I find it really difficult to find polls that are recent now that all the old polls go to the top of the page when they get a new vote and no new reply. Can't it go back to the way it was?

I agree Nessa, 2006 was a bad year...And it's very much alive again in the polls...

let's not dwell on the past

It really is driving me a bit batty too. Plus I don't like the ones where you CAN'T reply. Mostly because they drop off the first page pretty much right away, so if the OP doesn't bump them, they're gone and no one sees them. Secondly because I usually find I have to ask a question before answering the poll, so I end up not even voting. Don't like it one little bit.

I agree. No reply = annoying (and only something that would be used by someone on a power/control trip) And the resurrection of long-dead polls is really annoying.

Absolutely.

I think in order to vote you should have to reply.

Anything older than 6 mos should be locked and eventually deleted. We talk about so much chit here, if the old topic is gone, we can make a new one

It's confusing. I understand the desire to keep the non-response polls up the page, but adding a vote to any poll seems to bump it. Either turn that feature off for the response-allowed polls, or do away with the the non-response polls. There, I've said it.

Bravo!!

I think the vote = bump was a result of the "no replies allowed" change, not an addition to....

No it was actually a deliberate change. Some of us were saying that these would fall off the first page too quickly with no replies to bump it. I thought that he would be able to apply the new feature separately for the no-reply polls only. I hope he can. If not, then I agree that we should revert to the old way.

It applies to everything unfortunately.

ARGH! 2006 polls everywhere now!

Yeah. I was trying to refrain from commenting. I lost. lol

Tough battle, innit?

If there was a way to bump the polls but have a sign or something on the side, like those little icons that says new reply, instead of saying new reply say something like new vote and apply that for polls that have new votes but no new replies.
What really annoys me is not only them going to the top of the list, I can live with that, is them going to the top and have a new reply icon when there's only a new vote, then we have to open it to find out there is only one new vote when I'm not interested in seeing only new votes on a 2 years old poll. I'd be interested in opening it and reading a new reply, sometimes it's a funny or interesting reply.
So it would make our lives easier if we saw a new vote icon and had the choice not to evenm bother opening the poll and only open a poll that has the new reply icon, you know what I mean?

So what is the consensus on the change?

Votes no longer bump polls...

YAY!

Double YAY!

Triple YAY!

no i'm just joking, yay!

You are a generous and wise creature, Ewok.

nice, although, i didn't do it

Why don't you just ask Capt Ewok to bring back eight track tapes (the way it used to be)?

Fixed .

Truman: So what's the verdict?
Harry Stamper: They'll do it. They've made a few requests though.
Truman: Such as?
Harry Stamper: [riffles through sheets of paper] Well, there's uh, few things here, uh... nothin' really big, uh, just- Well, as an example, uh, uh, Oscar here, he's got some outstanding parking tickets. Wants them wiped off his record.
Oscar: [shouting from balcony] Fifty-six tickets in seven states-
Harry Stamper: [to Oscar] I'll-I'll tell 'em Oscar, you got it.
Oscar: Okay.
Harry Stamper: Uh, Noonan's got two women friends that he'd like to see made American citizens no questions asked. Max would like you to... bring back eight-track tapes. Not sure if that's gonna work, but, uh, let's see what else. Um, Chick wants a full week's Emperor's Package at Caesar's Palace. Um - hey, you guys wouldn't be able to tell us who actually killed Kennedy, would ya?
[pause, turns and shakes his head]
Harry Stamper: Um, Bear would like to stay at the...
[tries to read writing]
Harry Stamper: "White horse"?
[looks up at Bear]
Bear: White, *House*. White House.
Harry Stamper: White House. Yeah, he'd like to stay in the Lincoln bedroom of the White House for the summer. Stuff like that.
Truman: Sure, I think we can, uh, take care of... some of that.
Rockhound: [shouting from balcony] Harry!
Harry Stamper: [motions back at Rockhound] Yeah one more thing, um... none of them wanna pay taxes again.
[pauses]
Harry Stamper: Ever.


So, as you can see, we already had an attempt to bring back 8 track tapes last time Bruce Willis saved the world.

yay!!

Hehehehe... Mags, I love Armageddon. You rock!
