Does this BB have polling?<br />My perception of polling would be where I could leave a poll up for extended indefinite periods like for feedback on two competing products.<br />Thanks,<br /><br />-Barrett<br />On MacOS 9.1 and X<br />

I found the FAQ:Putting a poll in your post is simple, but remember: Posts with polls in them cannot be edited but they may be deleted.To add a poll to your post, use this format:<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.wwwthreads.com/perl/dopoll.pl"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pollname" VALUE="995712761Barrett">Name of your poll<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="1"> First Choice<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="2"> Second Choice<INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME=option VALUE="3"> As many choices as you would like<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME="PollSubmit" VALUE="$lang{'SUB_VOTE'}" CLASS="buttons"></FORM> Is there an example somewhere on this site? Or some screen shots of how this is done. I'm looking at polling setup from an admin pov - I was thinking that I'd setup a forum like "vote for your product" and have the poll as a post in that forum.Would there be some other way to do that? Essentially I don't want the poll to get buried among other posts in a forum.Thanks,<br /><br />-Barrett<br />On MacOS 9.1 and X<br />

You could make the post sticky so it always shows up in the top position(s).<br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

Barrett--<br /><br />If you want to see what they look like, you can go to my board. There are several of them on What If--The Ingenuity Forum.<br /><br />There is a way to have the latest poll appear on your front page too, like I do. Click below to see how that looks.<br /><br />Hope this is of some help.<br /><br />:-Doug.<br />[]Doug@FootprintsintheWind.com[/]<br />www.FootprintsintheWind.com

Well it looks like the polling function has a lot of potential. In the least it is a big plus in choosing wwwT for my BB choice.<br />I will need to explore further this capability. I'm inclined to think I'd want a whole section/forum for various polls verse getting them buried in posts.<br />Thanks,<br />Barrett

Looks like they are using something else. Possibly called quickpoll?
