in the admin panel set that poll to inactive or complete or something along
those lines or set an expire time in the past and then you can call it and it
will just show the results. Have a look at the demo polls and see what
code they use to just display the results.
the length of time that the cookie is set for can be changed in one
of the files, its near the top, i can't remember which one so you'll
have to look thru all of them.
if you included a file called cookie.php then that's your porblem.
since when you vote it sets a cookie saying you've and the expiry time
on the cookie is 96 hours or so from when you vote. So for things to run
smoothly whatever you set the lockout time in the gen. settings I would
open cookie.php and change that to 2 hours also.
The server time offset just means if your 2 hours ahead of the server
you can set it to +2 hours so it shows you your time instead of 2 hours behind you time.
path to poll img dir. is wrong, try lots of different combination and paths
until they show up. Should be the same as the poll dir box but with /img
or is it /imgs on the end.
