OK - I made a vote and immediately can see the vote. There is no 'view results' button though.

That should be right, once you voted you can't vote a second time and always see the results. So no need for a "View Result" button.

Okay, I entered the forum without logging in and I saw one yes vote on the poll, but no vote or view buttons.
|
That is the correct behaviour, people not logged in can't vote.
| BlueTurbit wrote on Mon, 02 January 2006 15:36 |
Then I logged in and there were no votes, but a vote and view button.
|
Behind the title of the poll you should have seen [ 1 vote(s) ] (it did show up like that for me), no yes or no votes should be visible, and you'd see indeed 2 buttons.

Then I selected view and now there is one yes vote, but no vote or view buttons. It seems once you view you can't vote?
|
Indeed, once you hit "View Results" you can't vote anymore, unless you log out and back in again.
So far nothing wrong ...

So what to do now? You call your doctor and ask him what's wrong with your medication. 
|
I did, he went: "SAHwhat?"

Conclusion - it's sort of working liking it's supposed to but not all the time. I logged in with another login and checked it out. On the first login I could see the View Results button but, when I clicked it nothing changed. If I went out of the topic and came back in though, then the results were there and the button wasn't.
On another login I clicked the button and it worked like it should - the page re-loaded and I could see the results. However, it must be noted that now the page existed in cache in the PC.

hmm..I also click the view results and had nothing happen, and have since voted :/...but I have a theory that it was because the page was cached...so will the next person who tries please click the view results and the refresh the page(press F5 in IE..dunno about others)...if I'm right the results should then display instead of the voting thing...otoh...you may lose you ability to vote.

on a somewhat related note....is there a problem/bug/setting to do with polls in the private game forums?
I tried creating one last night (3 times) and every time I did, the poll appeared and just showed me the results (0-0) as if the poll had closed...
I was setting it to close after 1 day and tried various numbers of allowed votes. It was a simple yes/no poll. lacking the time, I gave up and asked for replies.

I have checked this again from another computer where the result was not in cache. I did get the results to show by pressing the View Results so I do not believe that there is all that much of a problem.

I'm slow ... must be the holidays! You of course meant something like a "blank vote" that would just trigger the result view ...
