A Idea to add to the forums by Nathan on 07-19-2005 at 06:16 PM

Hiya,
I thought of an idea (Uh Oh I know :P) For the forums.
Well how about this:
When you add a poll you add an extra options which says voter's choice.
So basically you have an option in a poll were you can add your own choice.
Sorry if it's not explained very well.
EDIT: A Poll To show what i mean...

so we (the other people ) can vote for new poll items =/ , sounds dodgy and crazy to me.

Well sort off but just sort of add you own idea. I suppose it's editing in a way.
But you'd have restrictions. Like : You can't put more than 1 choice on :)

(Y) I like it, it's not impossible. I remember a forum board that had this option.

Sorry, I remembered something: in that board, it didn't show to everyone. It just got saved for the pollmaker to see. :tongue:

But I think we'd have to wait for WDZ's remake of MyBB Gold? :p

I know what you mean lol, you mean like an Other : <write it down>

Doubt this will be done, because if it was a busy poll, the results would be huge with everyones independant views


RE: A Idea to add to the forums by saralk on 07-19-2005 at 06:35 PM

so basically, a text box where you can put your own views in?

If only we could start replying to these views. And wait a sec, what if we could put images and formatting into these views, and we could call them "replies"

oh wait.

Ok then seeing as know one likes the idea here's my other one...
Why dont we have the option to be able to have a poll after we have already made a thread instead of having to make a whole new thread ?


RE: A Idea to add to the forums by mwe99 on 07-19-2005 at 07:02 PM

It's an okay idea, but then if you might get other users posting stupid polls in your thread and it has to be posted first.

However Idea :

You could create a poll in the Poll Centre, then link to the thread

the idea is way too complicated to to add something of which the usefulnes is questionable


RE: A Idea to add to the forums by mwe99 on 07-19-2005 at 07:13 PM

Well if you're in the middle of a thread and decide you want a poll... go to the Poll Centre... create one ... then copy the link and ask people to view it...

They then go to your poll in the centre and can reply in the thread you made

Poll center

So.. if you made a thread before.. you just made a Poll there.. and a link back to the original thread.. then you dont have to make that thread again with poll options 8-)

Yeah, i think that is a better, more practical idea than adding an entire new feature

Well its not that - its gonna look impractical for a poll in the middle of a thread
