We do not have this issue. When we lock a thread with a closed poll, the closed poll tag still shows. Maybe you can show the block of code you edited so we can debug.

I have a forum that is just for polls. So all of the threads would have polls. Ouch. ;)

When ya think about it in the terms of the amount of queries some pages have, IMHO 15 indexed queries is not really an ouch. I'd think most of the lookups would actually be cached after the first time it ran as well. If you have a way of benchmarking then perhaps a true measure of the overhead could be taken. I'm curious to know how effiecent a single field indexed lookup is or isn't.

Thanks for the reply.

Your idea here might be a good thing to add to my Polls Start Date and Time hack. I could have it automatically do a Poll Closed when the poll is over. Could I save some queries doing it that way?

Unfortunatly I'm not familiar with the code you refer to, but I'd be glad to look at it. Perhaps we can create a tighter piece of code for the Poll closed hack.

Got a link? Can ya post the code snippet for the hack and where it goes in what form?

Thanks

It's in my signature in this message. ;)

I followed the instructions. I created a new thread, locked the entire thread, and get "Poll:" still.

Anyone else having this problem?

Locking the poll works, but not the thread.

Does it say Closed Poll: before you close the thread?

If the poll is closed yes, they are seperate functions.

Here is the link to my poll hack. Let me know if you think we can combine the two. ;)
