Thanks, Carbonize. I am going to try this when I get the time.

I also noticed that people are searching for "ffa" just so they can add their links. They don't even bother to visit your other pages. In an effort to limit the free links pages to actual site visitors, I got rid of the ffa- at the beginning of the pages, and it has helped considerably. So now, the file that used to be named ffa-business.html is just business.htm. Also added robots meta tag, "noindex,nofollow". . . or should it be "noindex,follow"?

Renamed "addlink.html" and added a form they can submit if they wish to delete a link.

I think because you voted it shows the results to keep you from voting again. Read Auron's instructions about cookies and IP checking. I think you are only supposed to use one or the other. Also maybe delete your browser's cookies.

This might have something to do with the fact that some IPs change. My IP is different every time I get on the net.

I think Auron explains all this stuff in his instructions.

Some days are better than others!

You should probably post the links to the polls for a good answer.

Are you sure the poll codes are correct on the pages?

Have you set the path in Admin panel?

Not sure, but it looks like this is a template design. I think you would have to create a template which includes 7 html files. Maybe I will try something like this.

Email is not used. The poll script has two versions - textfile and database.

If you are using the textfile version, the comments are stored in a text file on your server. If you are using the database version, the comments are stored in a table in the database.

Here is a post that shows how to show the comments under the poll:

I think Lazarus is very easy to use. Have installed it in 8 sites, and everybody loves it. We especially like the fact that you can click on one link and ban the IP and delete the post at the same time. It also has some other nice features.

Good help is available in the forum. I will install it for lost people, as long as their website is not offensive.

I just noticed while looking at the photo that the "save as file" box was not checked. Maybe that's the issue. That box needs to be checked before you click on "go."

That message is standard - not to worry.

Well, let me know if you would like me to try and save it for you - requires login info. Carbonize may help if you ask.

Many of us have moved up to Lazarus Guestbook.

This is shown in Demo3:

The sample code is on the left. Customize it to fit your site.

Also, here is a post with an example:

See Demos 2 and 4:

http://proxy2.de/poll/demo_2.php
http://proxy2.de/poll/demo_4.php

The code used for comments is shown on the left. Customize it to fit your site:

/* path */
$poll_path = "/www/proxy2/html/poll";

require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
require $poll_path."/include/class_pollcomment.php";
$CLASS["db"] = new polldb_sql;
$CLASS["db"]->connect();

$php_poll = new pollcomment();

/* question */
echo $php_poll->get_poll_question(2);

/* poll */
$php_poll->set_template_set("plain");
$php_poll->set_max_bar_length(125);
$php_poll->set_max_bar_height(10);
echo $php_poll->poll_process(2);

/* construct the form */
$php_poll->set_template("poll_form");
$php_poll->set_form_error(array(
    "name" => "Please enter your name.",
// "email" => "You must specify your e-mail address.",
    "message" => "You must specify a message."
));
$html_form = $php_poll->comment_process(2);

/* poll comments */
$php_poll->set_template("poll_comment");
$php_poll->set_comments_per_page(5);
$php_poll->set_date_format("d/m/Y H:i");
$php_poll->data_order_by("time","desc");
echo $php_poll->view_poll_comments(1);
echo $php_poll->get_comment_pages(1);

I am not sure what you mean by "make loop" with three columns. Perhaps you mean you want three columns on a page with a poll in each column? something like what is on the demo page at http://proxy2.de/poll/index.php

With Advanced Poll, you just add the poll code where you want it to appear on the page. So, your columns are actually set up in your web page's html, not in the poll program.
