Problems with Adv Poll 2.0.2  XML

Hello all,

I manage a website on the warcry gaming network, and I recently discovered that the poll I have up on my site is working fine except for one thing: users are able to vote on a poll more than once.

I am assuming this has something to do with the db not storing voter's IP addresses, but I'm not sure where to look to get started in fixing this issue (I am a good manager, but when it comes to coding, I am a fledgling *smile*).

If someone could help point me in the right direction, that would be fantabulous.

Thanks in advance!

Don't know if this is much help for you but I know the txtfile version does not use ip logging to track if someone has voted. It probably uses cookies. Maybe it is the same for the DB version, make sure you have cookies enabled.

you can use either on the txtfie version on db verison.
If your using the ip table (under gen. settings) you have to make sure
poll logging is on i think (logging is a per poll thing, select poll, change option in the top right - after poll question.)
If you using ip table don't include cookie poll unless the locking timeout (under gen. settings) is the same length of time as the cookie (can be changed in poll_cookie.php).
