a few suggestions about polls...


perhaps an option for email notification when someone votes on your poll but doesn't post a reply...

Sounds good. Except, what if your poll is exceptionally popular? Surely then your mailbox will just fill up with "X has voted" messages and then you'll want to turn off the option. Hmm, there's an idea, why not just have the option to be emailed as a tick box or radio button - that way, when you can't send email because your mailbox is over it's size limit you'll only have yourself to blame!

Since you can't see who voted there is also not much to respond too. I don't think the additional mails sent would justify the extra resources. Thanks for the feedback.
