VOTES don't appear in recent activity??

I am eligible to vote for 60 undecided questions. I was wondering how many I voted for today as I wanted to try and do the entire 60, but I don't see a way to keep track, unless I had known ahead of time I could have checked my point balance and watched 60 points move.

So, anyway I don't know how far along I am in this Marathon of voting and don't know how to plan my snack schedule...lol...

SO, am I missing something? is there some way to view my voting stats?

You can see how many votes you have done by using the SPY feature and selecting Answer Votes. Then you search (Ctl-F) for your username and count how many times you hit 'Next.' Most of us vote in bulk, so all votes are whithin two or three pages of display.

There is a bug where after about 50 votes in a row, Mahalo gets out of sync. You end not getting points but having the votes count increment. So if it starts not confirming your votes, but then telling you you already voted, go on to something else and come back later.

I'm also trying to to use up all my votes each day, partly for points, but mostly to help clear out all those old undecided questions. I try to focus on oldest first when voting.

Unfortunately @jfs no. Right now in order to keep track you have to do 2 things and it's kind of a bit of guess work right now. First thing is as you mentioned we have to note our points before we start, I know voting can be a marathon event.
Secondly we have to keep track of page views because if you want to keep an accurate count and the "20 pages viewed = 1 point" system is working, I heard it was not, adding up the votes you have cast with the number of pages viewed to get an accurate status of votes cast is a pain to say the least.
I just disregard counting and vote until the Mahalo gods tell me I have stop for the day.

You can ask a staff member they have all kinds of records. You can also write down you current points somewhere, then you check how many points you have and subtract them from the ones you had recorded previously.

I don't think Mahalo is doing the 20 page points thing. But be on the look out and record those points if they are still available. Also, try no to answer questions while you vote! :D
