Everyone knows how the latest posts go on the home page right?

With polls only threads, when someone votes, it gets resent to the top of the home page. I don't know if it does this with normal poll threads .

To me, it is rather pointless and frustrating for real debates to be squeezed off of the home page (which is basically my guide to headlines and the most important debates) by one person voting. I suggest that polls only threads don't get resent to the top of the home page with single votes, possibly every 10 votes, or never.

If this is a code problem, then I suppose I'll try to be happy or something...

Hi blingice.

You're right, the way that it is setup now is so that a vote in a poll bumps the topic to the top on the site index page. It works that way on the forum, too.

I've never really considered having a minimum number of votes for a poll to show up on the top ten. It is definitely possible, it would just take a bit of reworking for a couple of queries.

We're going to be upgrading in the relatively near future, and I will be rewriting most of the code that pulls that information. I can review it then to see what can be done.

In the mean time, though. I've got two things that can help.

First, I set it up so that polls are marked on the site index page as such. It should now say, "Poll: " before each topic with a poll.

Second, check the bottom right corner of the new posts window. There is a link called See more recent submissions. Clicking that link will expand the list from 10 topic to 100.

I hope that helps,

Mike

Thank you.
