Uh, one thing. I requested a Dec 7th close, and I afraid you clicked the 6th in error. Hey, it's Friday - can't blame ya if ya got Saturday on your mind! Might as well keep it as is anyway, The Poll's deader than the last of my T-Day turkey. It'll allow me to start either the Best & Worst Of The Year Poll earlier (if I hear back from EDE in time on a question) or the next Personality Poll.

Thanks for taking care of that for me Gary. My meeting after work ran way late. I didn't get home until after 11:00. Nothing like a 18+ hour day.

Not that I know of. Polls aren't popular with hack creators (as seen by the lack of the Instant Graemlin box after I did the smiley hack.) Also, after trying to hack the polls myself for the graemlin hack, I can honestly say their a seperate animal than the rest of the board. None of the code looks remotely like the rest of the UBB.

The new colored bars in Poll results are beautiful and they're representational organization (red reprensents highest response down to green being lowest) is really great!
However, it appears they or something have caused a problem with the percentages. The highest votes, even though less than all votes cast are showing "100%" of votes cast. I haven't done the math yet to see if this miscalcuation continues down through lower vote totals.

I checked my Best & Worst Poll and it's there too. It also in my closed Personality Poll # 1.
What is happening is that the highest vote getter's amount is being assumed as total votes cast (100%), and all others are keying off that amount in their percentages, not the actual votes cast.
Example: if 10 total votes actually cast, and leader has 6 votes, then a choice with 3 votes is showing 50% rather than 33%.

Reep, I just had a look and, quite literally, its just YOUR polls that are suffering from this. My Waid/Kitson poll, STU's latest "Choose Wisely" and Grey's Companion poll are fine.
