I love this mod but I am clearly doing something wrong.

I also have everywhere sideblock mod and I followed all your instructions on what to do, thanks.

I think I am misunderstanding this part:
2. Enable the mod and enter threadid or forumid for fetching the poll.

Do I only type in threadid? When I do and save it just goes back to 0?

What am I suppose to type there?

Sorry, I know it is a stupid question.

You need to enter threadid if u want to fetch poll from particular poll..

if u want to fetch latest poll from a particular forum, then enter the forumid.


it goes back to zero, because you maybe typing threadtitle.

for ex:

http://x.com/x-forum/3463-x.html

3463 is a threadid

[wildheart]

Ok so I did everything right. Is it suppose to go back to zero after I typed threadid and saved?

[wildheart]

Wait a minute you mean the ID? I only learned that the forums actually had ID's a few hours ago. LOL. Sorry, I only started using vB on Saturday and I am Afrikaans spoken.

[wildheart]

Ok but I have several different numbers (Id's) where a poll can be, how do I add more than one Id?

This is how my forum is setup so far: http://reptile-parrots.com/forums/forum.php

I started a poll just to test this and added that forum's id and it is still not working.

Ya every thread has id and which is unique. Just open any thread in ur forum which has poll and see for number in a url.

For ex:

http://reptile-parrots.com/forums/showthread.php?42-Reptile-First-Aid-Emergancy-Kits

42 is a threadid. enter that in sidebar poll settings.

then see if that works.

If it doesn't work

then disable everywhere sidebar mod and then see if sidebar poll working.

[wildheart]

That means I have to search my whole board for where a poll is, or how would I put more than one Id in the forum part?

I did what you said and my test poll is now showing but with the wrong wording? Is it showing right or is it suppose to show the actual poll question and options?

I see that the colour in my top stats has now gone to grey where it was white? Plus right at the top is now a forum bar in white that never used to be there and the part under it used to be white and is now grey?

1. you can enter the forumid if u want to fetch latest poll automatically. (only 1 forumid)
2. you must have done something wrong, thats why colour is changed.
3. You change sidebar Poll Title from Forum Sideblock manager
4. you can uninstall the mod if u don't like it
