Last night I implemented the Poll Mod 2.0.5 and after correcting a few errors I made when adding the changes to the files, I am still left with a curious display error that I presume is linked to topic.asp. I have since redone topic.asp "from scratch" (i.e. a backed up copy) and still the error is there. The image below shows you what I mean, and clicking on it will take you to a larger version so you can see *exactly* what I mean if this isn't clear enough.
As you should be able to see the message is strangely duplicated across two columns with the right column being correctly implimented while the left one seems to be just the message itself. Unfortunately, this problem seems to have infiltrated its way across my site and the first post on every topic thread appears to be like this, whether it is a poll or not.
Here is a link to a text version of my topic.asp if you feel you need to look at it: http://www21.brinkster.com/zencadet/topic.txt - The Poll MOD sections are still clearly marked out.
I also have the Avatar MOD installed which added some lines to topic.asp, also (I installed that one first), but no other MOD I've installed has modified this file as far as I can remember.
Oh, you star! I have spent a good part of the evening going over this code comparing it, trying to find the chunk of code I'd clearly left in, but to no avail. Thanks loads, it's working fine now.
Well, I'm the expert here. I know both the snitz code and the poll mod code. So when a problem arises I know where to look. So it doesn't take me more than 2 minutes to tell you the mistakes in your file.
Not to mention a lot of users who install the poll mod make the exact same mistake when adding the code. So I know what i was looking for.

I guess it's a mistake in the source files then in that it's not clearly commented that the mod code replaces the original. At least, that's what it looks like to my "non-expert" eyes.
