Hi @Onlyones. :slightly_smiling_face:

If you put your question/header above the poll then it won’t appear as an option. :+1:

Eg

Stainless Steel

[poll type=regular results=always public=true chartType=bar]
* Yes
* No
[/poll]

@Ian_Chimp I have a feeling you may have pointed that out to me before .I shall try to remember in future as it just looks wrong like that.

I gave up. :slightly_smiling_face: I don’t think it likes them in the Details. I’m just trying to do a regular in-page anchor, and it only seems to work outside the nested categories.

That’s okay. :slightly_smiling_face: Have a practice in here if you need it. :+1:

I think i did that too,in my defence it has been one of those days trying to explain technology to your 80+ mother in law is no joke. :frowning_face:

Testing doing a topic link via the link button

The Great Pub Quiz Game Thread

And by just copying the link onto a new line

And if I add a post number it previews that specific post

And if I add a post number that doesn’t exist yet does it then work when that post gets created?

Edit: ooh, so the link will work once the post gets created and it will then add in a onebox preview after a few minutes. Very interesting!
So it’s possible to link to posts that haven’t yet been made and then as soon as they ARE made it then creates the one box preview.

Let’s find out

I think it was because the post I was linking to didn’t exist yet, then as soon as it did exist the one box sorted itself out.

Just having a play to see what happens trying to link to the future!

Just testing creating a poll! Don’t mind me :blush:

  • This has worked really well
  • No it hasn’t

0 voters

Edit: Can people see the results once I’ve closed the poll even if they didn’t vote?

I can see this has 100% worked really well. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

FABULOUS! Thanks so much as always @Ian_Chimp.

This is an excellent thread to try things out first! Brilliant idea.

Here`s a question for @Ian_Chimp or @Lovehoney_Brenna…i have had a box pop up a couple of times after replying to a single member a few consecutive times, it suggests sending them a personal message instead of continuing on the forum and there is a link. I thought this was not allowed? I hesitate to click the link, in case i get into trouble!

Ooooh. That is interesting. :slightly_smiling_face: Private Messages are locked (apart from the ones Brenna sends). I imagine that clicking on that button would send you to a dead-end. Click on it next time and see what it does. :slightly_smiling_face:

How many replies does it count as too many?

@Ian_Chimp Looks like about 3 or 4, but i am sure i’ve had more back and forth replies in other topics, i was replying to @wildflower in the What Are You Currently Doing? Topic, regarding her washing machine woes. Strange how it never pops up in the Word Association or Change A Letter topics where it`s often just two people playing for a while depending on the time of day?

Ok @Ian_Chimp :slight_smile:

Doggone!

Me neither!

@Ian_Chimp i will keep tagging your name, that may be how the programme recognises multiple responses to the same person?

@Ian_Chimp

@Ian_Chimp good idea
