Polls at the top?

Tsonga — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:45:51 GMT

Just an idea, but perhaps polls should stick at the top for three or four days, so that more people get the chance to see them and answer? What do you think?

Hi Blue,
The problem with that would be that if a number of polls were made (Gary seems to have a fascination with them too!) then the top of the forum would be really cluttered and not condusive to helping the community.

We also tend to look at this on a case by case basis.

We could have a poll to find out if the community thinks you should lose your ability to have a poll

So polls are the latest thing then! It used to be meetings. I've lost count of the number of pre-meeting meetings I used to have. It all used to get a bit silly when it got to needing a pre pre-meeting meeting meeting!

Is it? Lets have a poll to decide if we all agree with that.

I am confused are we having a meeting to agree on a poll, or a poll to agree on a meeting.
Lets put it to the vote.

Hello James,
That's why I suggested a maximum of 3/4 days for each poll. No big deal anyway, just a thought!

If the polls are popular that tend to stay at the top anyway.

perhaps you could arrange for a pre meeting meeting to arrange the meeting that arranges for a dance, then we can have a poll, dance, and meeting.... or just a poll dance, forget the meetings !

We could meet at a pole dancing club?

I'm a little bit confused about polls. The only polls I have seen are expired polls which appear to be only accessible from the tab at the top. They are all listed with the unhelpful annotation "End date : No expiry"
Where do polls appear? Am I missing something or are all polls expired, deceased, dead, passed away, ex-polls?

That's because we haven't had one for ages.
Now if you want to start a new poll asking whether we want more polls/same polls/less polls/no polls then feel free

Where do polls appear? Is it just in that tab or are they just like ordinary threads in the lists?

Those polls are ones which PN have run from the community site homepage, IIRC they appear in the right sidebar on http://community.plus.net when they are open for votes.
If you add a poll to a thread when you start it, the thread appears as a normal one (but with a different graphic).
