Jupper, I would be more specific but my server is currently going through some maintenance, but here is what I remember from what I can recall.

Firstly, you will need to get into your phpmyadmin to view your raw SQL tables.

Within your tables, the specific one you should be looking for is called vote_ip or something along those lines. From there, you can view the poll number (if this is the most recent poll then it will be the highest poll number) and then I believe the IP addresses themselves are actually md5 hashed, but the great thing about md5 is that if there are multiple IP's that have voted on the same poll, then you should easily be able to tell because the md5 hash will be the same. So look for the same hashed IP addresses.

With a little more sleuthing you should be able to find out who the culprit is and how many votes you need to remove from the poll (which by the way can also be done from your raw SQL tables with I think "phpbb_vote_results" or something like that.)

When my server is back up and running I'll try to correct those table names.

I hope you can explain it to me becaurse i only can find the following 3 files in mysqltable with the name vote within

phpbb_vote_desc 29 MyISAM latin1_swedish_ci 5,0 KB -
phpbb_vote_results 116 MyISAM latin1_swedish_ci 9,0 KB -
phpbb_vote_voters 409 MyISAM latin1_swedish_ci 35,0 KB -

in phpbb-Vote_voters when i go to the highest number is see:

vote_id vote_user_id vote_user_ip
35 387 5591c65f


So that must be the guy how made the last vote but i can not see the ip number but i think the tick is user id 387 must be the joker?
correct me if i am wrong


vote id of the last poll is 35


35 253 503d352a
35 2 3ec25958
35 18 5355c930
35 25 d47fa88f
35 13 559290ba
35 387 5591c65f

txs for the help

no problem. Yes that is correct, what you have in bold is the user ID number of the user you're talking about.

Looks like I was pretty close on the tables at least. Glad to see you found what you're looking for <img>

I don't really get the question... You want to know how to find which poll's results you are watching but linking them to the thread id, correct?

In the vote_desc table, you will find the following info :
vote_id - the id of the poll, which allows you to link it with the votes in the other 2 tables
topic_id - the topic_id where the poll is taking place

This should give you all needed information...

As I said above, in the vote_desc table, you will find on each row the id of the poll AND the id of the topic.

You can either search the topic table to find information on the corresponding topic_id.

Or you can just check the question of the poll, which is also mentioned in the vote_desc table.
