Topic: Resetting a Poll

I have a dead poll; containing no longer valid results. I would like to be ale to reset the votes in the poll without deleting; it and the numerous posts that go along with it.

I thought that their use to be a way to reset the poll; but I can't find it. I have done a major upgrade; from a WebWiz forum that was probably around version 6 to 10.14. So it may be possible that the ability to reset the poll was removed for some reason.

I would also prefer not to have to manually edit the database. sooo...

Am I missing something, or... what are my options?

Thanks.

There is not a way to reset a Poll. I pretty sure it was the same with version 6, but as that was over 10 years ago I could not say for certain.

Well; maybe it might have been a Myspace poll or something.. I know which ever it was; it had been designed that if you make any changes the poll resets automatically.

The ability to reset the poll results, ,but be something WebWiz considers for future releases. That, and the ability to add additional selections. Or for members to add "optional" results.

Thanks
