Lurkers/Visitors being able to vote on a poll?

[Your Ski Advisor]

Is there an add-on for a visitor to be able to vote on a poll? Ideally, just visitors and not people that are resisted members. I want to be able to ask why they are not joining up.

My experience is a user can be a lurker for several months before joining. It's frustrating but you just have to keep going with the content.

Why not giving the group 'unregistered' the right to vote at polls?

 

[Martin Elsworth]

Will that work?

 

[ehd]

Why shouldn't it? You can guest let post, why not poll?

Even though there are permissions that supposedly allow that option, it has never worked dating back to xen 1.x

Haven't said that I tried

But probably you did.

I have "Unregistered" set up to be able to vote in a poll but they cannot.

I also know that some people will never sign up...but I also would be interested in their opinions in a poll, past why they aren't signing up but demographic questions that pertain to various topics

Unregistered guests cannot vote on polls, nor like/react to content (as well as a few other things).

I think it could be used to obtain valuable information and a gateway into getting new membership. Just a thought.

Is there any chance there might be changes coming to this? I see over the years quite a few users have asked for this esp. regarding polls.

I'm not aware of any planned changes related to it.
