It included a bunch of likely and unlikely things someone might have piloted/ridden/driven. The top choice was a bicycle, which was piloted by 96% of respondents. I remember this specifically because I was surprised that 4% of the board had never ridden a bicycle. Weird.
Today that number of non-bicyclers is 99%. Only 1% of respondents have ridden a bicycle. This is bullshit: Discourse lost the poll results. What’s going on?
To add more specifics, it’s telling me that the only response I entered in that poll was “rowboat”, but I know I also entered “bicycle” and “kite”.
And 2 of my answers in another poll, Which languages do you speak fluently? are gone. It’s telling me that I responded with just French, but I know that I also answered English and Spanish. Polls only: No discussion - #3173 by markn_1
Yeah, something went sideways with the polls. The recent monthly photo competition thread set-up by @TwoCarrotSnowman got messed-up and left us all scratching our heads. The poll is to vote for your favorite submitted photos, and you can pick three, but somewhere last week it seems everyone who voted got two of their votes deleted, so we tried to re-vote.
It was sorta odd that TwoCarrotSnowman was in the lead after the poll was messed-up. Nah, can’t be. Can it?
Well, it’s kind of an education process: the poll writer can easily make the poll private if they know to do so. It’s like right there when you create a poll, but a lot of folk won’t notice.
Apparently this was changed because people were asking for it on the Discourse
website, saying that most of their members want public polls as default (Weirdos !)
It seems there is a theme component which would allow this to be changed
(available from here)
I clicked on the “Install this theme component” button - and it asked for the
domain name of my Discourse site !
I did not continue just in case it let me do it !!!
But it looks like it could be changed. How do we petition the PTB ?
Awesome!
