Poll added ok but not functioning properly
Feb 14 2007, 12:56 AM EST | Post edited: Feb 14 2007, 12:56 AM EST
I added a poll to my website pluhm.wetpaint.com just fine and I casted a vote to try it out. It worked fine that first time, but now I only see the poll results. I can't get back to the poll question, whether I'm signed in as the author, signed out, or signed in as someone else. I only see the results. How can I get it back to the question so other guests can cast their vote? Please help, thanks. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I'd go ahead and delete it from your Wetpaint page, go back to Vizu and get the embed code again. Try reposting it and if there's still a problem let us know. Do you find this valuable?

Hi,
I deleted the poll then added it again and just got the results; not even the question again. I then created a second poll and added it to my website. Same thing happened - I could cast a vote the first time, but after that I only got the results. I can't get back to the questions. I've gone to other websites and some of them appear to have the same problem. Does it work when wetpaint tries to do my poll?

Again, the website is pluhm.wetpaint.com, please tell me what's going on. Do you find this valuable?

It sounds like it's working as it's supposed to. Once you vote, it counts it and shows the results. It doesn't show you the questions again because you've already voted. However, a new visitor to the site will see the questions. If you click on the "change vote" link at the bottom of the poll it will let you recast your vote if you want.

Thank you. Guess I'm new to this and don't know how the polls work. Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm really impressed. You've got a great site!

So I need to get somebody else to check my poll, after I vote? would the poll read another PVC on my server as a different ? or would it work to have another WP account just to check how my polls are really working? I love making them about anything. Do you find this valuable?

Please refer to Vizu for all the gory details on how Vizu polls work. I'm sure they explain it much better than we ever could.
