Global Options
Global options change program behavior for all quests. Hitting the Reset All button in this window will return all values to their defaults.
This allows you to select the algorithm used for ordering ranked votes. This defaults to Rated Instant Runoff, and will always default to that on program startup. See Ranked Voting for more information on these algorithms.
Note that changing this options will automatically trigger an update of the tally output. If Debug Mode is turned on, this allows you to see custom debug data for ranked votes. It's usually easiest to see this when the display is set to Compact Mode.
Among the possible output options under display mode is Spoiler All, which places spoilers around the entire contents of the tally output. Sometimes, however, you want to use a different display mode, but still place the entire output inside spoilers.
Turning on this flag will cause spoilers to always be generated surrounding the full text of the entire output, regardless of display mode.
By default, if a vote has no users voting it, it is not displayed. This generally happens when a plan was created, but the user who made the plan later changed to a different vote, leaving the plan 'orphaned'.
Turning this option on will show such votes even though they don't have any real users supporting them.
There are times when a web proxy can interfere with NetTally's ability to load pages. This disables the automatic lookup process so that the HTTP client tries to connect directly to the internet.
Enable this if you are having troubles getting the program to connect to a forum host.
Activating this option will only last until the next time the program is restarted. It will always reset to false on startup.
When active, the program will store the author name with the post ID attached to it, for each post. That is, the author of each post will be considered "username_12345" instead of just "username". This ensures that the author of every single post is considered unique, even if it's the same author posting multiple times. It also means that the default filter preventing anything posted by the thread author from being tallied doesn't affect the results.
Note that proxy votes will not properly link to an original post if they are written as "username". They need to use the exact username + post ID to link to a specific other post.
Activating this option will only last until the next time the program is restarted. It will always reset to false on startup.
When active, this will display additional information for tallies, as well as log additional information to the logging output (such as the log file in C:\ProgramData\NetTally\Logs).
