So upon launching the SDMB just now I got a popup, “Vote successful!” that doesn’t go away until I press the “ok” button. Hope I didn’t fall victim to some phishing attempt by hitting ok.

Got the same popup when I opened my e-mail. There’s no other indication what this is in reference to.

I have no created any polls in, uh, years, if ever. No clue what this means.

Too soon yet to tell if this will become a recurring thing.

I’ve gotten it multiple times, reading SDMB on my phone.

Folks were already chatting about it in this thread.

I haven’t seen it myself (Safari on iPhone, Sultantheme).

I’ve been seeing it on my phone too. I’m hoping all my votes are going to Warren.

I saw this today for the first time. Are all of you in Chrome? Just curious.

Let me see if I can find out what this means,
