* If anyone has any more ideas, thoughts or questions about these polls, feel free to post it all here ... thanks.

* I have been thinking about this idea for awhile now, and I decided to go ahead and give it a try, and see how it goes.
* I'm putting up a Poll / Survey (simple questions and answers) on top of Turk Forums for Entertainment Purposes only.

* Simple questions will be asked followed by simple answers to choose from, then you can watch the on going results.
* These Poll questions will be about anything, not just phone stuff, and it's for everyone to enjoy, members and guests.

* There will be a Poll question asked about once a week, and I would like for Forum Members to participate if they'd like.
* So, if you would like to participate, just send me a (PM) message with the simple poll question and 2-4 simple answers.

* Don't worry, all posted polls will be anonymous, I will not say who's poll it is that is put up for that week, fair enough?
* Ps: I want to stay away from Poll questions that deal with Politics and Religion ... I don't need any fights on here. (lol)

Poll Examples:

* Which pets do you have?
A. Dogs
B. Cats
C. Others
D. None

* Did you ever go to college?
A. Yes
B. No

* Who's the best looking guy on Turk Forums?
A. Turk
B. TURK
C. A and B
D. All of the above

* Okie dokie ... after a few weeks of trial and error, I have a few things to say about the Famous Turk Forums Polls.
* The Polls will mostly be a weekly poll -- running from Monday through Saturday, depending on what's going on.

* There will be no polls on Sunday, to give a day break/rest from the poll, until the next new poll starts on Monday.
* I will mix the poll questions up, one week polling about this, next week polling about that, while mixing in phone polls.

* Also, I will ask poll questions according to what's going on in the world or in our country at that time ... for example:
> 2 weeks ago I polled about the Olympics, last week polled a phone question, this week about schools starting, etc.
-----------------------------

* Also, when you Vote, and then click on the Results button, the poll results should just show up on the Forum only.
* It may take you to another Site to show you the results, if it does it means you have your browser settings on high security.

* Feedback Please: are the poll results showing up on here, or are they taking you to another Site to see the results?

Hi Turk, B-)

I have my Internet Security set on "Medium." In fact, those are my default settings, and no, I'm not being taken
to another site.... I see the responses on this site.

Hope that helps . . .

Hey Turk,

All I can add is that I checked on both Firefox and Google Chrome (which are the only browsers I use),
and they both show me the results here in the same window as you vote... So I hope that helps too. :)

Howdy Turk,

For me and my computer, the poll results show up on here right after you hit the result button.
It doesn't take me to a different page... Hope this also helps you out.

By the way, my wife and I both like the poll idea you added to your forum and we both voted on all your polls so far.

My wife never really comes on here, she lets me do all the work dealing with our phones.
But, she is always asking me now "what's the poll question for this week!" ^_^

Good job with the polls, Turk, my wife is a fan. :D

* Alrighty... thanks to everyone that gave me your feedback, I appreciate it ... I think I have enough feedback to go on.

* I just wanted to make sure that most (if not all) visitors and members are seeing the Results right here on the Forum.

* The poll stuff seems to be working the way I want it to ... thanks.. ;)

* Also, I have a few poll openings left for now if anyone else is interested in providing a poll question? -- think about it.

Turk,

Just FYI, when I use FireFox and have the add-on NoScript enabled it blocks Java scripts from running and the Poll
results do open in another window or tab taking me away from your site. If I allow all the scripts on your web site (by
turning the NoScript off for your web page) then everything works fine and the results open in the same web page.

So, if someone else complains about that problem, the first thing you should ask is "Are you using FireFox, and do
you have the NoScript add-on or any other add-on that would prevent Java scripts from running on your web page."

How do I post a comment in the poll? .. I click on the comment link but it just takes me to poll results... Thanks.
* annepani .... I have the poll comments turned off ... so that is why you can't post a comment about the polls.

* I have always had them turned off for each poll only because...
1. I didn't think anyone was really interested in leaving a comment?
2. I didn't want to have to put up with people leaving stupid comments like:
> "this question sucks" .. or .. "these polls suck" .. or .. "Turk, you suck" (LOL)

* I can turn the comment section on, but it has to be for each individual poll ... and it has to be turned on from the
* beginning of that poll when I make it up ... I just can't turn it off and on at will.

* I'll start turning the comment section on from now on, just to see how it goes - if I get crapped on, I'm turning it back off. ;)

* annepnai ... no, I have no ideas - it's not working on my computer either - I even tried both firefox & safari browsers.

* I will give it a try again on my next poll, and if it doesn't work either on my next poll, I will just turn it back off again.

* I don't know why it isn't working, but it's not a concern to me, I'm just happy I'm even able to get polls to work on here. (lol)

Hi Turk and annepani,

After I voted, I clicked on "Comments," and later, I clicked on "Results" and then clicked on "Comments."
Both times, I was taken to a new webpage:

http://www.learnmyself.com/personality.asp?p=poll-results&qp=7080xe9B451da-1

And, on the webpage, it read:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'.

/code/_poll.asp, line 914


Looks like something is incorrect, but it's beyond me........ BTW, I'm using Google Chrome.

* Ok ... I turned the comment section on again for this new poll and it is still not working, or going through.

* I get the same results as what to ShadowDancer has posted up above ... and I don't know what that means?

* Anyway, for some reason the comment section won't work for my Forum, so I guess I'll just turn it back off again.

* Maybe down the road, when I have more time, I'll look for other poll making sites and see what they have to offer.

* But for now, I guess I'll just stick with this poll making site, since I do like it, and I have mastered the controls. ;)

* Ok Turk fans, I have some "poll news" to pass along to you all ...
* Last year when I started putting polls on here, the polls were part of a website called: http://www.learnmyself.com/

* It was a website where you can take IQ tests, take brainy quizes, make polls, etc ... and the polls always worked fine.
* Then about 3 months ago, learnmyself.com parted ways with the poll making section, and now it's on it's own site.

* The new site for making the polls was now on: http://www.poll-maker.com/
* Anyway, since the polls went to it's own new site, there has been problems with the polls working correctly on here.

* And, just this week, the latest poll quit working completely on Tuesday, so I removed it from the forum, if you noticed.
* Now, that poll site seems to be acting up, and it won't let you make a poll, seems as if the site has been abandoned?

* Over the last 6 months, I have tried out a bunch of other poll making sites as well, and I didn't really like any of them.
* Soooooo, long story short ... if that poll site never recovers, I may end up stop making polls for here, just saying.. :-/

* To be continued.....

* Ok Turk Fans... over the weekend, the Poll site started to work normal again... as you can see, I have a poll up. (lol)

* I noticed the Poll site added some new things here and there... so maybe it was "down" last week for maintenance?

* Anyway, since the Poll site is back up and running, I I guess I will continue the weekly polls on here as usual.. ;)

Glad to see the polls are working again... However, with the end of school year poll I would have added a third
choice saying "I don't have any kids and am too old to go to school so I don't really notice". ;)
