Another new feature for the aforementioned Member site layout upgrade is now complete: polls. Attach a poll to any new blog post and use it to find out what your audience thinks. There's also a new content box that shows your website's latest poll in the sidebar.
See it here: http://test.byond.com/guilds_rock/BYONDLabs?post=26528
From there, you can go to your own site, Add Post, and attach a poll to the post.
Just a few more content boxes left before this stuff goes live. As always, comments and bug reports are appreciated.

By "it" you mean "Saturday," I think. :)

You're never right, Acebloke. Starting a week on a Monday is a business concept. From antiquity, the week has always properly started on Sunday. Hence why Saturday is observed as the Sabbath in Judaism. It's "weekend" in much the same way that there are "bookends".

The religion bit was a joke, btw :p but yeah on this side of the pond we start on Monday.
Edit for European Supremacy: If you think about it, we're right. Sunday is part of the weekend so having Sunday at the start of the week is just silly and contradictory. Yes you know I'm right.

>Oh yeah, and can the Calendar system have an option so those of us of non-orthodox Christianity can start the week on a monday rather than a sunday? (nitpicking)
I'm pretty sure that's moved beyond Christianity and into the acceptance of Western secular society.
Edit - Now that I read about it, in Europe Sunday is the last day of the week, shows what I know.

Totally awesome, Mike. I like this poll, too. "Batman" is fun just because I picture saying it in a dramatic half-whisper. It works as an answer to almost anything.

I demand a recount! The answer "Batman" is illogical and confuses voters. Because of this oversite, some news sources are claiming that people have misvoted yes when they mean no, no when they mean yes, and Batman when they don't need help!

Probably. But Javascript is a pain in the ass! ;)

Probably not before going live, but it's already on the list for the future.

And I'm sure politicians would like to see who voted for what in the last election. Especially those in power, so they can do bad things to people who didn't vote their way.
Of course, it's a huge invasion of privacy, as well as disincentive to even bother voting. If you want to know who voted on something, just ask people to vote via their comments.

I wish to see who voted for what.

Why do I keep on getting...
"Only Guild Members can vote!" when I post a poll?
http://test.byond.com/guilds_rock/ FlameSage?command=view_post&post=26533
Poll: Would you play PKMN Online?
Yes 0% (0)
No 0% (0)
What's that? 0% (0)
Only Guild Members can vote.
I have an inactive guild (disabled), but I don't see how that would effect anything.
Could ye investigate this Mike H?

Also, can there be an option to select how many answers they can pick? Like say a question was: "What 2 ways would you think this could be improved?" and allow them to pick more than one answer.

When you vote, the top shows results but the site bars still shows options for voting. Is it possible to make both polls display results when you vote with one or the other?

Nice use of AJAX to show the results!
