Real percent for multiple vote polls

[Andreas]

If you have a poll where users can vote for multiple options, the total amount of votes is being used to calculate the percent for each option.

Example
3 Options, 10 Voters
Option 1 = 3 votes
Option 2 = 10 votes
Option 3 = 6 votes

Now, it would display 52.6 % for Option 2 (total amount of votes = 19, 10/19 = 52.6%), although all voters clicked Option 2.

This hack changes this behaviour so you would get 30% for Option 1, 100% for Option 2 and 60% for Option 3 in this case.

Attention: This hack is no longer needed for vBulletin > 3.0.6 as it has been fixed in factory code.

Multiple vote polls are rarely used on my forum, but I almost class this as a bug fix, and have therefore installed it.. Your work is much appreciated. :)

Thanks! http://n.1asphost.com/ComputerMutt/SmiliesOfMine/MusicBigGrin.gif It's a bit stupid that we need this in the first place, eh? Hope it's fixed in later versions.

I'm not 100%, but I think this may be fixed in stock 3.0.6.. :)

And you have me to thank for. :D j/k

I was sick of having to apply this hack everytime I upgrade the forum, and reported it as a bug. Freddie Bingham agreed. :)
