Fish Life Span Poll

Johnny Reefer · #1 02-06-2009, 05:46 PM

Hi,

I screwed up on a fish life span poll. I didn't realize it was a multiple choice poll and submitted only one "vote". I wish to submit another "vote". Can't seem to figure out how to do this. Is this possible? It's regarding the Tasseled Filefish poll. I still have one of two fish and wish to place a "vote" on the one that is still alive.

Cheers,

Bump?

Sorry Mark I missed this one.

I don't think you can go back and vote again, however I can add whatever you'd like to vote for behind the scenes.

Thought that's how it might work. If you could add a vote for me to currently alive, over 2 years on the Tasseled Filefish poll, that'd be great. I suppose the downside is my name won't be attached to it. Oh well, better than nothing.

Also...just a thought, and perhaps another downside...but I suppose if the voter can't edit the polls themselves then these polls will become misleading information over time? If I put a vote in for still alive, over 2 years and continue to have the fish for another 2+ years, for a total of 4+ years, but my vote still says 2...what's the point in placing that vote if I can't change it? If my fish dies after a healthy 10 year life, am I stuck with the 2 year vote?

Thanx,

+1, if the polls don't ever end.

Hey guys,

We had decided that the polls would be reset yearly so that people could give updates on fish. Unfortunately that just hasnt' happened yet as all the polls have to be reset by hand which likely will take a couple of days. I'll try to start it tomorrow but it could be awhile as none of us have that much spare time these days

I'll let you know when they're ready to go!

Thanks Christyf5 for working on reseting the polls yearly, I was wondering the same thing about the polls and what happens after you vote once and the fish continues to live.
