Poll results when poll closed?

[yachp]

Does anybody know if there is a hack to allow the results of a poll to only be displayed only once the poll is actually closed?

It should be easily possible through only a template modification.

It struck me that it should, in principle, be something relatively easy to do. But, I am not a programmer. Is this something I can do? What exactly would I have to do to accomplish this task? I need a few more details than simply to do a template modification.

I am doing research before I decide to make a purchase. That is why my post is in the pre-sales questions thread

Which is why I waited before you started asking for specific details before I posted as I did :)

Well, you see, this is a very make or break requirement for me. If I am not able to get the functionality that I want, I would not buy the software. My guess it is very easy for someone who codes regularly to say that something is easy. It strikes me if it were such an easy thing to do, then why hasn't it already been put into Vbulletin. Anybody for is doing any kind of serious decisionmaking online cannot have results published while voting is in progress. So, that begs the question "Is no one doing serious decisionmaking with Vbulletin? All I wanted to get was some idea of the process involved. I am trying to get some idea of what the investment in time is to learn how to do such a modification. Is it a day? week? many weeks?
