New poll format - can't see my own results?

eoren1

I noticed the poll format has been changed recently. When setting up one for the Challenge forum, I was thrilled to see the preview option and the ability to close the poll after a few days. However, when going to my thread, I was unable to view the results of the poll - told I had 'insufficient privileges'. Even after voting, I cannot see the results. I preferred the previous format where one could see the vote count after submitting a vote. I noticed in the set-up options that you could make the poll results public but this included putting in who voted for what so I did not enable that particular function. Any insight on the new polls is greatly appreciated.

I have already been in contact with the moderators of that forum on the contest and challenge board. I also am having the same problem. My poll closed yesterday automaticly but didn't let me see the results. I logged out and looked...and I logged in and looked.

What I have discovered is I can only see poll results of polls that have closed and I have not voted on. I voted on my opinion poll in hopes of seeing the results earlier...but then they changed the way they are doing polls. I agree with the way they are doing it for the contests...it just that it kinda has a bug in it. I hope they get it cleared up before the actual voting takes place.

Hmm...this might be a bug. Did you try clearing your browser cache before looking at it again? We'll investigate.

FTR, Eoren's wasn't a bug, he just set the close date later than he thought. I closed the poll and all is well.

So far, the "bug" only exists with JAG

FWIW, I am unable to see your results as well. my cache has been cleared as well. not sure what the issue is.

However, in the 'old' poll format, we did not need to close the poll in order to see results. I wonder what would have happened if I left that part blank - ie left the poll open indefinitely. Would I then have been able to see results? I noticed that some other polls posted in that forum say that the poll is closed and results are pending - yet I can't see the results.

ok...today I can see the poll results. Whoever or whatever seemed to have fixed it. I can see all polls...even the ones I voted on and my own poll results.

Thanks for helping out guys/gals.
