Parents guide votes not saving

Question

I’m having an issue with the Parents Guide voting system. When I vote on the 'None / Mild / Moderate / Severe' classifications: • If there are no votes yet and I select one, it shows temporarily but then reverts back to 'No votes.' • If there are already votes (for example 2), my vote shows as 3, but when I refresh the page it goes back down to 2. • This happens on both desktop and mobile while logged into my IMDb account. Text edits to the Parents Guide work normally, but the voting system itself is not saving user votes.

@kevinfaeyzagunawan Thanks for the feedback, however, this is expected the behaviour. The votes are not tabulated in real-time. When you first vote, we reflect this vote immediately on the page and it is submitted to the voting system to be counted some hours later. IMDb is not a real-time social network and all voting on IMDb works like this (the exeception is the poll feature). This is to prevent voting fraud as it gives our systems time to ensure the votes are genuine before being counted. You will find that your votes are included in the totals within 24 hours. Hope this helps.
