Poll not coming out right
« on: February 01, 2012, 01:20:48 PM »
I'm considering doing a redux of this poll, but on my browser the votes do not line up with the options.  In fact, in wide screen, the votes form 2 columns independent of the categories

I believe this is the first time I have looked at it since we changed to the new BB code.

Don't quite know what to tell you. I wouldn't be shocked if the makers of the code had no expectation of a forum poll that had THAT many options on it... :)

The 2 column thing happens for anything over 1 option for a resolution wide enough for 2 columns, and for a lower resolution, an option with a description that takes up 2 lines causes the votes not to line up either.

This puter requires that I use an old verison of IE, so that could be the source of the problem... unless you have it too.

I didn't see a link to the results, just to the poll options. Will look again.

Yeah, may be your browser. Certainly looks fine to me on Chrome.

I can't see the results, perhaps because I didn't vote?

Good, thanks. I thought something was wrong with the poll, but I didn't want to vote just to test if the results were available on Chrome.
