Subject: Opinion Polls

For checkbox opinion polls where you can choose more than one option I feel like it would be more helpful for the percent listed after the option to be the percent of voters that voted for that option than it is to have the percent of the total votes it got. With polls with 20+ options you could easily have an option that only got 15% of the total votes, but had 80+% of the voters vote for that option. It wouldn't change how the votes are counted, it would just make the popular options stand out more.

nodnarbo: It took me reading your message a few time to understand what you are saying, and now I do - AND AGREE.... maybe a link to toggle back and forth between the current way and the way you propose to take the percentage from the number of voters (and not number of votes).

I would also like to see Opinion Polls be sortable so the top vote winner will be sortable - so when there are polls with 20+ options, it will be easier to see the top voted option.

coan.net: I wasn't sure how to explain it any clearer, if you can, please do.

Subject: Re: Opinion Polls

nodnarbo: Lets use an example: 10 people vote on a poll - 3 different options:

Option #1 - 8 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 80% of voters picked this one)
Option #2 - 5 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 50% of voters picked this one)
Option #3 - 7 of the 10 people vote for this one (so 70% of voters picked this one)

Once I pictured that example, it was more clear to me what you were talking about (hopefully help others & Fencer if he decides to add something like this.)

coan.net: I would also like to see a reminder of how I voted, when the results are tabulated. Once in a while, I can't remember! I guess that sounds dumb, though. But it's true!
