	There has been a lot of discussion about Samm's Poll mod, So I thought I'd start this poll to test it and find out what everybody thought!

	Now that I've tried it , I've a few questions: How can I edit the poll text or add more options? Who (apart from me) can close the poll? Can admin set the column widths of the results table? Can admin change the maximum number of characters in the poll? (by the way, I like where you put the poll icon in the message index - I think it looks neater than Samm's original idea)

	I think you shouldn't have to make a post too and should also be able to decide how many options you can have. 8)

Maybe that could be another option - the choice between having radio buttons or checkboxes when you vote!

	Ok, I'll say that again. Firstly you shouldn't have to make a post with your poll like you have to now. Lastly you should have a textbox asking you how many option you want, default is say '4'. You could have the option of wether you can choose more that one option too. 8)

	So, you wanted to vote for: Poll on it's own (without any messages below it) More than 8 options (the current maximum) If, when setting the poll, I had the option to choose to use checkboxes (multiple choices allowed) instead of radio buttons (one choice only) this would have been possible. This is what I just said above!

	I'd like a feature making it possible to edit the poll, without having to edit the files directly .

	I'd also like something in the message index which shows how many votes have been made so you can see if anyone else has voted - the only way to find out at the moment is to keep checking the thread. If the poll was on it own (with no following discussion) then the "number of votes" could replace the "number of replies" box for that post.

	Well, I've finally installed this mod and mighty fine it is too! I have thought of another couple of options I'd like to see: Admins can view a list of who has voted, and what they voted for Voters able to change their vote until the poll closes! I'd also like to know how I can allow guests to vote?

	if anyone has made a poll using vB at the bottom of the post page there is a box to fill in number for poll then u go to another page and u fill in the info but if u decide you have 1 to many or not enough or whatever u can change it and it saves all the info and allows you to add or take a way more is that what u mean
