Just have responces like 'really strongly agree', 'kind of strongly agree', 'sort of strongly agree', 'strongly agree', 'somewhat strongly agree' - you get the idea.

Yep, I've had a rating question type on my feature list since I first planned our major site upgrade. It just didn't make it into the initial cut, and I have yet to work my way back to it. I am close to finishing a notification system, though, where you can opt to receive an email notice when somebody votes in your polls, posts in your forums, or in your favorite ones, even if they aren't yours. Hopefully I'll finish that up in next few weeks.

On my poll "Do you always tell the truth in polls?", in the second Question "why do you lie?", the percentages add up to 111%. three choices, with three votes each, each percentage SHOULD read 33%, but they read 37%. Weird, huh?

It seems odd at first, but that question is multi-select, meaning that a voter can choose more than one choice. So in those types of questions, the percentage shown on each choice represents what percentage of the voters selected that choice. They may also have selected others. So, in these cases, the percentages can add to more than 100%.

For example, if every voter had selected all three choices, each choice would show 100%. In your case, you had 8 voters. Each choice was selected by 3 of those voters. So, each choice shows that 37% (3 out of 8) of the voters selected it.

Make sense?
