Content poll 23 dev blog said:
Recipe for Disaster gloves are completely lost on death. We would like to change this so that 60% of the cost of the gloves is dropped to the ground when the gloves are lost.
I see what's happened. The configured shop price on the top-tier gloves is 100k. In the update, their death-drop value was therefore set at 60% of it, which is 60k. (The high alchemy spell gives 60% of an item's configured shop price.)
However, that chest applies a 30% surcharge to the configured prices of all the stuff it sells, and the extra 30% wasn't taken into account. That would explain the difference you're seeing between the 60k and the 78k you'd expected.
I'll let Mods Reach and John C know so they can revisit this tomorrow.

Could you guys fix the auto-hammering of gargoyles? I'm doing gargoyles task for slayer now. It seems that Iban blast autocast wants to do an extra cast even though the gargoyle is smash-able.. I hate to waste an extra 120-199 cast tbh.
I think I know what's happening there. Could you use the 'Report bugs here' thread in the OS General forum, please? Means it'll get properly investigated.

Few suggestions after voting:
- Make links be underlined at all times, not just when you hover.
The box had started looking a bit cramped, tbh, so we didn't want the line there permanently. (Most webpages I see these days don't have their links permanently underline either.) But if you reckon the little "info" icon isn't enough to indicate there's something active, we can certainly add the underline.
Saxo said :
- Make the QFC a link to the topic aswell
The question text is pulled directly from the poll module (which doesn't support links). I could try to parse the text, recognise that one phrase is a valid QFC, and turn that bit into a clickable link, but I don't think it'd be a great use of time for the benefit it'd give.
Saxo said :
In history, it shows the current running poll aswell. Maybe a little "Vote now" or something similar tag could be added to the polls currently running
If you're on the history page at all, it means you've already been shown the featured poll, and you've deliberately navigated away from it. Hopefully there won't be too many people who've navigated away from the featured poll and can't remember how to get back to it! But it won't be hard to highlight the running poll in the history list.
Saxo said :
- Is the light orange what you voted? If so I think this should be changed to just a * or something, poll history has both dark and light orange and it kind of blends in so some people might not know what it does.
The beige is what you voted, for polls where the system knows what you voted, yes. I'm not keen to spend a lot of time worrying about "some people" who might not know what it does - especially as it doesn't actually do anything. If there's massive confusion about why some answers are written in different colours, we can change it, although I'll maybe look for something more visible than a *.
Saxo said :
Anyways it looks good all round. I like that polls that have passed have a green box, will this be done in real time for polls currently active aswell or just once it's closed?
Thanks.
Yes, the boxes go green if the score is 75.0% or above, even while the poll is still running. Maybe you'll see that in action next time

Remove the chatbox poll message, please.
It should appear no more than once per day while the poll's running. Even if you aren't going to vote, that means you shouldn't ever see the message more than 7 times over the course of a week. I'd hoped that people would be able to stomach this. After all, "Welcome to RuneScape" appears far more often.

Nice updates, personally I don't want to see corp and tormented demons, I heard rumors about them. Just don't want to see it keep taking turns that we have already been through.
Oh? Well, there's been a lot of interest in them. We'd be just as happy to design something completely new, of course. Anyway, they wouldn't come into the game without being polled.

On the history page it's all different coloured.. Is there any specific pattern to this because I don't see any and it kind of looks odd.
But yeah, you done a good job with it all round IMO. Good work Ash & Reach
Thanks
The twenty-three polls with names like "Content Poll #23" are in light orange, and the minor polls and informal surveys are in darker orange. The distinction isn't especially clear-cut - particularly where we've had 75%-or-bust questions mixed in with priority survey questions within one poll. In fact it was more about me testing the poll module's Category field.

If Iban blast is now Auto-castable why god spells don't?
When offering the Iban blast autocast update, I talked about maybe doing it for the god spells too, but there didn't seem to be much interest. In fact there was some concern that we'd devalue the Void mace. So we didn't poll that... yet.
