The Ability to Change Polls Within a Thread. - Peppermint Butler - Jun 6, 2014

I couldn't find a suggestion like this, so I'm going to go ahead with what I feel would be a nice suggestion to this ever so growing Forum.

Today I was trying to change the Poll within my Thread to something else that I would like to have answers to from my customers. I feel like using Polls is the best and most efficient way to gather statistics on things that my customers would like, but I have found out today that it is not possible to change the Poll you have made without Deleting the thread and recreating it.

Reasons to why this should be a feature (At least for UB3RS):

  1. It allows users to gather cutomer's input on their product

  2. It distinguishes the time needed to PM or ask an immense amount of users what they would like.

  3. It creates a more fun and interactive thread.



The only reasons to why I see this not happening:
  1. Some users may abuse this in some way that I am not aware of.

  2. There is a poll timeout already, but it doesn't have a deletion capability.

  3. I can't think of anything else.



Thank You,
PB

I did happened to get the Thread Poll removed but it required me to contact an admin on this site, and I hate disrupting them from monitoring this forum. I will think twice now before making a new poll now, If this feature is made it will also save other members on here from making the same mistake as I did.

You should post a poll to show how many users agree. ^_^

Yes, this may be a poll that doesn't need to be changed ;)

So members don't have the EDIT POLL option under the poll results?

Sometimes as an admin you forget that certain permissions are not set for members.

Seems that MyBB doesn't give the option for regular memebers to edit polls. I can't even change a permission for it.
