The Polls/Surveys system built into vBulletin is absolutely abysmal. It was actually one of the very few downgrades we suffered when we moved from UbbThreads.

One of the key gripes I had was that there was no way to have the option to prevent someone from seeing the results without voting first. There were other problems with the system which I won't even begin to get into. It's been mostly unused it recent years.

Today we begin testing an upgraded polling system.

- People will be able to view results AFTER they vote (poll creators can view polls and threads without voting).
- Only an initial post in a poll thread will be viewable without voting.
- Polls can be created by Admins, Mods, and Donors at the $100 level to date, and then only in 2 sections: Polls/Surveys, and the New Products/Mods/Services section. Depending how that works out we may or may not expand access to the poll features.

Again, the upgrades have had only (literally) a few minutes of testing. Please, if anyone (post creator or other viewer) sees anything off base, please let me know.
