Re: Fix The Poll Bug
There are multiple choice options from the previous topic that is added to the new poll (excess alternatives).

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
So a suggestion you create has somehow got more choices in the poll then you added?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
All of the options from the deleted post are included into the new poll of the new topic (must be the confusion of the old and new post if both are identical).

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
I removed at least one of my topics because there were plenty of options. If I post it, you may believe that I deliberately added more alternatives. Please check the issue yourself and delete the topic afterwards if you find that there are excess choices. Also, voters would think "Why so many alternatives?". I do not want them to decide which one to vote out of at least 4 options.

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
Let me see if I understand this issue.
1. You create a poll and suggestion topic.
2. You deleted it.
3. Create a new one which somehow included the old and new poll choices.

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
Did you delete the all thread or just the poll?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
Please post the link to the thread where this has occurred. Or have you deleted the new one, too?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
My new post was removed. I fear that plenty of choices would cause a warning from another moderator besides you (because you understand the problem).

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
An issue such as this is improbable on my forums. In addition, why would I suggest to my own forums if I am the creator of them (I could use the Administrative Control Panel)?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
No. I mean has this issue occurred with any polls you added to your forum?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
I would not suggest to my forums if I have the ability to change them (have not added polls to the forums of mine). Do you want me to attempt it?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
It does not have to be a suggestion poll. I mean has this happened when you created any kind of poll on your forum?

Re: Fix The Poll Bug
Obviously, making a poll without deleting the topic results in the poll functioning as usual. If producing a poll caused the bug explained above, then I would not be the only one to notice it.
