Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Early this morning I noticed a few very ancient poll threads had self resurrected overnight, when no post had been added and votes long since closed.

Has Roy been tinkering again?

Don't think so have been discussing on Crisp Poll thread.:)

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

There were a few others which had no 'resurrection posts' at 6am

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

yeh but are polls still open? coulda just voted.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I thought all poll threads had a date for closing automatically:confused:
The threads I saw were from 2007/8 - hardly likely to be still open.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

no crisp one was still open taggy voted on it,which yeh would know if yeh read the thread.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Ya I've just checked that thread too cashy only the tourettes thread is closed yet its back live again

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I dislike poll threads anyway. They show as having new posts when they haven't - a nuisance.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

makes no odds to me,if i dislike summat i ignore it simple.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

they only show new posts when someone votes, even if no one has commented

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I closed one that had been left open and will close others when I see them

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Is that a good idea neil? things from way back come back up, which new members aint seen,n may wish to add to, which i can't see a lot wrong with,:)

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Was going to make the same point Cashy.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

The rules say this:

Which is why I close them when I see them.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Yeh but that rule did not apply when those polls were started i think.;)

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Can we not close the poll but leave the thread open?

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Think thats whats happened susie.

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I think it has been in for a long time. Mick will know and might tell us

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Yes.

We can close the poll without closing the thread

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Well at least the polls on Accyweb are fair unlike the one below taken from Saturdays Telegraph
The poll in the paper is a yes or no poll or supposed to be :D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I hope accyman doesn't see that mick, he'll be having a thrombie:D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Well the spate of old polls being resurrected is continuing apace now another two or three this morning, so who's the culprit, come on own up and stop being childish

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Well I can think of a couple of people............................:D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

I think it will come to a stop soon.

There aren't anymore polls left, that didn't have a closing date.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Perhaps the 'person' was only helping the mods.

Tidying them all in one place, in case some other naughty tit resurrected them, at some future date.

:rolleyes::D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

As mentioned, when someone votes on a poll ... still shows them as the last reply on the main forum page, even though no post.

Did you notice this, Jaysay? If it didn't, then highly suspicious is someone who can manipulate this... not that I am mentioning any names like.... :D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Ya mean like a mods little helper Rindi;)

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Perhaps there weren't that many polls the naughty boy, or girl, hadn't already voted in?

:rolleyes:

:D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Ya, I think I did mention the fact myself;) as for you second point um ha ya, don't know:D

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

Perhaps.

A give, give, give, little helper.

:rolleyes:

Re: Poll threads that resurrect themselves
 

One has come to my mind:cool:
