I have a couple of questions regarding the polls.

1 - Is there any way to manage the polls?

2 - Is there a way to open the polls for all to participate? Currently it has defaulted to registered members only.

Thanks,
- GSH -

I can dig it man. Nothing like a good knowledge base.

I went into the Control Panel and selected Master Settings. from there I selected the General tab. Within there I selected Allow Poll Voting. The choices are All users and Registered members.

Unfortunately, this didn't work as I had anticipated. When I selected All users, the voting option was no longer available.

So, my question is, can a poll be edited?

Thanks

i don't believe that a poll can be edited once submitted; as it'd allow you to change options and possibly skew results.

I can understand that but again (as often said) an Administrator (it's my board so I'll skew if I want to as well, but not meaning to allow that, just the wording) should have an option to edit as perhaps wording or layout was not what was wanted.
