A few poll suggestions

[ave]

I can't be sure if this is an option for vBulletin or not. I guess we'll just have to hope.

Anyway, my suggestion is for polls. Being able to retract votes would be a nice idea. Maybe the thread owner would be allowed to choose if they wanted to let the voters retract their votes or not.

Also -- editing a poll after it is made. I think this would be helpful. Maybe not editing the actually poll options that members can vote for, but maybe the poll owner would be allowed to edit the end date, choosing if it is multiple choice or not, etc. after the the poll is made, just in case they made a mistake.

One more. Let's say a member is asking a triva question, and they don't want people to know the answer until they vote. What if you were able to enter a message that would only display AFTER people vote? Sure, you can put the answer in a spoiler, but you can never fully trust what people are gonna do.

No, these aren't very important suggestions, and as I mentioned before, not even sure if they are possible.

But either way, I'd like to hear your opinions. Thanks.

Nice suggestions! Another good one would be to put a little dot (not grey) by a poll you already voted on. I remember that one from a while back.

Oh! I had the same idea for the second one once! I definitely agree with all of them, but love the last two the best! The message after voting is quite creative, like the answer to the trivia! The only problem would be if the person posted "OH! I guess I got it wrong! The real answer was..." It would kinda ruin the fun then, but I'm sure we could work around it.

What a lucky thing, some of your poll wishes are already available. The poll owner can edit the poll, change the closing date, the options, etc. There is a little "Edit Poll" button in the upper right-hand corner of the poll box.

However, the idea of retracting votes, and of revealing the answer immediately after voting, would lead to cheating and a lot of complaints and hurt feelings.
