Penguin Watch Talk

-29 29 (bug with "back" button)

  • Antihelios by Antihelios

    I just started classifying and with the first image everything was normal. But when I got to the second image, there was already a number next to "Adults" and "Chicks". When I start marking, a new number circle appears with the new number of markings.
    I made a screenshot of another picture to show you how it looks for me: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/118127077/penguinwatch.jpg
    I'm using Firefox. Just wanted to share that in case it can be fixed or is an actual problem with the counting.

    I'm not sure, but it might be where someone else left off. It might have been me, actually- I marked 29 adults and 1 chick on that picture before stopping. If you check the 'hide old marks' box I think it'll stop.

    I got the same issue and it makes no sense to me. Numbers -8 8 started to appear in each new image, then it increased to more number and now I can see this although there's only 1 adult penguin in the image.

    And the numbers always stay the same for the following image. I got no images without these numbers now.

    I tried an experiment which seems to have confirmed my hypothesis that the problem is caused by using the 'back' button. I tagged 3 penguins in this image and then clicked on the 'back' button and started tagging all the other penguins in that image. When I got new image, there had been -3 3 appeared before I started to tag the penguins. And these numbers have kept appearing in every new image since that time.

    @Antihelios Do you remember whether you clicked on the 'back' button before it has appeared?

    (I'm sorry for my English. Hope it's understandable.)

    Actually, yes, I used the "back" button on my very first picture to add more penguins!

    I just tried it again. When I started out today I did not have any "extra" numbers. I marked a few pictures and everything was normal. Eventually with one picture I use the back-button and now I have "-34 34".

    And I also just found out that the extra numbers disappear when I closed the browser tab.

    I cannot remove markings with the 'x' mark, in fact when I use this it actually marks a penguin rather than remove it. Is anybody else having this problem and how do you rectify it please?

    Could be a browser issue. Are you using IE ? If so , try to switch to Firefox or Chrome.

    @Kevin you mean after using the 'back' button?
