'Who do you wish to inform of your visits?' from all.

Then visit both of these:
Additional sugar Additoinal milk

And only comment or not. The idea is to "spare" stars, to avoid forcing people to use them. Some people just do not want to fave anything but only what they consider as worth to "bookmark".

What means "anonymously"? When you are not logged in?
► When you are not logged in, it's not possible to write comments.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to polytropos club
Just visit the link I mentioned to * ઇઉ *, and scroll down to 'Who do you wish to inform of your visits?'. Then toggle it to choose whom you wish to know you have visited.

But as said, if one writes a comment or gives a star, then the visit becomes also recorded, even if one has chosen to hide it.

Ah, I see. Never have been in this menu yet. And I don't know why I should surf anonymously in another gallery if I am logged in. This is a platform, where you want to make social contacts, isn't it? ;-)

Well, now I' ve visited both and I' m very interested in the result. :)

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to * ઇઉ * club
Strange... I see you as identified on both.

As far as I know, we are not within each other's contacts.

Maybe you currently have made your 'Who do you wish to inform of your visits?' -setting as public at:
www.ipernity.com/pref/privacy
To test the feature, the idea was to hide the visits from all.

You did not comment on 'sugar':
www.ipernity.com/gp/serola/14138/1c4e580d
To test if anonymous visits becomes identified when commenting was part of the test.

Anyway, I can try to replicate this again with my test account.

No Sami, currently my setting at "Who do you wish to inform of your visits?" is on "Nobody (private)". But your findings agree with mine that visits are still displayed with this setting, even if I have neither favored a post, commented on it nor made group invitations. This should not be the case. For whatever reason a member chooses "Nobody (private)", the setting "Nobody (private)" should guarantee real anonymity. If a member has favored, commented and/or made group suggestions, it is of course okay to be displayed with the username.

A comment at "sugar" I will post right away.

Could it be possible that my username appears in this case by linking to the test pages?

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to * ઇઉ * club
Or there is some cookie that keeps once recognized as "known".

Or if you access the unique URL from page where you have became known, one then stays as identified.

Further studies required... As we know, ima got the code as it is. We still do not all how it works.

Done. And for me it's both.

It will be fun to see any results from this all calulated and displayed (as I'm sure you'll do!) once you get enough people to visit and vote.

As to annonymous visits, just my personal taste, I always want to be seen as I feel invisible most of the time... But I totally understand people wanting to be annonymous. I have a son who puts a lot of effort into not being seen online anywhere except where he consiously desires.
