Test

I set up this poll to test out. I didn’t want to see the results that were in process so that worked but I did allow editing until closing but can’t?

Personally I would be fine if bookmarks auto-updated.

Okay, a few more things in response to suggestions upthread or on the other one:

  • Pagination data on the links

  • [Esc] takes focus off of the editor

  • The main menu is now the only ‘sticky’ bit, not the site name / board name / thread title. I don’t think there was a good reason there, so thanks for the feedback, as it seems all upside

Not sure I follow, but I think we’re maybe mixing up a couple of concepts:

  • That there’s an option to edit the poll options for a period before voting starts

  • And, that users can change their votes when the poll is running—which is what you have set

it’s not really practical/workable to allow editing of poll options while the poll is running, because you’d be potentially:

  • Deleting people’s votes

  • Adding options they might have voted for if they’d seen them

  • Editing the meaning of something they did vote for, that might change their vote

  • etc.
