When my forum is upgraded to 3.4.06 I will not be using the Poll Mod that was installed in 3.4.04
(I have another polling software that I wish to use.)

Two questions come up.
1) What happens to the existing polls?
They won't continue to show the poll results will they?

2) How do I remove the poll mod from the mysql database?

With the poll mod came a file named dbs_poll_uninstall.asp You should run that from the Admin Options. I would assume that this would remove all database entries related to the poll mod itself.

Out of curiousity, what poll software are you planning on using? You would then need to undo any changes made to all of the files that were modified when initially installing the poll mod.

These are the files that were modified:

active.asp
admin_forums.asp
admin_home.asp
config.asp
default.asp
forum.asp
inc_func_common.asp
inc_header.asp
inc_iconfile.asp
pop_config_help.asp
pop_delete.asp
pop_help.asp
post.asp
post_info.asp
search.asp
topic.asp

These are the poll mod files you could remove:

active_polls.asp
admin_poll.asp
dbs_poll_mod.asp
inc_poll.asp
poll_upgrade.asp
pop_poll.asp

Commercial polling: http://www.xigla.com/absolutepm/index.htm

Thank you. The dbs_poll_uninstall.asp file rings a bell.
I put together the "5-in-1 Snitz Expansion Pack" (available on Snitzbitz) and will be using that to do a simple 3.4.04 to 3.4.06 upgrade.

The Expansion Pack doesn't contain Davio's "Poll Mod" - which will leave loose ends in the database. It looks like I should run the dbs_poll_uninstall file first.

That Davio thinks of everything. . .
