First of all I want to thank everybody maintaining this forum, especially Auron, also to whoever made this great little "program" and distributed it for free .
Second, I've had tons of questions, most of them already answered by Auron or Carbonize to other people, there's just a little thing left, here's the fact: I have this 5 polls on the same page - for every working day of the week -, I want votes based on days, I figure out how to "disable" poll from a past day (with the expiration option) but I can't disable the upcoming polls, let's say it's Tuesday, I don't want people to vote on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday polls (which I also don't want to take out or hide). Any ideas how to make the "disable" option to work? Thanks a lot.

I've heard from some1 that the disable option in the admin panel is not working right now.
The expiration of a poll which you can set in the admin panel is in days if I remember correctly.

The poll will expire after that many days have past after it was created. Well that's how I think it works.

Well, I figure it out how to work with it. If you set the expiration time for a poll to 0 days and uncheck the "never" checkbox, the poll will freeze, disable, you can see the scores but the Vote is not available anymore. And if you want it back, just check "never" and, voala, you have it. And this is just for other people who would like to use the enable / disable option.
Also, another thing I saw somebody was asking but got no answer, yes, it's possible to get different colors and table title (without messing up with poll's files) in about 2 minutes. Here is the proof:

I forgot about the never check box.

Glad you got it all sorted now : )
