I created 4 polls yesterday. 2 work for everyone and 2 work only for the admin and moderator. The 2 that do not work will not show poll buttons at all. I tried to create polls this morning and none will work for anyone other than Admin/Moderator. Help!

Are the 2 that work for only Admin/Mod are inside a forum where regular users cannot vote?

Alos, what forum version are you using?

I am using 2.3.0

The 4 polls are all under the same catergory.

You can check it out - go to www.penrick.com
Political Campaigns
When you go into State and County Elections, the polls work
When you go to State Rep or Register of Probate Race, the polls do not work for members.

For the hell of it, I made up a new name and went through many of the polls. I could do most of them, a few wouldn't allow me. People have complained in the past. They were able to choose an option but there was no vote button. Now there is a vote button but no way for them to choose.

I wish I could explain in computer terms but I have none. The administrator is my partner who is sick of me asking him to look at the site. Too much info!!! hee hee

Uhm, I went to the forum and here is what I see...

You have a 'Political Campaigns' category, inside that category you have 3 forums. The 'State & National Elections' and 'State Representative Race' are two seperate forums inside that category.
If you can vote in 1 forum and not the other there is a 99% likely hood that your permission settings inside the group manager allow users to vote on polls inside 1 forum and not the other.

To solve this problem, login as an administrator, click on the 'Group(s) Manager' link. From the selectbox choose the group who's name matches the forum you cannot vote in, for example: 'Register of Probate Race' and click on the 'Edit Group' link.

On that table at the bottom of the page, see if 'All Registered Users' have 'Vote' permission (set to YES), of not edit that group and assign registered users 'Vote' permission.
