bus book club - resetting polls?

[glass angel]

over on Challange Me we'd like to do a book club, but to keep it democratic, the 'book monitor' or first poster needs to be able to 'reset' the poll every 2 weeks or so - is there the functionality to do this? I'm making a poll here just to test it! Or if someone could tell me if it's not possible, thanks!

Hmm, so I tried resetting the poll but I can't. Do I need different permissions or can it just not be done? I can change the options and change the end date, but not wipe the votes already cast.

Also I didn't tick 'allow revoting' but I could change my vote... it that a glitch or just because I wrote the post?

so then i had the good idea of deleting the poll, submitting, then editing to add a new poll. and in preview mode, it worked! yey! only when i press submit with the new poll, it mixes a load of the old options back in? wtf?!

not only that but when i choose one of my new options, it's counting it as 4 votes rather than one, i.e. selecting 4 options and counting them as 4 votes, even though i only ticked one box.

i need help from a php genious!

I have no idea on a technical side... but I am so excited about a book thread in challenge me! Sounds amazing. But , this may sound silly , why do you need a poll for it ? Can't it work without one ?

folks, the poll is stuffed for now.

anyone feel like brainwaving a system without a poll?

since I don't have acess to the board code, I can;t tell you whats wrong. or even confuzle myself trying to work it out.

i'll see what i can find in the bug reports on the phpbb site.

thank you Deb!

for now I think we'll have to do without a poll - it was so we could vote which book to read next without someone getting a load of PMs or messing up the flow of the thread.

back to Challange Me to work it out!
