| I would like to have more than the default seven answers to my poll questions. I thought I would try and modify the database and add three more entries trying to give myself a possiblilty of 10 total? It doesnt appear to be that easy. Does anyone have an idea of what I would have to do to allow for more than seven answers to my poll questions? |

Open your database and on tblConfiguration look for a field called Vote_choices and change it to how many choices you want......... that's it. ------------- FeRnAN http://www.danasoft.com/">

In 7.01 you can change it under "Forum Configuration" in the admin area. ------------- L. Jamal Walton http://www.ljamal.com/" rel="nofollow - L. Jamal Inc : Web/ Print Design and ASP Programming |

You don't need to do anything directly to the database. Go to the admin area and under 'Forum Configuration' there is a drop down menu to select the number of poll choices between 2 and 25. Just simply change this dropped down box to the number of poll choices that you want. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| i do not have this option in the Forum Config area. In the Admin area i have ;Configure the Weekly Poll section', but this does not present me with a drop down menu to include the number of answers. Am i running an old version of Weekly Poll? I just downloaded it 2 weeks ago |

The problem is then you have posted in completly the wrong forum and bought up an old topic on a completly different peice of software!! This forum is for support for Web Wiz Forums software which is version 7.01. If you look in the correct forum you will find posts relating to the Weekly Poll application and which files and the database you need to edit to change it to allow more poll options. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
