A new type of poll!

Adam · 05-11-2007, 11:23 PM

Hi guys,

After several requests, I've finally managed to add a new poll type to the site: a multiple-choice poll with a limited number of selectable options. For example, you would only be allowed to select 3 out of the 8 poll options. Previously, we could only have single-choice polls or unconstrained multiple-choice polls, so I hope that the new type will make future voting (especially for the photo contests) easier!

I've added a sample poll to this thread so that you can check the system out!

Enjoy

Good deal Adam, You do a fantastic job. It has always been worth the money donated to see the site grow the way it has.

This would mean when we vote during the monthly challege, all three images choosen by a voter would get the same vote with no abilility to choose 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Am I correct? Not a totally hateful concept but if I had a strong preference I would probably only give 1 vote to provided that image a bigger boost.

Great idea, there were so many good bird pictures that it was really hard to choose. I think this will be an improvement. Thanks Mo

What? No black?

Green, because it's purdy.

Orange, because it's the the color from my alma mater and only communists like red.

Hi Mo. This current colour set up is fantastic. Really pleasant to the eyes.

p.s. the order of these options are quite biased though ... Obviously your favorite colours or perceived better colour choices were placed at the earlier options ...

You almost caught me off-guard there

First come the primary colors of light, then the secondary colors.
