I will be "Watching" this, to see how it goes! I don't install brand new addons to my site usually, so I'll wait for some reviews and updates to try it out.

Open to suggestions if any.

Open to suggestions if any.

Make it possible to see who voted what.

I have a football (soccer ) community site, and I'd like to use this for a fun gimmick in each round, and have some sort of leaderboard showing who has answered the most questions correct. Of course the calculation of scores will be a manual task by me (unless you develop a function for that ) but that's alright.

Thank you for the suggestion. I can certainly work something out.

It would be very useful for multiple applications if we had different types of polls.

At the minute, polls are limited to single or multiple votes where 1 vote = 1 point.

Other options would be:

Ranking - Rank your options in preference from first to last. The poll result would be a summary of which options were ranked e.g. 1st, 2nd.

It seems like this would open up a lot of...

So weird,

I was thinking about this today.

My idea is different… this is like a dedicated poll booth. Cool idea.

My idea is to be able turn any post into a voteable question.

Something like this:

potential syntax
[vote="Are you voting this November ?"],("Yes","No")[/vote]
/vote/Are you voting this November ?/2/Yes/No   (2 is the number of options)

is this something "Post Macros" could do a good job of ?
