Re: polls
Would it be more simple or more difficult to permit a member to vote again but have the system accept only the most recent vote--as a form of 'edit' (for those rare occasions when one changes one's mind  )? |

Geneva, IL | To implement that, the site would have to keep a record of how everybody voted. Most people won't like the privacy implications of that.

And I know the site doesn't already keep such a record because... how?
(I'm not convinced there's any more of a "privacy factor" involved with voting in a poll here than with the usual thread posting, but to each his/her own.) |

| True. Depending on the method used now, it could be either really easy or somewhat involved to add such a feature... but, that's the fun of programming--adding useful features (not that I'm saying such a feature would be all that useful, beyond giving some coder something potentially fun to do ). |
