I've been searching the messages for 40 minutes or so, but I can't find anybody who's also had this problem.
I followed all the directions as best I could, but when I try to creat a poll, I get the regular interface to create a new message, not a new poll.
Any ideas?
Thanks a million in advance!!
Erin

You're either missing the Poll Mod code from the post.asp page or your link to Add a New Poll is missing the poll=1& variable. Double check that you have made all the changes to each file.

If setup correctly, it will still look like a regular message posting, but there should be an additional link to 'add poll' and a little icon.

Thanks for the pointers, but something tells me that I must've made a mistake copying and pasting all those lines of code. I'll try it again, I guess.
My Add Poll link has the variable. Here's the beginning of the link:
http://www.testmagic.com/forum/post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=37&CAT_ID=18&
The rest didn't come out because IE won't display more than that.
I guess I'll try to re-add the lines of code.
Thanks!

Forum (v. 3.3.03) in question:
www.testmagic.com/forum/default.asp
Test page to see error:
http://www.testmagic.com/forum/post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=37&CAT_ID=18&
Okay, things seem to be working okay right now. I think I did something pretty dumb--it seems I left out a bunch of lines of code in post.asp. I don't know how that happened, but it did. I used the "file compare" function included with Norton Utilities to compare all the files in my site with those included in the .zip file and found this huge error.
So it works fine now, except for this display problem. The table extends beyond the page even though the inc_top.asp file has the table width set to 95%. And some cells are empty and appear black.
I assume I have some open table tr td tags, but I can't find any--none show up. I'm using Dreamweaver, and didn't see any bad code, and I did a search for <table and found 9; did a search for /table and again found 9.
I've been searching and reading various posts, i.e., about "black cells" and table problems, but I haven't found anything that applies to me. At least I don't think so!! 
Any pointers? I think if you have any ideas, I can take it from there.
Thanks in advance for all your wonderful help, as usual!
UPDATE
I had to delete the Poll code from post.asp; I noticed that even though the poll was appearing, the radio buttons were not. I'm not sure why, but I was able to vote once after creating the poll, but after that, the radio buttons disappeared. I at first that that was because I'd already voted, so I logged in as a different user; still no radio buttons.
I decided to restore from my backup of post.asp, so I've gotten rid of the tables problem.
I think at this point, I'm going to upgrade to 3.3.05 first, then install the poll MOD, since I want to upgrade anyway.
Of course, I'll post back with results.

More...
Davio, I was just reading the discussion on your board and it makes me think that the reason I can't see any radio buttons even though I've logged in as a different user is that my IP address is the same.
If so, then I was okay before, just needed to resolve the table problem.
Anyway, I'm going to the gym for a few hours and will work on it more when I get back!
Thanks!

If you have it set to allow Everyone to vote, then it will store a cookie on your computer to show that you voted. If you set it to Members Only, you can log out and log in as another use and still be able to vote. Because it stores which member votes in the database.
