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.

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).

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

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.
