This is a test poll. Please choose one. ---

Why did you make it multiple choice and then say “Please choose one”? ---

I could see other people’s names just by clicking on View Poll Results, even though I haven’t voted yet. ---

That’s weird. I can’t. Did you try it after you voted? Also I have no idea why #2 is in a different font. ---

You can always see who voted for what on public polls, whether you vote or not. The poll option you choose turns into italics Leo; you didn’t vote for option #2 so it’s not in italics for you only. Option #1 is in italics for me. ---

Which button or what am I missing to see the usernames Oh. You have to press one of the vote number column items. That’s dumb and non intuitive. ---

More on what I see: I see the “view poll results + title” white on blue banner, but it’s dead to me. Like Krusty to his father. ---
