Perhaps youve not had reason for it yet, but I have ran across numerous times where I wish I could select multiple radio buttons in a poll and submit the results all at once. As is, users can only select one button at a time.

Is it possible to make more than one selection in polls and have it submitted correctly in ASP? I know this is possible in PHP and it's utilized in the vBulletin Version 2.2.9. You can see what i mean if you visit this URL:

Then click on one of the polls. I think that would be an awesome upgrade to the current Polls.

I did a little more research into my request and realized that usually only checkboxes (in VB) allow for multiple selections at once, not radio buttons.

Is there a way the poll author could simply select between using checkboxes or radio buttons to allow him/her to decide if multiple options could be selected at once?

It could be done but is something that people don't usuaully require.

Users may not require it now, but I am sure they'd use it quite a bit if it were available. The list of possibilities is nearly endless and it is a very good complement to the existing polls. From what little I know of programming (ive had VB, but no ASP) it shouldnt be difficult, especially compared to some of the other more advanced features youve already implemented into this great forum.

FYI - I have seen many forums running vBulletin, and almost of them are utilizing the checkboxes so users can select multiple options in poll voting. IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME! haha

Thank again -
