New PriusChat Forums software Update (POLL)

Sufferin' Prius Envy · 12-02-2007, 05:06 PM

Thank you Danny for your hard work updating the software for the PriuChat Forums!
This thread is also just a chance to try a new Poll so members can see how it works . . . BUT FIRST I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE A NEW POLL . . . OK, I figured it out . . . you must scroll down to the options, then check the box to include a poll. Once you submit your post, a poll dialog box will pop up for you to make your poll.

You can now have up to 25 poll answers.
You can make individuals' answers public (if the OP checked the box) by clicking on the poll results numbers on the right side of the screen to display who voted what.
You can time-out the poll.

I'm still trying to figure out how to make corrections to a poll.

I like!

Okay, so I had to go and try it myself, too!

Cool multi-voting check boxes.

Now that I fought my way through the password reset, this is the first thing I've tried.

I pushed all the buttons.

Ooh, the selections I voted for are in italics!

I included the last option in my vote only because nobody else has. That is all.

I think the new board needs work. Based on the bugs & suggestions thread, I think everybody agrees that it needs work. I hated the "you" tag. But points were fun. And I'd like to be able to donate money to opt out of ads.

Generally I think poll results should be private, but I have no objection to giving the poll originator the choice, since I have the choice to vote or not.

OK, I have yet to figure out how to edit my poll . . . but a moderator has . . . and added the . . .

I think SPE needs to learn how to make corrections to a poll.
