Hi,
This is useful,
Can you make another hacks:
1. User ability to change his selections after has been submitted (before close of poll).
2. Each option can be selected by only one user.
Thanks,,

assuming this works with 3.84?
Since polls do not have the option to create categories in one poll, its the only way I can think is to use multiple.

I just placed code into the poll window and on the 4th, 8th, and 12, placed a link to the graphic I created that makes them look like its definitely a separate vote count.

Guess what, this does not work. I set my polls for people to only be allowed to choose 4.
One person was allowed to choose 6. I'm sure there could be more that chose beyond 4 but I'm only half way through double checking the results.

I actually dont think its a good idea to have someone change their mind when it comes to photo contests. Possibly what you are using it for, it may be ok, but for me, not at all

I'm with Roland. As you can see, on our website, I place code instead of just text for my options. This way the users can click to see a picture large before voting.

sometimes I mess up while pasting the code and leave out something that I have to fix.
Once I even click on edit poll, even if I don't make modifications and exit out without clicking save, the poll reverts and lets members vote more than 6.

Is there a way I can set it that members have to choose the number I allow?
I don't want members coming in to vote and only vote for say 1 or 2 pictures.
I want them to vote for 6, 1 in each category.

Any planned update or alternative addon for vb4?

This seems what I am looking for,
that is a way to make like a reservation system, where each user may select only one choice "for specific polls only".

Could you make it without manual "Template Edits" ?
