Here's a Poll Mod icon for users of my XP icon set:

Copy it over the original file and don't forget to edit your inc_iconfiles.asp and change this line:
Code:
Const strIconPoll = "icon_poll.gif|15|15"
to:
Code:
Const strIconPoll = "icon_poll.gif|24|24"

Hey Davio! I got the mod to work, and it's great!
I have a couple of questions. Could the vote also log the option, and the poll results show the usernames? I know this was brought up earlier last year, but are there plans to include or attach user names to their votes?

I ask because I'm trying to convert our club from the clunky, ad-ridden Yahoo site to our new forum. The polls over there were used extensively for guaging interest for events, and they were also used as sign up sheets. The polls simply showed the usernames next to the vote totals on the right, showing which members voted for which options.
It sounds simple enough, but after checking the db I noticed that the even though the members id gets saved to the db, their poll option doesn't. If I tried to create a table to log the option the user made, I could pass the option to that table when they vote, and then pull the usernames into the results page? Would that be a correct way to go?
It sounds crazy, but this is the big kicker for converting from the Yahoo groups since it's used so much... sad
Thanks for your time!

Not really. I have had problems to get it to work with the New Event Calendar mod. Now I want to try to install the poll module first (on a plain Snitz 3.4.03) and then install the calendar...
Basically poll was working (no error), but there was no link to add a new poll...
