This is a must and has been requested for a long time, multiple choice poll questions!

A little checkbox next to each poll question to indicate multiple choice or not is all that's needed. (And of course the functionality :P)

There is a good mod to achieve this available for IPB 2.1.0, but as a default feature would be much better:

http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=189252

Multiple answers and multiple questions... setting up a poll would be enough to confuse newbies. We need a "Lite" and an "Advanced" mode for polls. Perhaps some javascript can be used to hide some sections...

Still, brilliant idea. +1.

I agree with the regular and advanced mode.

+2

Yes I find it dissapointing this is still missing after all this time :(

Hopefully the next version? :unsure:

What the heck? I thought ipb already had this. Or maybe invisionfree does...

I would like this ability, and I like the idea of Basic/Advanced polls. Also, I think that admins should choose which groups can make a multi choice poll. :thumbsup:

still +1

It is feasible and ought to be done, but how can you draw staff's attention to this thread? :(

+1 from me as well.

We already have lite/advanced technology in IPB, look at Fast Reply. I have FR open by default, and if I want more options, I click on either AddReply or More Options. Poll should be the same.

For each poll question, all you need is, a little thing to the right where you can choose "Select ONE" or "Select ANY".

In forms, you have radio buttons and check boxes. Traditionally with radio buttons (circles with dots when selected) you must choose one and only one; choosing another "moves" your selection. Check boxes, you can have as many as you want.

There should also be an option to select none. The problem, IMHO, with 2.1's multiple question polls, is that you have to have an answer for all questions asked, and you may not, depending on the question.

The topic ought to have been titled "Multiple answers to poll questions". :P


PS - You don't draw staff attention to this thread. (Don't use report, that's feature abuse.) I think the developers browse the forum every now and then for inspiration. I would.

It's already been done.

I've downloaded this mod and plan to install it within the next week or so.

No, it hasn't already been done. Yes it's been created as a mod, but this feature suggestion forum is for feature suggestions to be added as a default feature in IPB, and this is exactly what I am requesting :)

I also agree with the regular and advanced modes

What about multiple choice in the profile screen?

What I mean is ether by a Costum profile screen, allow the user to pick several choices?

Is there a mod for that?

very interesting concept but what could it be used for?

For example,

www.tqhw.org

We are a on-line gaming group based on a military structure. We award medals and badges.

So we would like, via the Admin CP, award medals and badges by editing a members profile to add multiple medals appearing in their profile.

Don't really understand what you mean?

+2 for regular (or lite) and advanced modes. :) :thumbsup:

Ah, then yes I can see a use for it. Any site out there could find a use just like your example regardless of its site topic. therefore, i dig the idea :)

+1 for Mutiple Choice Polls.
+1 for Basic/Advanced Poll modes.

wtf? I thought ipb already had this. Or maybe invisionfree does...

InvisionFree does; IPB does not.

Well I did a search for Multiple Choice Polls and found this...

I been scratching my head on this subject because I been on Invisionfree for a year & half and recently purchased my databse from them and bought an IPB board and got setup on my own host. Well we have a very big & busy poll forum as one of the categorys and were wondering why we could not make multi choice polls nor vote in any old multi choice polls already created on the old forum.

This boggles my mind that is not a feature in IPB 2.1.x boards, why was it removed??? PLEASE bring it back thanks! :o

+1 for the multiple choices :thumbsup:

and another vote for multiple choice polls.

My users are reguesting this since the beginning so it has my vote too!
