I may have...slightly forgotten how NetTally works before setting up a new quest. I was using the vote-by-task feature, but I got the syntax slightly wrong:

[Foo][X] Bar

See the issue? Tasks are supposed to be formatted as [X][Foo] Bar. The fact that I didn't format them this way is user-side error, of course, but...

It also tosses out all the votes which are formatted as [Foo][X] Bar, rather than actually counting them at all. (For what it's worth, Sufficient Velocity's built-in tally does the same thing.)

I don't know if this is an issue that can actually be fixed, or whether it counts as an 'issue' at all given it's my own fault, but since everyone's formatted their votes this way I now have to count them manually. Annoying.

Sorry about not seeing this back when you reported it. I was having a lot of computer issues at the time, and didn't really give any attention to the project space.

I've mulled this over a lot, and I keep coming back to, "No, but..."

This opens up a lot of complicated issues in how votes are parsed. The opening marker brackets can have a lot of variability, and I have to be sure that it doesn't break something by being unreliable in how it captures that information.

However when I consider how it might be approached in code, there are some changes that I consider viable, and I'm willing to explore.

So for now I'm going to experiment on this, but make no promises that it will happen.
