We can see voter's names?

[Deleted]

Hey, maybe I am crazy but were we always able to see voter's names in polls here on the forums?

I have nothing against it (can't say it matters much), just asking because I could swear I wasn't able to click on the number of voters for each answer and see who voted for it before.

It's not new, new. I haven't been serious about these forums for long, just reading headlines, but it's been this way for at least the past months that I have followed forums somewhat closer

Yeah, it's a poll creation option. For all public polls, there's a warning above the choices that the poll is public and anyone can see your answers. If you'd like to avoid your name being recorded, you can avoid answering that type of poll.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in polls where names are public, I can see the names of voters before I cast a vote, but then afterwards I can't see the names - just the numbers.

Can you post a screenshot of before/after?

OK here goes

This is from a poll here (Video Games --> Star Wars)

Before voting: The initial vote screen (with the "view poll results" option, next to "Vote Now")

Before voting: Clicking on "view poll results"


.

.

After voting: No more names



Nothing changed with my setup during that process. I could view the results before, just not after.

You should be able to click on the numbers to see the names. 14/2/10 all look like hyperlinks in that last shot.

I'll poke the devs and ask why there's a difference.

Sure enough

The problem was I didn't know how to use the system - sorry for the bother then. I was looking for a button :/

Sorry Sunshine - the numbers 14, 2, and 10 were the buttons to click to see the results .. I was looking for the wrong type of link.

Thanks both of you, learned how to use voting today! /blush
