Subject: Polls feature

I love the polls feature; I think it is a great addition that will be used by the big bosses a lot!

However, there are a few things that are missing.

1. There is no link to get back to the polls page.
2. The description does not show up with the name of the poll where you can make your choice of answers.
3. Can a bar graph be added based on the numbers?
4. deadline is based on BK time; can it be based on the users time? (same for tournies in general)
5. Can smileys be enabled?
6. What about an 'other option' where poll takers can supply their own answer?

That's all I have for now. Hope this helps! I am looking forward to writing polls so I can improve my fellowship. I am sure many other BBs feel the same!

Thanks,

Phil (rednaz23)

rednaz23: in reply to #6 What about an 'other option' where poll takers can supply their own answer........ I Think The Object is too have the BB or LB of the poll To Supply the answer you may choose from.... if there was a other option to supply your own answer.i think that would be a way for some to put smart A answers

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.

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.
