no reply from 19th - Questions about the voting tool

Sorry to bump this, but I think it's slipped through the cracks and is already on it's way to page 6. Not an urgent request, but I'd like a reply all the same. Pathfinder did respond quick, but was waiting on someone else for the full details.

I have no votes available, but when I list by My Votes, I only see 9 votes allocated, is this a bug or are some hidden allocations?

If I sort all votes by 'Votes Placed', I have 5 votes listed in one of the top proposals, this proposal is now locked (Acknowledged). Are those 5 votes lost, or are they now returned to me to use elsewhere? This proposal isn't one of the proposals that show up in My Votes.

Thanks

Hey Partington! Two things:

(1) first problem you're reporting sounds like a bug. What happens if you remove as many votes as you can (keep track of your proposal #s) and then re-vote again?

and

(2) Please email me (torley@lindenlab.com) the # of the proposal. Acknowledged proposals SHOULD send your votes back to you, yes.

I'll dig deeper...
