Hi DM,ããSlyVote has a "stats" feature which shows some statistics on the polls thatãmight be of interest, and one thing it shows is the total number of votes forãeach poll and their options with the highest (unique) number of votes. For theãnumber of votes, it displays the total_votes property of the message header,ãbut it seems that isn't always accurate. For instance, in the Dove-Net Hobbiesãsub-board, there's the poll "What is your favorite hobby?" The total_votes hasãa value of 5 on my system, but there are 9 votes on the poll (one the firstãanswer has 2 votes and the 3rd answer has 7 votes).ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
