Hello Josh and evryone who can help.<br /><br />I have a problem with the polls on my web site. Only registered users can vote after the modifications were done.<br />Before teh modifications everyone could vote. Does anyone know what's wrong?<br /><br />Thank you in advance.

There's an option in your Admin to allow only registered users to vote or all users. You might want to double check that setting.

Actually - soemthing that was recently discovered - a Bug in UBB.Threads. The options in the config to allow people to vote are backwards. <br /><br />Control Panel -> Feature Settings<br /><br />Allow Poll Voting: All Users / Registered Members<br /><br />But the otptions in 6.5 are backwards so select "Registered Members" if you want ALL users to vote, and select "All Users" if you only want Registered members to vote.<br />They will have this fixed in 6.5.1. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Josh, <br /><br />I have 6.5.1, and I am experiencing something a bit different... One of our members has posted a poll, but it looks like I (an administrator) cannot vote on it nor see any radio buttons to cast a vote. Furthermore, I don't know how this member did so, but when I go in as an administrator or when I become this user, and attempt to edit the post, I don't see the poll code in the text box... I only see the text.<br /><br />Do you know of any other bugs with 6.5.1 relating to the polls? <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

If you're allowing everyone to vote, then only one vote per IP can be cast. It doesn't track usernumbers. If you're allowing only registered users, then it'll track by usernumber.<br /><br />Polls haven't been done with UBBCode since version 6.4 (or maybe 6.3) they are created using separate scripts. They cannot be edited.<br /><br />The user could set a time period though when they created the poll, if the time period is past, then no more votes can be cast, no matter who you are. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I see, we had 6.3 and I vaguely remember a way to edit them... I could be wrong since I have now immersed myself in so many areas of our new board, that I cannot be sure anymore.<br /><br />However, is this to say that barring the actual deletion of the post, if a member posts an abusive poll, there is no way to edit that poll out?<br /><br />Thx so much, Josh!

Right, actually if I'm not mistaken, in earlier versions, a post with a poll couldn't be edited at all - so with the advent of the new polling system, it was actually an improvement that you could still at least edit the post.

I suppose I never really noticed before and cannot be entirely sure since this is the first time I have ever wanted to edit a member's naughtiness with the poll.<br /><br />I do appreciate the help... if a MOD ever comes up, I hope, then, one can be posted here. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
