Seeing poll voters' usernames

**Jenna** · 09-01-06, 08:15 PM

Would it be possible to make visible the usernames of those who voted for each option in a non-anonymous poll even after the poll drops off the forum front page?

As it currently stands, polls that enable the "make usernames of those who voted visible" feature (such as the "how did you find this forum" poll I posted recently http://www.lawenforcementforums.com/...ead.php?t=8180) only have that option enabled while the poll is on the forum front page (viewable by clicking "view poll results"); after the poll is no longer on the front page, there is no longer a way to see who voted for which option.

I love the poll feature, by the way. In case you couldn't tell.

Thanks to everyone who voted in my polls.

When you're in the poll thread you can always click on the number and see who voted for that option. You just can't view all of them at the same time... regardless, you can still view who voted for what.

D'oh! I didn't know about clicking on the number. Thanks for the tip, Katiemh. You rock. That's all.

I never knew you could do that either - Now I gotta find all the old polls and see who voted for what.

Well, Katie, it didn't work in the poll:
Most Important LEF Poll EVER!!!!!!! What kind of underwear do you wear?

I wanted to see which three of you guys (or hopefully gals) wears "Granny Panties", whatever that is

Clicking on the number will only reveal the usernames of voters in polls designed to be non-anonymous from the outset. Terminator discreetly designed his underwear poll as a secret ballot.

Yeah, when someone starts a thread with a poll, during the poll setup they have the option of making it a public or anonymous poll. Generally people do anonymous so that they're more likely to get everyone to answer. If people know their vote is going to be shown, they might not vote.

I always check before I vote if it's public or private. Generally on the public ones there's a little warning or something that says your vote will be public. I can't remember the exact verbage, but it's there.
