I've made a lot of progress with polls recently, it's getting there...
https://hlf-polls.appspot.com/1 (voting system not set up yet, but try submitting an incomplete poll and see what happens, I'm also trying to work out how to use history states)
I've rewritten everything a couple of times, its latest modular code structure should make it easier to manage.
Without any surprises, it shouldn't take too long to get the voting back-end to work, then I can start on the fun of setting up poll creation. There are a couple of other features I have sketched up that I may also add.
Then after complete error handling and some cleaning up it should be readyyy
Thats pretty awesome looking lol. I'm just wondering if you are making this just because it looks more runescape like, or because there is something people do to tamper with strawpolls that they won't be able to with this?

I hope to have it embedded into posts when it's done, the look will hopefully make it feel natural when embedded. It's something that people have requested with linkify and I thought I'd give it a go as there are a lot of things to learn from making a poll web service. It's nothing to do with reliability of results, I'm not sure myself of all the ways developers make sure poll submissions are valid, so I'll be interested to see how it gets used when I'm done.
I don't know what to expect exactly, but if it ends up as a reliable way to have polls in HLF that work well embedded in the forums, then that'll be cool

Hi, was just wondering if you were aware of this minor issue I've been noticing over the last couple of weeks where the quote button wants to snuggle up close to the post.
@MichaeISword, I have seen that, but only since the forum update. I just refreshed page and it was okay again.
Tbh I haven't looked into it because I'm hoping to have my complete rebuild of RS Linkify live very soon. If for some reason I get held up I'll go back and work on the current version. But for now I'd rather get this new one finished and basically kill two birds with the one stone.
