I am a bit of a novice and I am trying to implement your Advanced Poll.

I believe I have successfully upload all the required files to our web site and properly set the permissions.

I opended the admin page and, I think, successfully created a new poll (i.e., #4). The problem is, I can't seem to get it to be displayed. You can see what I mean if you go to the following page:

www.mstimesonline.com/section1/letters1.html

(I am just using this page to test the polling feature.)

Any suggestions or help would be truely appreciated.

Your .html page must be changed to .php for the PHP code to be parsed properly. Your server must also have PHP installed and running.

I also use NateMail on this (and other sites) so I am certain the server allows/supports php.

Is renaming the file with a different extension reqired? Is there any way around this?

I'm not sure if you can use .htaccess or another method to parse PHP code on an .html page, but just changing the file extension is by far the easiest way to resolve the issue.

You might try searching the Support forum for a solution; I remember reading a few tidbits about this very issue yesterday (while scouring the forum for an answer to my own problem ).

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
