    sorry if this has already been mentioned, but i was just curious if there is an extension coming out to allow users to create polls? i think it would be a neat and useful extension.

    i'd like to see a poll extension that hooked up with the Flash Charting Components for some snazzy displaying of the results.

    Flash? No. HELL NO!

    Unless you are reffering to flash (ie. good, wow, something new ...), but I think you were reffering ot the app.

    Use CSS to style the results.

    polls are the only thing i miss on this board after using other forums.

    Calm down mates... Flash, when used appropriately, can be very elegant and light-weight.

    They serve a purpose, if they're not abused.

    polls are a pain in the ass, but on certain types of forums, they're very useful.

    most polls just confirm that most people are idiots.

    64.3% of false statistics sound more realistic when they are not a round number and include a decimal point.

    You guys have it all wrong! You can have a multiple-option single-response question presented with checkboxes, it allows for both to be selected!

    No
    Yes

    Instead, use radio buttons...

    No
    Yes

    I seriously can't wait to see what people do with extensions. I want to see all kinds of crazy stuff. I have been pretty impressed with the ones developed so far :)

    Well I was [thinking about it](http://lussumo.com/community/comments.php?DiscussionID=1319&page=1#Item_0) but then I realised I was _way_ out of my depth. But I did think my idea of using an existing poll system might be easier!

    Those posts from late July with the checkboxes/radio buttons show how polls could be done very cleanly.
