I'm going to eliminate all "No poll"-s from future postings.

Bob Hansen · Post by **Bob Hansen** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 7:20 pm

Hi Jeffy.....thanks for the continued effort on the polls.

On July 27 you wrote:

The first is a way to auto-populate the polll with the "standard" five-option poll, with a single button to delete all five options at once, and where the question and options can be edited by the poster.

Yesterday I got some work done on that.
See this: http://www.textpad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4212

The poll options, question and subject for that Topic were actually done using a little routine I am fooling around with in spare moments. With good luck, maybe I'll get it done and it will become available......but right now, it's an experiment.....

Bob,

This would be way cool. I look forward to seeing this in action.

Thanks for your efforts, too. :' )

I don't think BBCode is possible within a CODE tag. I'd love to be proven wrong. I wanted links, but I felt that nice alignment in a CODE tag was more desirable.

Alas, the BBCode faq states:
"All formatting used within

Code: Select all

[/code ] tags is retained when you later view it."

Post by **MudGuard** » Tue Sep 02, 2003 7:19 am

Prove whether color is possible within code:

Code: Select all

[color=red]red text within code[/color][color=blue]blue text within code[/color]

Looks like it is not possible to me...

Looks like the top five are still pretty stable. It's interesting to see the change in position of the next ten or so. Hope Helios is paying attention to the top five at least!

Thanks again Jeffy.........

Thanks Jeffy....

I will have to make time to get back to my auto poll generator. I keep seeing more polls not matching your specs.

It is also a surprise to see that Expand/Collapse blocks of text has now edged out Editable Macros. These two are almost double the value of the next contenders. Hopefully Helios will pay attention and help us out here with the next Version release.
