Poll: Summer meals!

Marjo — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 15:59:07 GMT

Hi guys, I hope your week is going well!

I'm hoping you can help me with something. I'm trying out some ideas with polls for the community. Below you can see the first one asking about summer meals.

Please do fill in the poll if you get a moment (it's super quick!) and let me know in the comments if you have any feedback or ideas, or if you'd like to expand on the answer that you picked.

I've tried to make the poll visible also on mobile, let me know if you come across any issues when using it though.

I'll publish the poll results next week!

Update 13 June: this poll is closed! Thanks for taking part. You can read about the results here.

Hi @Marjo this is a great poll to get everyone involved...

I submit my answer in Other - How? ... From my desk top, all good with the return message page...

Keep it up, we all need this...!

Cheers for helping to test it out @Cleoriff, @gmarkj, @Tsidkenu1es. I look forward to seeing the results later and also interested to see what you're putting in the "Other" option!

What option do you think will "win" by the way?

@Marjo I think it will be your one...! or the one at the Barbecue...!

Depends on age and level of activity I suspect @Marjo

I hope that the raising a poll is a function only to a restricted group ie Community Managers? Some of remember the numerous and pointless polls raised before they got removed as a function of the (Lithium based) forum for sanity sake.

Interestingly enough (or not...) coming back to this page today allows me to vote again.
Is this because it is a new day/login, or something else?

Edit: Actually, just refreshing the page allows me to cast another vote. Maybe something that needs to be reviewed @Marjo or monitored for misuse?

Yes.. same here @gmarkj. Something is definitely wrong with that. I voted yesterday via PC...tried again using PC AND Mobile just now and could vote again.

Basically, if it was a competition poll, I could easily win that 'holiday home' on offer

Marjo — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 08:54:22 GMT

Yes, you can vote again, I left out the restrictions for this first one.

I don't remember the platform polls function being open to everyone - was that before my time here perhaps? I can imagine there might have been a lot of interesting ones!

Re: Poll: Summer meals!

Cleoriff — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 08:55:59 GMT

It must have been before my time as well @Marjo. I started here in 2013 and can't remember any poll type activities?

I see, well the platform poll function that I'm also keen to try out at some point is only available for Community Managers at the moment to start polls with. I think you were interested to hear if that's the case now @sheepdog?

Good to know @Marjo that you can vote again. I thought I was going nuts

Interested to see what wins.

I can already see in the back-end which option is so far the most popular! I wasn't expecting that one.
