doron,
I think your poll hack looks great. The implementation of mine is going to be a fair bit different, so I think I am still going to finish mine. I am leaving for a 7 day vacation in a few hours (Vegas :)) so I probably won't work on it much in the next week, but I plan on finishing it the week I get back. If anyone has any comments/questions about my poll hack feel free to email me - I will be checking my mail.

I definitely like it:)

it seems it would be easy to add a 3rd button that functioned as a "start poll" button:)

I am thinking it might be best to make a "poll" forum for just polls and nothing else.

And if this is done we can make another template for just polls etc no need to put all the icons on it etc. Lemme play with some designs and see if I can make anything nice :)

What do you think about this?

Maybe something like:

I prefer the idea of being able to start a poll in any forum but that's just me...

Ya I think that would be nice, im just thinking how cluttered it can get because I know a lot of people will be doing them on my sites. Thus if I limited it to one forum I can use its own template and keep things cleaner...

I think it needs to be made for any forum and then you can hack it for just one forum *OR* maybe Doron could add a permission to forum permissions such as 'allow polls to be posted'.

Ya I think if its made for all forums you just wont add that part to the newthread template if you dont want it in all forums, and then if you want to make it for just one forum make a new template for that forum with it in their. That will be the easiest and require no code changes just a template change..

about the only thing I see wrong is that you can't preview a poll.

other than that everything on the surface seems to be about perfect :)

Yes i'm dieing to get this hack install Doron - hurry up! :) :) :)
