Opinion Update glitch

Post by ZeWrestler » Sat Jun 12, 2004 12:47 pm

hey,

i've noticed that everytime, i select or deselect to make an opinion on my video avaliable to the public, the main members page says that the opinion for the video has been either created or updated today.

Well, in a sense it has been updated. The flag that sets whether it's visible to the public has been changed.

In a technical sense, yes. It's fairly obvious (to me, anyway) that opinions are stored in a row in the database that includes the op itself (and all that goes into that), a 'public' flag, and a last modified time. As changing the public flag changes the last modified, it's technically an update.
