Click here to make a new poll. Enter a title and add some items with the [+] button. You can select an item and delete it with the [-] button. Click "Create" to create the poll.

You can embed a poll in the forums using the "Embed" link at the top of the poll's page. Copy the text in the textbox and paste it into a forum post.

EDIT: There are quite enough polls in the thread now.

I'll post more information and instructions after I've fixed all the bugs and added some more features .

Cool! big_smile

Whoa! I NEED to know how to do that!

Wow, that's awesome! I'd like to subscribe to every topic you make from now on... tongue

Nice! Though I'm not sure how "legal" these are, because I remember the Scratch Team saying "no" to polls a while ago.

Aw, that's too bad… I'll report it and see if I can get a mod/admin's opinion.

I was hoping it would not be used like the one in the topic post (which is just a test I'll probably replace soon), but for things like feature requests (i.e., which new features are most popular) and other interest-based polls.

EDIT: I changed the topic poll

These might come in handy for getting people's opinions for my website smile

I'm pretty sure the ST said no to a certain poll provider, since it was causing problems with inappropriateness and stuff, but I think this one would be ok as long as it's not possible to cheat hmm

Cool widget!

Yeah, that's kind of how I remember it as well. The old poll we had problems with allowed people to post comments - and they were getting trolled on a regular basis. If your poll doesn't allow comments, I don't see a problem with it. However, the sample you posted does allow a person to vote as many times as they click - so I hope you can fix that, otherwise it just becomes an endurance game smile

From some repeated clicking, this appears not to be the case — I can't get the bars any higher, no matter how often I click. Also, it "remembers" my choice, so that when I change it, it subtracts 1 from the previous one and adds it onto the new choice (as far as I can tell...)

Either that or there are so many clicks already, you're making negligible effect. tongue

@nXIII: Are you going to make a site to generate the codes for us? It would make usage a lot easier (than say Sparks' APIs).

I made a GUI for a lot of spark's api tools.

Thanks for the quick reply! That makes sense, and you're right that mine doesn't allow comments.

I let people change their vote (i.e., by clicking on a different column), but I don't think you can vote multiple times. Were you able to increase the votes in a single column more than once?

Yep. That part's already done, so I'll add it to the topic post big_smile
