I've been asked by a few people to take over the BOTM competition and I haven't a clue how it works.

This is only a test, please help by voting.

Sam.

Thanks for the help guys, do a little post when you have voted so I can thank you.
Also tell me what you can see in the header.
I voted for my bike and I can see that someone else did also and with one vote for any bike, are you seeing this also?

Sam.

Hi Sam, I just see the list. and when voted just the selection highlights. So no it doesn't give away any other info. Glad to hear that BOTM is in good hands.

I'm not seeing results.

Sam, I voted for her(whoever her is), the result was highlighted in bold...Larry

Just to be fair, I voted for his bike as he can turn a mean wench, I mean wrench...

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #9 on:** March 28, 2013, 04:43:58 PM »

Hmmmm, i want to know how "my bike" got in there in the first place, i didn't even know it was nominated, let alone accepted....

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #10 on:** March 28, 2013, 04:45:13 PM »

Thanks MoMo, that means that you can only see who you voted for, I guess because I am the moderator in here, only myself can see who is winning.
I don't know if I can see it because I am the Mod or if it's because I started the poll, I need to speak to the powers that be.

Thanks people.

Sam.

my bike.3 (27.3%) your bike.1 (9.1%) his bike,2 (18.2%) her bike.3 (27.3%) any bike.2 (18.2%

If I delete her bike, I'm in with a chance.

What option did you select when you started the poll?

From the Help file:

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Posting/english#Poll_Options

You should be able to "modify" the original post and see how the results change.

Sorry Mick, your bike is disqualified. Not finished! But bet it will be BOTM when it's done.

I need to discipline myself Steve, i just keep buying parts for all 3 instead of concentrating on one, upside with taking all this time is i've managed to get some bargain deals from this site and saved some good coin... I promise i'll put one together soon.....promise...

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #18 on:** March 29, 2013, 03:05:36 AM »

That's great guys, 17 people voted, is it only me who can see who's winning ?

Sam.

bwaller · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2013, 03:38:21 AM »

Try modifying the original post and select either the first option to "show poll results to everyone" or the second option to "only show results after someone has voted". The third option "only show results after the poll has expired" will only display the results after the poll expires, which in this case would be after March 30th.

Well... Sam seemed distraught that no one else could see the results. Just trying to help show him the difference in the available options so he can get it set the way he wants (or expects).

LOL, I forgot to read the "King's English" into it. "Pissed" here does seem more to imply inebreation as opposed to frustration!

NOT Sam! Say it aint so!

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #29 on:** March 29, 2013, 02:11:59 PM »

HAHAHA, yes "pissed" is drunk where i come from as well, i can see how that would be confusing with Angry, which by the way, does sometimes happen when you are pissed......

Every thing is just fine Wilbur

Haha, you'll get your chance in a few days in the real BOTM forum.

I knew most of you would vote for MY bike.

Thanks mate, I think we can take it that it works, I just need to get Glenn (who I have PMed) to make me a mod in BOTM so that I can see whats going on.

I'll lock this thread now as it has served its purpose.
