LoL, ok. You can probably send me the file and I'll take a look at it. Or post a link to a txt version of the file.
No problem. I'm glad to help.

I tried to post the detailed instructions yesterday but Snitz acted up and my post never made it. :-(
My original code was modified heavily, so I can't give exact instructions for standard release, but here's the basic idea (it's rather simple):
1. copy the featured poll code from default.asp
2. create a new blank page (but with all the included files), paste it into there
3. create an SQL statement that creates a recordset with all the threads that are polls
4. Then go like this:
<table>
do while not rs.EOF
<tr>
<td>
code for featured poll
</td>
</tr>
rs.movenext
loop
</table>
---
So in essence it just runs the featured poll code for every poll there is. I know this isn't detailed, but the best I can do at this point in time.

It is commented with '####### Poll Mod ####### around the code I added.
Davio: I'd like to speak to you about this again, this did not work for me. maybe I am not relaying correctly what I am trying to do..

Iron Heart: please stick around on this subject, I have a couple of questions. Even though your source code is heavily modified, may I examine it? I am running into a couple of snags that I could probably figure out by looking at your code instead of bugging you. Thanks...

click on the active polls link and you will see my link levels are not correct.

The first line of the code I added for you looks like this:if InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("Path_Info"), "poll.asp") > 0 thenChange the poll.asp to active_polls.asp and see if that doesn't work. It is basically checking the reffer url to see if it contains "poll.asp". But the reffer is active_poll.asp not poll.asp.

yeah, I caught that too and had fixed it for the correct file name but that did not do it...

Thanks for all your help Iron Heart, I really appreciate all the help you gave me with the All Polls script. Here is the finished product:

Davio: I appreciate everything you have been doing for me too, just that last little quirk and I can bother someone else shortly on another idea I have

Good to see it works for you. Might be a good idea to release it as a MOD. Your code, the one you showed. Is it based on standard snitz release? i.e., can anyone take it any use - will it work?
