I just added a new poll system (developed by me) to the front page. Some of the improvements include:

Improved appearance (IMO).
If you''ve already voted, the main page shows the results instead of the survey form.
The ability to have a variable number of responses (the previous system was either 5 - no more, no less - or yes/no).
The ability for users to automatically submit survey ideas.
The ability to have surveys where you can pick multiple answers.
The ability to have an "Other" option, which will allow you to enter a custom response.

The last two features weren''t used in the current poll, but they will be in the future. Let me know what you think, especially if you find any bugs.

Very nice!

I think it is an overall improvement, but I especially like seeing the results on the main page after you''ve voted. Good Job!

An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.
[edit]
It worked fine after a refresh.

Raduprv: I had to update a script just before you posted, so that may have been the reason. If you continue having problems, post again.

Now you just have to convince the poll-maker to quit putting stupid answers into the poll so that the whole rest of the thing is completely skewed.

Will the polls now start tracking the date of the polls too? (i.e. when the poll started/end or just a single date). It would certainly help since polls like "does your browser support PNG" aren''t much help if you can''t estimate how out of date the results are.

I''m recording the date that the poll was created. I can display that if people would find it useful.
