Bit of a random one...

I was interested to see who voted in a new poll that's been posted in my forum.  So, querying the database I ran:

SELECT     Poll_ID, Author_ID
FROM         dbo.tblPollVote
WHERE     (Poll_ID = '14')

No results.  Hmm, strange.  Double checked that it was indeed poll 14 I was looking at, and that votes had been made in the PollChoice table - 25 in total.

I queried Poll_ID 13, with 10 results pulling back - matching the 10 votes in the PollChoice table.

Tried again on Poll_ID 14, but nothing.

Am I going mad, or isn't it logging the votes against users for some reason?

EDIT - One thing I just noticed is that it's a multiple votes poll, so does this mean it doesn't track who voted for what?  Also, it's a bit odd that people can vote on one option multiple times.  I always though multiple vote polls should just allow you to vote for more than one option, but not one option more than once.

Multiple vote polls allow the person to vote multiple times and for this reason it will not store who has voted in that poll.

Yes... that's really bad/bug, and the result might be fake !

This is not a bug but a design feature.

Multiple vote polls allow the member to vote multiple times in that poll rather than just a single time in normal polls.

What you are really asking for is a new feature to have a Poll option to be able to select Multiple Choice Options.
