Re: Photo Contests

Not a problem, but it might be late when I add it. I Will post here once the poll is added.

Update. Well it seems it is a problem. It seems I am only able to add a poll with 10 selections, but we have 15 entries. I am looking into if it is possible to increase the number of selections. I have a couple of ideas, but If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

Jason

Re: Photo Contests

Just post two threads with polls, whichever has the most votes, wins!

Re: Photo Contests

Not really a solution, though. Two threads, two votes, two winners.

Public poll? Each voter posts his/her choice. Or does somebody feel like looking up / making a poll service that allows for more than 10 entries?

Can't be arsed to refresh my own limited php skills.

Re: Photo Contests

Let's go with two poll threads. Everybody is only able to cast one vote, though. Cheaters will be sucked through their computer screens and pummeled. If there's a tie, we'll have a vote-off. May the best T. ordinoides win .

Maybe there will be a better solution for next month?

Re: Photo Contests

Two polls, two votes. Then we just pick the top 2 or 3 or 5 and have a third poll? Would prevent cheating, even if it is a bit more complex.

Re: Photo Contests

But does Free Web Polls allow 15 or more options?
And I didn't really think of the two vote thing. Only members can vote, right? I don't think there are any cheaters on here (Not yet that is)

I would prefer to avoid pop-ups on the site. Thanks for the suggestion thou. Hopefully I will be able to figure something out.

Re: Photo Contests

Hey Jason, the polls look really great! Very nice how you've got a preview of each pic set up so we can remember who exactly we wanted to vote on in the first place.
