In a Public Poll in these forums you can see what others have voted correct?

Why,as soon as i vote,do these other peoples names dissapear? It becomes a private poll,with just the actually number of votes collected and the choices. I wanna see the names still!

So everyone else can see who voted for what, even after they have voted? I'm guessing so,seeing as noone has replied :P

I think the poll creator decides whether you can see how people voted or decide to keep the information private. I've only created one poll, so I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure this is how it works. :)

Thats kinda right lol.

When the poll creator erm,creates the poll, they do get the option to make it public or private. When its public and you view the poll results BEFORE you vote,you can see what other people have voted for. Once you vote, you can no longer see what everyone else has voted for,including your own vote. That to me is daft and renders public polls usless lol.
