Just a quick though about veiwing results.

I'm new here, so sorry if this has been suggested, is being worked on, and already exists.

I was just thinking, when viewing results you should be able to narrow it down. For example, a lot pf people start off their polls asking about your gender. It'd be cool if i could view all the results from the males(ect.).

Maybe have a "Don't show results from people who voted this" button, or a "Only show results from people who voted this" button. I think the first one would make more sence.

Well that's my thought, its great site, lots of fun.

Welcome, skeddles! You can't filter the results interactively as you view them, but if you download the results, you can filter them using a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or even Google Spreadsheets. As long as you are logged into your account, you should see a "download the results" link when you view the results of one of your polls. That link will let you download a file which you can then load into a spreadsheet. There is also some help available that describes the various columns and talks about basic filtering within Excel:

I have thought about adding some sort of interactive filtering on our web site, but there are a number of more important features in line ahead of that. In the meantime, you should be able to accomplish the same things by downloading the results.
