I had people two topics in a voting category which were essentially the same request, so I merged all comments from Topic B to Topic A, and now Topic A has no votes.
Has anyone seen an issue where votes on Topic A are lost/reset after moving a number of commits into it from Topic B?
I think I did, but don’t know if there’s any place I can tell if a Topic A ever got votes. If they were logged anywhere, I’d love to know so I can check.
Let’s say we have topics A and B. When topic A is merged into topic B, all users who voted topic A will automatically vote B and their votes for A will be removed.
Yes, I’ve experienced the same thing. We’re regularly merging topics. Our process is to merge to the oldest topic to preserve the chronological order of the posts. When this happen we lose the votes for the other topics.
