Hi all,
 
Is there a way to have hidden polls, i.e. not showing how previous users have voted before you cast your own vote?
 
We have polls for "picture of the month" at our forum and people tend to cast their vote with the leader. Wink 
 
Take care,
Ubbe

Question
Just to raise the question again: Is there no way to hide the result until the user has made his vote?

 

We have an upcoming poll and the users find this thing very annoying indeed. Shocked

 

Best regards,

Ubbe

There isn't a way to hide polls.

Well ... not a way without making modifications to the forum.

Hi guys!
 
Thank you for your answers. Smile
Sorry for my late reply.
 
That is indeed unfortunate. Ermm
Is this feature perhaps on the backlog for future releases?
 
What can be done "by modification"?
 
Take care,
Ubbe

I'm also curious about this.
 
I know that I used to be able to create "hidden results" polls at my forum by turning them into calendar events that hadn't ended yet....
 
Hiwever, trying this right now, it doesn't work. I think we had a forum upgrade since, or I don't remember my exact steps from back then. Is there a way to modify a forum/subforum to keep the results hidden - especially before voting... maybe even after voting - so that they only become visible when the poll is closed?

I actually created a modification for this in version 8. see the following post. I've tried it in version 9 and in principle it works but comes with no guarantees!
