worried
I was trying to create a new poll yesterday and firstly it "was done fine",but I made a small ortographic mistake and wanted to fix it,so when I tried to edit the poll (after I had given my vote too),it got closed, I thought I had done a mistake and again I tried fixing it but never could,I had to delete my poll and tried to do a new one again, after lots of attempts and all times failing(even today),I gave up on it and well the bug or failure even has affected the older polls.

What can I do?, is someone having the same trouble or has ever had it?,is there a fixing for the bug or maybe a plug?

Thanks Wink

Well, you wrote that you voted and that the poll "got closed" (whatever you mean by that), so I wanted to remind you how the polls work, i.e. that you can't vote again on a poll for a while.

If that doesn't explain the effects you were seeing, then please give more details of what exactly happened.

bye, Dirk

Obviously, it lets you post comments on polls. Check out the polls here on geeklog.net.

And there's a nice big "Reply" button there ...

I assume you're referring to the block title. If so, change it from the Admin's Block editor.

Hi Papafrita! (LOL your name is so cool,in english it means Fried potato) Razz

Sorry I didn't answer earlier but I wasn't at home.

Comments in polls are like opinions,I mean someone votes for an option and adds an opinion,there is a drop down thing for making the Comments for polls enabled. Wink

okay
Basically, the poll looks as when the final results are shown when a poll has been closed (due to end availability of time for it).

I know (my brother told me too), that a router we installed a few weeks ago must be the reason for "Ip problems",though I did what dirk told and didn't work (my brother told me to do it too).

Besides that,the only file I edited was a month ago when I installed the geeklog plug for quotes, but I dont think that is creating the problem. (just worried), I mean I know polls aren't so important but I like that all features work,otherwise is not nice having them . Confused Neutral Doh! - that was a mistake
