ScarletRose: Now you tell me!

After I've gone and modified my bank online pass again, this time to Az5d%?r, billed 20$, deleted my email account and started a new one, cost 30$ for premium services, reformatted my hard drive, installed the newest Gates junk3.6, cost 199$. Expect the bill in your mail shortly.

coan.net: does anyone know for certain?
I dont want to take it for granted.
Also, if I delete a message in my outbox that wasnt read, does that still allow the other person to read it or does it delete their copy too?

rabbitoid: just so you know.. and after serious thought.. I was just kidding with my last comment.. my dry sense of humor might have made you feel uneasy.. so just wanted to let you know I was teasin with you.. 

paully: I believe the green dot means the message has been read by the other person.

No dot means it has not been read.

some of my outbox messages have green dots on the left side. Some dont.
Can someone tell me what the green dot means.
Thanks

rabbitoid: Not to worry dear... we were able to figure those answers out when we looked through your bank account.. shame on you for doing your banking online! LOL

volant: Fetishes would be acceptable - that comes under opinion.

rabbitoid:fetishes ???

rabbitoid: .. swiss bank account numbers you'll tell

I still answered the age question, but further inquiries about my income, health, insurance, height and number of beauty spots will be contemptuously ignored

Fencer: Yes! it is very good, you got it right first time ....

WellyWales: I hope you are happy with the new Polls page, at least.

Fencer: Ooops, I thought I set it for a couple of days... so sorry

WellyWales: That's correct. Deadlines are in June.

There may be others, it still allows me to vote

WellyWales: What is "the polls"?

The polls seem to be still running after the dead line ??

MadMonkey: I think the best solution is to have a "Don't want to vote" vote option default in every poll that anyone can pick. (this will allow you to "vote" and get it off your main page)

Fencer: I think you need to have 3 tabs in the Polls page. (1) Polls needing your vote (2) Polls you have voted in (but still open). (3) Closed polls

ScarletRose: Go over to the Opinion Polls discussion board and post your ideas for a poll you would like to see. http://brainking.com/en/Board?bc=153

I just wish this message would go away from my Main page telling me to vote in a Fellowship Poll, thats in Czech and i have no clue what its about

rod03801: *pouts*

ScarletRose: You can't, unless you are the big boss or little boss of a fellowship.

A mere Lifer such as I.. create a public poll? I don't think I own any fellowships at the time.. 

Hrqls:  So you're asking for a czech box so you can czech yourself off the czech list?

Fencer: , but why do i need to see Public ones i have already voted in , just seems odd

Not to worry, at least we have them

is there a way to remove a poll from the list without voting in it ?

i have 2 polls on my list which are in czech so i cant vote (as i dont know what i am voting for ;))

i would love to have the as 'finished' for me so that my list is empty .. is there a way to do that without voting ?

paully: Yes, I think that is the best option (since I don't really want to turn off the notification.)

coan.net: maybe just have an auto option in each poll to vote on "do not wish to vote"

It's possible to do NEW OPTION in Settings?
Show/Hide "You have new opinion polls to vote."

Thanks

I know things are still being worked on, but a couple of quick ideas & thoughts from me.

1. I love how it shows if there is a vote that you have not voted for in a fellowship - but there are some polls in which I may not want to answer (or in the current case, in a language that I can't read so voting would be just picking an option blindly) - would be nice to somehow click a "don't want to vote" button or something in which it will then turn off the notification that I have a poll I have not voted in - but does not force me to blindly vote just to remove it.

2. Maybe in the Polls page, maybe a separate tab to look at ALL the fellowship polls that you voted on so you can see the results after the polls are closed.

MadMonkey: That's how it works. It shows fellowship polls where you didn't vote yet. There is no point to show all polls.

Fencer: Maybe it could be broken up like other pages of the same sort. A section for Polls needing your vote, and a section for polls that you voted in? That way it is easy to go back to the page and click on the poll and look at the results.

Or maybe 3 sections. Open polls needing your vote, Open polls you voted in, and Closed Polls.

MadMonkey: stupid Q i would have thought HAHAHAHA........sorry MM

Fencer: The Polls list on the left

I had 1 public one earlier (Taneins one) and 2 Fellowship ones (a NULOVÁ ŠANCE and a BIG BAD WOLF's Private Den one).

I voted in BBWs one, and now its not on that list, but voted in Taneins and thats still there. Just wondered what the difference is

WellyWales: You visit the Polls page to find out.

MadMonkey: From what list?

Fencer: Yes! I see that, but how do we know when there is a new poll from BK or F/S, I just found a poll in there from a f/s that I did not know about....

Fencer: No point at all

Just trying to work out why a Fellowship one is removed from the list when you have voted in it, but a Public one is not.

MadMonkey: And? What is your point?

Fencer: So once we have voted in a Fellowship Poll, it is removed from the Poll list

WellyWales: It might be better to put this information to the Main Page only (similar to new photo comment notifications), in order not to overload the database by calculating the number at every BrainKing page.

Tanein: Can we have a red number next to the polls on the left column, to indicate a vote needed.

Do you want to play team tournaments during summer holidays?

Permanent link - Statistics /Polls - left column :)

Bernice: Pretty quickly - since all the Global's can do the approving also, there is not as much wait time anymore.... unless for those rare times where there is not one online.

Bernice: They don't have to be approved unless you are a pawn

how long does it take to get pics approved for photo albums?

rednaz23: Some useful ideas Phil

Number 6 is always useful in Polls. I have had a little play to see how the system works and seems fine

Only things i may add to the list are:
7. Could the Poll be left open, so new members of a Fellowship can vote. I can take the results of my Poll of BrainKing games for our next PRIZE Tournament at any time then, and then leave it open to see how new members effect it (guess i could set it for its maximum). Maybe a Close button to 'Close the Poll NOW'
8. An addition to umber (4) on your list. When choosing more than one option, can it be possible to set a maximum number of selections if we wish please (i.e. the favourite 5 games here)

Think that's all i have.
Thanks Fencer for introducing it, it will be a very useful tool

rednaz23: 1) I think there is, it's the fellowship links. It points to the Links subpage of the fellowship.
2) Really? That's a typo in the code. Can be easily fixed.
3) Yes.
4) Well, actually you define a deadline based on BK time but then it is displayed in your time zone. I think it's better because sometimes the time zone calculation is not correct due to different DST rules around the world.
5) Sure.
6) Yes, that can be added.

BadBoy7: Well; most of the time that should not be a problem. I think allowing the big boss and little boss the opportunity to delete those things would not be out of line if some people were to do that... for the most part the open field would allow for better polling answers, as the majority of the time someone does not want to answer to a specific choice; but would rather explain what they mean. The open field would allow for that.
