Hi. I don't understand why I can't select a different style poll? Can I, or can't I? I had planned on using the poll that was shown in the demo, that gave the bar results. That's the script I was looking for.

As for the repeat voting, before posting that it was doing this:

1.) I saw to put the code at the top of the page, before the <html> I did that. It's there.

2.) I'd changed the General settings to include "enabled" and "Logging on."

Now, this third part I just found:

"...(***NOTICE*** I've manged to get the IP logging working by just doing the next step here - General Settings... ect. and without the code at the top of the file). Next go to "General Settings" and down to "Miscellaneous" and then change the dropdown box next to check to IP table. This will check anyones IP, if its in the table they can't vote.

I don't see a "Miscellaneous" area in the General Settings area?

Okay, I got the answer to the colors here:

http://proxy2.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4331&highlight=bars+showing

If I may, from the angle of someone who did not create the script and from a novice in php standpoint: The reason it was overlooked is because I did not see any notation on that page for the option of bar graph colors. So, I had no idea that I needed to tell it what colors I wanted (which is a nice option, btw).

As for the cookie's problem: It seems to be working now. I'd read last week, about checking for spaces. I went back in and checked for any spaces. There were some (I had just copied and pasted it from the reply in this post). After I removed them, it still continued to have the problem. I checked it again, this AM, and it is working. So, perhaps, my server needed to kick in with the change between the time I corrected it, and this am.

I have a couple of other modifications I need to make. Won't know how that will go till I try it

Thanks.

So far, the other modifications have gone quite well.

I needed to change the table side, and was easily able to do that via the General Settings area. I did want to change the look of the "You've already voted." line. I easily did that with some html coding that I added right to the space in General settings, that allows for you to put what you want to say. Nifty feature (the fact that I can html code it right there, and not have to go digging into what php document is needed.)

I did want to change the size of the fonts in the survey, itself (and the results). That I did via the templates area. I changed them for both the survey, and the results template.

So, a minor recommendation would be to add to the general settings, the option to change the fonts size for the poll and the results page. It was easy enough to go into the templates and do it. Not being familiar with php, and the choices of the programmer, I had a little bit of trial and error. Nothing major, though. Was easy enough.

I did like being able to change and test the table side so easily. I could go back and forth easily; as opposed to doing it via the templates area.

So, just a thought, to add the size options in the General Settings area, should people want to change them from their default setting.

Thanks!
