As for the apostrphe thing, the only difference I see between the two is, SQLString does an HTMLEncode on the string before returning it, while the title just replaces the single apostrophe with 2 of them.
Does that just relate to SQL users? Since I only can test it on access I don't have a problem with it. But if it gives an error using SQL I can change it. Don't think I have had a ny SQL users test this yet. *shrugs*
Okay...let me explain.
You are right. By using title, in the current production version it will take care of the apostrophe.
However...
Well, I had modified the ChkString function in my inc_functions.asp file to make it similiar to a alpha release I downloaded. (I'm doing this where/when I can because I've already accepted that I've tweaked so much that I can't just apply the new version directly.) Anyways...in the recent Alpha, here's the code for title within the ChkString function:
Starting at Line 385:
if fField_Type = "title" then
if strAllowHTML <> "1" then
fString = HTMLEncode(fString)
end if
chkBadWords(fString)
chkString = fString
exit function
end if
The function will be exited before Line 519, where the apostrophe would have been taken care of:
fString = Replace(fString, "'", "''")
So....I don't know if you see it, but people who update/insert records and rely on apostrophe's to be taken care of with the "title" function will be in for a big surprise.

Ok, I see your point. Then for version 3.1 SR4, using the "title" is ok. Because the apostrophe is taken care of. But in the next release, use "SQLString", since the "title" doesn't take care of the apostrophe in the next release. Right? 
Well, I'll take note of that when I release this mod for the next release.
Thanks work_mule.

Yes you have it correct. 
That'll be interesting when you release the new version. You'll probably see a few "problems" come up related to the change to the ChkString function.
I recently posted about having problems with apostrophes in the Links Mod. Knowing what I posted here, it was only me having the problem because they were okay with the current version. Doh!

Excellent Mode !!! I love it.
Is it possible to allow only moderators/administrator to post new poll ?
As of now every registred user can do that.
Could you by any chance tell me what fields are being added and their default values ?

First create a poll, second go into your Admin Options. In the "Feature Configuration" set the "Featured Poll" option to "On". third, still in your admin options, click on the "Set Active Poll" link. It will show the polls that have been active in the past 30 days. Select one and submit it. You should see it on your front page.
I don't know what code you are reffering to for your topic.asp file. quote:

Well, you could place a check around the poll link. If the mLev = 3 or mLev = 4 then show the poll link, else show nothing. You would need to do it for both the forum.asp and topic.asp pages.quote:

If you look at the poll_dbsetup.dbs file, you will see what fields are created and thier default values.

This is what I posted in a previous post:quote:

It will show the polls that have been active in the past 30 days. Select one and submit it. You should see it on your front page.
Did you do all that?

Question:
If the poll was to show up in a pop-up window when a visitor leaves the site and on closing the window, he would be redirected to the whatever destination'url he was leaving to... (whitout further input from his part), would that be annoying to most?
I just thought that most would be compeled to vote (and register the destination url may be?)
Just a thought,

I love the mod but have some difficulty installing. As soon as I installed the mod, I wasn't able to see any topics. I could see replies. I restored my backup of my topic.asp and I'm fine again. Any ideas? Thanks!

saw a post earlier about having members only be able to post, and only once each. has anyone started this, finished this on this or other mod?
We want to let our members "vote" on things and everyone have 1 vote and non-members aren't able to vote. Suggestions? Point us in the right direction?
