Polls

Is there any way that you can vote in a poll, and it returns you to the page you were previously viewing, rather than going back to the first page. Minor issue I know, but sometimes I like to read opinions in the thread and the extra information about the issue at hand before voting, and then it goes back to the start. Just a little frustrating (yes, I am fussy).

Continuing the fussiness theme on polls, is there a way to make the default option for polls set to public and if people choose they can make it private?

Agree wholeheartedly on the 2nd part.

Agree, hate polls that are private.

I believe it is possible to do the latter, not sure on the former. Nor am I sure on exactly how you'd do the latter, but I've seen something similar done at EoFF... will get back on it.

EDIT: James, the bit to do with auto-public polls can be done by going into the template pm_newpm and searching for "make_votes_public". Then change this line of code...

				<div><label for="cb_public"><input type="checkbox" name="public" value="1" id="cb_public" tabindex="1" $checked[public] />$vbphrase[make_votes_public]</label></div>

to...

				<div><label for="cb_public"><input type="checkbox" name="public" value="1" id="cb_public" tabindex="1" checked />$vbphrase[make_votes_public]</label></div>

Basically you just change $checked[public] to checked. Tested it at EoFF and works fine.

Polls are for public opinion not private.

The results are certainly public opinion. In certain cases it's necessary to vote without revealing your result.
