Hi,
I have a new poll out on my site... here's the topic of it:
http://www.vigilantweather.com/viewtopic.php?p=108 Why can't I, or anyone else, vote!?
This is what it looks like for me, when logged in:
[flash=,:1m44v7ew]http://www.vigilantweather.com/poll.bmp[/flash:1m44v7ew]
Please let me know how to fix this or why, as soon as you can, as this is quite urgent.
Thanks in advance. <img>

I've seen this question before, but haven't seen a solution posted yet. I just realized that my site is experiencing the same thing.

There was/is a fix to this issue on im.com but that's sadly inaccessible right now. What files are associated with that you think?

Ahh, I know... that has been my source, this forum is much smaller in terms of posts. I honestly could not tell you, maybe poll things? Another poll of mine is fine!!

Oh yeah, a workaround until a fix is posted is to simply edit the poll, don't change anything, and submit changes.
I found a Poll Fix folder on my home computer that has a posting.php and an includes/functions_post.php files. They are from March 3, 2006 but I don't remember exactly how I got the files. I applied changes to my forum on March 6, 2006. I THINK I just applied code changes to the my original files and that was that.
If you are willing to try (making a backup of the two files first!!!), here is a link to my two files plus a quick install.txt instructions. I do not have any poll issues but I used to before applying 'the fix' that I can only assume is still in my files. I may be smoking something but here's a link to a zip anyway...
