When a thread has multiple polls like the thread by Brandon: http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=226912 you have to choose an option in all the polls to make your vote, eg in his topic I didn't want to vote in the section "Your least favorite new feature(s) in IPB 2.2 are..." but it wouldn't let me vote until I checked an option there.

Anyway when there are multiple polls you should have the option to cast a null vote in some of them... original.gif

Yeah. I too had a that problem with that very same poll.

Me too.

I guess a workaround would be for the poll poster to think more carefully before adding all the possible answers, and adding a "N/A" or "Don't wish to answer" option whenever there is a chance that someone might wish to skip a question. But, yeah... if they don't (and most wouldn't), then you're forced into answering a question that you might not want to answer, just to be able to answer the ones that you do want to answer.

Personally I think it's up to the pollster to make a N/A option because the poll needs to detect a vote for it to work.

Unless you can cast a null vote!....... Which is exactly the point made in the original post.

If the poll needs to detect a vote for it to work, then modify/improve the feature so that it doesn't! (See Post #1.)
