Hello,

This works fine on RC2. I just installed and tested it. You did something wrong with either the template edit, or perhaps the xml upload.

Nice! Installed.

Will this allow me to remove votes already cast? I have a poll on my site that have some votes cast by the same member on a different account. I want to remove those votes.

[Holidazed]

Any answer to my question?

Hi,

in vb 3.5.1: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_PUBLIC, expecting ']' in /var/www/html/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3532) : eval()'d code on line 78"

:disappointed:

[Andreas]

Don't use PHP 5

If a user has decided that a poll is private - it should be kept private
That's why I don't support making non-public polls public.

That doesn't make sense especially if the same user wanted the admin to change the value to make it public or if the original user wanted to change the value back to public

[Andreas]

It does make sense.

What about the users that already voted, knowing that the poll is private?
They might not have voted if it was public and might not want their votes to be publically displayed.

I can see what you are saying but why is this so important after all if the Admin reserves the right to edit their posts and anything else that they have then why not their polls ?

[Andreas]

Because the polls were made private, and private things should be kept as that - private.
Same thing as with private messages - you can't read/edit private messages of you users (well, of course you can with hacks or through mySQL directly).
