It would be great if userID or username that voted in a forum poll was saved. Then this could be cross checked to not allow more than one vote per person. Don't know if this is a good idea, but just wanted to throw it out there. ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |

This has already been done as a mod. For extra performance in a un-modded version of the forum only the user ID of the last person voting is stored so that the database isn't overloaded with loads of extra data. For example if a 1000 people vote in a poll, you need to store 1000 user ID's relating to that poll, as you can imagine the database would slowly get bigger and bigger slowing the perfomance of the forum. ------------- 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 |

Couuld you have it so that after the poll is closed that the Admin can use a function in th Admin section to clear all that data out? Kinda like the update post/topic count thing? |

I see. Yes it would be a performance issue. ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |
