So if I am only trying to view the poll results, a small window pops up in the middle of my screen.
I can't maximise it, neither can I scroll within.
This way I only receive the results on the first two questions. If I would want to know all results, I'd have to fill out the form (again) and therefore "illegally" change the results.
BTW I could cast my vote hundred times, therefore influence the result and falsify it... would there be a way that every user can only vote ONCE... ???
Thanks

Good point
I get what you mean.
Im sure users can only vote once
Except if they use a different computer (I think your vote is registered by cookie/ IP address, rather than account - not sure, but I think thats how it works)
But how often have you seen a poll on HOP with more than 2 questions?

You should have, at least I did a few myself that recklessly squeezed out the very patience of HoPers.... part of my good reputation here
And at least I could vote as often as the beach receives waves crushing... maybe an oldskool advantage? no, you have a fifth of my number... never tried voting twice?

For me, the voting options box disappears after I have voted..
If I try pressing "back" to revote, I chose the option, press submit, then it says "we already have a vote registered for this ip address"

I'm with UCOF. I have no idea what you're talking about. Plus, the "view poll results" dialog shows me all the poll results. If it doesn't for you, try changing the text size in your browser.

checks.... thanks Malcolm, I will handle this privilege responsibly - as I have always
errrm
"view poll" gives me a small windowy (about 10 by 7 cm) and the font is about as small as an oldskooler can read without smudging the screen... if it gets much smaller it turns into fineprint

Looks bewildered... ppl out there still use IE???
Why would I change fonts? The window is too small and (unlike with Graemlins) I can't scroll neither up, nor down... Don't want to reVote every time I aim to look at the results...
.... which is why I am threading this here

Im forced to use IE at work
Our web admin system is UTTER SHITE and only uses IE.
Its all based on asp.net, and none of the web servers we use support PHP, its a total joke.

*double post*
actually I notice that the multiple voting ability is now limited to the polls I created myself - other polls now are limited to one vote...
Anyone else having the same?

Hmm..
I could just vote again.
It may well be to do with a time delay?
