Implemented Allow vote changes on polls, be able to specify number of options & add poll to existing thread

[Paul B]

When creating a poll, you can allow multiple responses but not how many.
For example, how can I allow only 2 choices out of 10?

Also, vote changing should be permitted but this isn't an option when creating a poll.

Lastly, it's not possible to add a poll to an existing thread when editing the first post. My members would really miss this functionality.

This has already been suggested: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...r-of-options-add-poll-to-existing-thread.644/

I'll merge the threads.

poll is a great tool in order to start new threads.

need some more options for polls, please.

Being able to add a thread to an existing poll is an important feature for us, I hope they come up with a way to do this.

Just this minute discovered this problem, so it's a +1 from me.

I was surprised I was unable to change my vote.
I think not being to able to change your vote could add to admin / moderator burden as I expect lots of members will request vote changes.

Considering the current structure of [New threads] I think this is a legitimate request.
I however, think the idea that [New Threads] can create new polls or forum posts to be very weird.
Only vBulletin was like this. No other forum software co-mingles forum posting and polls.
Now xenforo replicated this odd functionality.

Hi Brogan. The"be able to specify number of options" were also a part of my suggestions
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/suggestion-poll-option.428/

Maybe we should collect all suggestion for a "Poll 2.0" in a special thread?

 

[Shelby]

Yes, I want this too.

 

[madshark]

+1 for change vote and limit on multiple votes.

 

[Ingenious]

Yes me too on the option to easily add a poll to an existing thread.

I'd also like the ability to delete specific member votes too. In the case of review forums if you find someone has been spamming the poll votes, it would be good to be able to delete their votes.

I am missing the ability to change the votes of careless or fickle pollsters, I would really appreciate it if the facility to do so is added soon. Thanks.

 

[MikeMpls]

Me, too, & a "like" for the original post.

The problem with merging into the new thread (if you have delayed too long) is that Google has probably already indexed the old thread. You're now left with a bad link in Google.

 

[Andrej]

I think adding more that one question to the poll could also be a good idea.

Changing votes is important to many because of running live polls through a period of time - in my case through a season...

 

[mistypants]

+1 from me too, for adding a poll to an existing thread and editing the number of votes for an option.

 

[rootsxrocks]

Changing a poll vote and adding a poll to an existing thread is important to me as well. I see I can not even remove a users vote when they made a mistake .

 

[Grover]

Supported.

 

[Justin Justin]

This should definitely be added. I am a bit shocked that it isn't apart of the software.
