I haven't posted release notes in awhile, mainly because I'm not sure anybody actually cares about them. There are a couple of important updates tonight though, so I thought it would be worthwhile to post them:
Paged Search Results
Yes, you can now dig beyond the first 50 search results. This has been requested ever since the new site launched, and here it is! Just in time for... er... Mother's Day!
Closed / already-voted-in polls no longer a dead end
Before now, visiting a poll that you had already voted in or a poll that had closed would leave you stranded. You couldn't reach the results page or the message area unless you had saved the URL somewhere. Now, those links are still present when the error message is shown, so you can keep coming back to check the results and look for new messages.
Hooray!
As of tonight, this problem has been fixed! You can still get to the poll results and message area, even if you've already voted. The same goes for closed polls.
As of tonight, this problem has been fixed! If you have already voted in a poll, you will be told when you visit the poll rather than when you try to submit your vote. You can still get to the poll results or message area.
Hi Paikea,
Sorry, no, there is not currently a way to delete somebody's vote. I could see where this might be useful on occasion, but I think it would be tough to come up with a straightforward interface for that which would not confuse your average web surfer. If you like, I can delete it behind the scenes for you. Email me directly at misterpoll@misterpoll.com with a link to your poll and details about what vote you want removed.
Yes indeed, they do. The downloaded results will include everything, including blanks, essays, etc.
I hope that helps!
Thanks for the ideas! I am thinking through some radical changes to our current rating / review system, and an age rating is currently in the mix. I hadn't thought of gender-targeting, but that's a good idea. Whatever the final outcome, icons to represent various poll attributes is a good thought. I'll try to incorporate some icon indicators.
