Poll Views

I've just been through the board to see if it was mentioned, but I couldn't really find it, so if I've missed it, then sorry.

Anywho. I was wondering if it's possible to get to see what the members vote for in polls. In the current proboards you can only see who's voted, but not what they have voted on. Just for the admin/mods to see, as I have some members who have a tendency to vote for themselves. So in the end it's easier for moi to see if the result is valid or not.

This is actually a good idea.

Hmm. Not so sure about this one. I think it is probably stepping on the privacy of those polled, particularly in controversial subjects.

As for voting for oneself, maybe you'd be better off just assuming that one vote was by the person named and let it go at that. What's one vote, more or less? It is the consensus that matters.

But I'm not a ProBoards admin, so I'll leave it to them to make that judgement call.

In one of the first v5.x updates we are actually upgrading the polls significantly. I'll add this to the list of features to discuss. Though to be honest I'm not so sure it will make the cut (in this way). If a person wants to display their vote they can post about it. Though one of the current ideas is to set a poll type to public, and the person's vote would automatically be appended to their posts within the poll thread. They could however still remove this from a post if they wished. It's all about giving members the choice in the end. But we support a potential for suggesting they post their vote, like in the feature I just described.

Actually one vote can make the difference from past experiences, which was why I asked. But set a poll type to public is better than nothing, I suppose.
