i just finished a maintenance on index.php. now the poll is based on the version you run. if you run lower then 228, it will disable the forum perms automatically.

smoothie, and everyone else, i recommend you to use either a user called The Poller that you post with it your poll, if you dont upgrade to 228. or to post polls in forums that are not private, orelse it will show it to your users.

the trick is this: if a authorised poller posts a poll anywhere (private or regular forum) the main page will show the latest poll based on viewer's permissions. if you have perms to see a private forum, then you will see that poll from the private forum. if you dont, you will see the latest poll (posted by an authorised poller) from a regular forum.

if you have a lower version then 228, it will show the latest poll, no matter if private or not the forum.

i'm uploading the file right now. i will let you know when you can download it.
