Setting up a poll

I'll see what I can do. How about something like SurveyMonkey? There is also PoLL CODE. If you use a off site poll host, you can post that poll all over the place, in emails, on your site, on here, on other forums in your e-magazine, anywhere and still get the results all in 1. I'll see what I can do with the guest voting on here. Why can't they just join? LOL

I'm going through the settings right now. Since we won't be doing a Cox Engine of the month poll for at least 2 weeks, it should be fine (I only want members to vote on the engine of the month).

How long are you going to be holding this poll?

Okay, Bernie. Guests can now vote. Just let me know when you are done with the poll so I can change the setting back.

Are we voting on the next limited edition engine?

Well, LOL. Put a red zero drag plate on the red and black engine in the upper right corner and call it the CEF Special LOL. All these limited edition engines you are coming up with is really making it hard to redesign a engine as the CEF Special LOL. So far, I have reverted the colors back to the red and black (almost looks exactly like the one in the upper right corner) and have yet to change anything else. The thrust washer on the engine in the design that I sent you is not a crankshaft spacer, it is a thrust washer (like used on the Venom and Killer Bee).

Also, when you advertise the poll, let people know that they do not have to login to vote. If they are not logged in, a login pop up appears on the screen that can simply be clicked off.

Since the poll is not tied to membership, do you still have IP recognition software running that would preclude multiple votes from the same Internet connection?

I would need to check on that, maybe even test it.

Okay, as you may have seen I ran a test of my own as it didn't exactly say if it was IP protected or not. It seems to be IP protected ALTHOUGH if a member were to logout, they could vote again. Same goes if someone were to create an account and login, they would be able to vote again. I'll see if there is anything else that I can do or set up with it. Also, create the poll in the General Questions (Guest Posting Allowed) section as all the set permissions allow it to be done already.

If someone is already a member, they can vote and then logout and vote again as a guest. Same goes if someone were to vote as a guest and then join and vote again once they are a member. LOL, why are we talking about this, giving people ideas LOL

Yeah not a big deal. LOL 100 per person!
