Title: Poll Posting Problem
Post by: microsoft windows on Thu, 24 October 2013, 08:29:42

I have noticed that the option to add a poll to a thread is missing. Anybody able to fix it?

Well, I'm trying to make them aware. It's about time this problem got fixed.

The mods have their own agenda. And apparently responding to the "suggestions" subforum isn't on it...

Maybe I should become the mod around here. I'd make some big changes, that's for sure!

I think we need a poll to decide if we should have user feedback sub-forums as a branch of the classifieds, other feedback methods are unreliable and not every participates.

We should start using some Google Docs polls in the meantime...

Gain enough support for re-enabling forum polls, then the mods will HAVE to listen.

Deja vu: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48467.0

Doesn't it seem obvious that this is not something that is going to be addressed in the short term?

So what....who cares?

Issue still isn't resolved.

FWIW I don't see that option either - is it maybe only for a new thread?  I.e. one without a page or so of replies?

Are you asking for a posting ban? :P

Title: Re: Poll Posting Problem
Post by: microsoft windows on Fri, 01 November 2013, 10:51:39

No I am not. I am simply asking for the ability to add polls to topics, nothing more.

And the moderators closed your last thread and told you it isn't going to happen. Get it through your skull, mate.


(I am not Australian, btw. I just like saying 'mate' from time to time)

Well that's their problem. But my problem is the fact that I am currently unable to post polls. We all know this can be changed with a simple click of a button...no trouble at all!

But it isn't their problem, it's yours. They aren't going to make it available to you, so you can whine about it all day and keep wasting your time, if you like. But you aren't really going
to do much but enforce their reasons even more for not having polls.

I'm not the one who's whining. I'm the one who's asking. It's the people who make a big deal out of my simple request that are whining.

For such a simple thing, why would it be worth all this trouble and hard feelings? It takes many more than just one person to make a controversy out of something.

You're a guest here and don't get to dictate what features are available to users such as yourself. The powers that be have told you multiple times that they will not reenable polls for you. Grow up and move on.

Well, I still want to post polls. That feature should work.
