The best way to announce this new feature is just by using it:.



You can add your own polls to a message by clicking the green "checkmark" in the tools above the post.

Polls may be placed into any message post on the site. Your polls should be placed on topic into the appropriate forum based on the content.

As usual please post any bugs you find here.

One of my top 3 wanted features implemented! Woohoo!

Thanks Aldie!

SWEET! I'm glad I was able to enter my *true* opinion...

Very nice indeed and definitely something that BGG has been in need of.
Well done Aldie.

Sweet!!!

Yay! Unfortuantly, I'm now having problems with Quick Reply and Quick Quote for this thread...

Still, now we can make "official polls" and stuff... I still don't get why 6+ people think polls censor them.

EDIT: Now it seems I can use the Quick Reply / Quick Quote... strange it wasn't working randomly.

Ultra sweet!

Now for that "recent additions to GeekLists"

How about the ability for individual users to sort GeekLists without messing up the "official" one? I hate searching through a ton of pages to find what I'm looking for (a lot of the GeekList links on game pages don't link to their location in the list).

I have Mu & More in my "Recently Viewed" list. On this page only, the "u" characters do not appear correctly.

Bang! There goes a productive weekend. Give the kids a toy....

And a nice one. Thanks Aldie.

LET THE DELUGE COMMENCE!

Cool feature.

Polls == Communism

Not surprising - as we convert over to UTF-8 the older stuff suffers. I'll get it fixed.

This is awesome! I love being polled (that's two L's!).

Is there a way to link "votes" and "voters" to the users that did so, like the thumbs system?

And if so, the option to set a poll submission to anonymous, and -eh- nomynous?

It's a joke. Maybe you had to be there.



How about you start a different thread for complaining about things rather than post such messages in a thread devoted to a neat new toy that was given to us?

---------------

I was wondering if there is some way of preventing people from voting multiple times. It would really screw it up if you can just keep voting.

EDIT: oops, asked above while typing.

I can see this potentially useful feature being as badly mis-used as geek questions.

Yeah, but I think it'll calm down after a bit to be a really useful tool.

But, yes, it's going to get ridiculous here for a bit. Oh well, should be kind of fun.

Just remember - The polls must be on topic for the appropriate forum, and will be moved if they aren't.

I think all future reviews should come with a poll automatically attached that way we can tell immediately if it's worth reading or not.

PS. BTW, clicking on emoticons gives a warning popup, you may want to remove that in your code/javascript.

Now what are people going to do for thumbs count?

ahhhh, that's why that error has been popping up.
