Not sure which one to use, is it ok to keep all 3?

About forms, I'm still doing some planning, it looks doable but I'm just worried my lack of experience from only being self taught might cause bugs.

What I've come up with so far involves a process of creating temporary keys and verifying them. I'm trying to find ways to increase usability so that it's simple and worth it for a poll creator to set it up. I think it should be very straightforward to use if I do it right, but I will find out with more planning and testing.

I'll update you with a more detailed plan once I'm happy with it.

In terms of interactive with linkify, my idea might involve adjusting the embed link slightly to automatically create and pre-fill a voting key (maybe), and perhaps use localstorage to detect if a vote is made to embed a thank you instead of the poll.

It looks like a lot of effort for a simple idea (one vote per person), but I would like to give it a go. Even if it doesn't work out for some reason, it looks like an interesting project to try.

For now, do you think it'll be ok to embed forms without it?

P.S.
I just checked strawpoll, and it has an embed feature:



<iframe src="http://strawpoll.me/embed_1/1" style="width: 600px; height: 390px; border: 0;">Loading poll...</iframe>

It could be a good solution to simple polling. :o

P.P.S.
Your post restore feature is a lifesaver!


This is culprit http://strawpoll.me/1 I suspect it's '/' in the url + itallic tags. Your post without RS-Linkify does the same, so it's on the sever.

Yes you can have all three images, I get uploaded in 5-10 min

Yeah I knew strawpoll had an embed facility. That's probably a good thing to model your poll off.

Their options are good, single selection, multiple selections. Setup is pretty easy, and you can have varied amounts of options, not just yes/no. The results show in the same frame as poll, multiple voting is handled quite well, and so on.

For me it's easy, I just have to embed the iframe. You have the hard part and tbh I don't envy you.

As for your broken post, I'm pretty sure the server is not discerning the slashes in tags and urls within some posts. If nesting breaks or if there are unclosed bb tags the formating of the post is destroyed.

I know you had no unclosed tags, so I assume the BB code routine was confusing '/' and incorrectly nesting, thus breaking your post.

Ahh there you go, hehe it was you all along :)

I just assumed your tags were fine, but something did draw my eye to the link. That was the only thing I tried. Removing it along with the italic tags worked first go.

Formatting is so temperamental and unforgiving, the slightest thing breaks it, and once broken it's so hard to read and find what went wrong.

Awesome job Indy! Now for my request. Since my photo/picture editing skills are are pathetic, can you make an avatar for me using this picture from postbag from the hedge?

http://images.wikia.com/runescape/images/d/d8/Wise_Old_Man_Poster.gif

Maybe cut off the writing and include just the face and the hand?

Thanks.
