Enabling multiple votes is always susceptible to manipulation, tom-foolery, and it increases the chance of error. I often use multiple-votes, but have never known anyone to abuse those polls. It's probably a lack of interest in part as my choices tend not to be very popular or mainstream, and they tend to attract the same members who just aren't into such antics. The worst I usually get is people not voting as much as I would like in multiple choice polls (I've actually said for some polls, vote as many times as you like for any one option, and still individuals will only vote once for an option, and often I see more posts than votes when I make polls, which I often appreciate.) If you care about accuracy, then enabling multiple voting is not the best way to go. As for me, I care more about the discussion and comments than the poll results. I do wish that the voting members were made public with our forum software since you get a lot of silent voters in popular polls (like Genesis, Yes, Boyz II Men, King Crimson, G. Love & Special Sauce, Pink Floyd, Rush, Limp Bizkit etc.), and it would curb cases such as this (as would forum software that didn't allow you to vote for an option more than once). But it's not that important of an issue to me, more a curiosity.   Multiple voting polls are Always prone to abuse, sometimes caused by not knowing how to handle with these. I suggested a way of improving these by using check boxes instead of radio buttons and cast the votes only once, but apparently this was addressed to deaf man's ears. Back to topic: I cast my three allowed votes for: 1. Fool's Overture 2. Try Again 3. Hide in Your Shell Yeah, unfortunately it often feels like suggestions for site improvements fall on deaf ears (or no ears at all). Problem with implementing such improvements are: a) Is it an option with our Web Wiz forum software (I seem to remember looking into this at Web Wiz and not seeing it as an option with our software), and if not, would it be compatible (could one mod it relatively easily), and if not would a change in forum software be considered. b) Would M@x be willing to make the changes, or perhaps pay someone to do so (is Graphix still involved?), if one was able to contact him (as this is his site). M@x rarely visits the forum it seems, and he posts hardly ever. My biggest issue is the Captcha, by the way, which causes me problems, although I find Opera much less prone to it than when I use the Chrome and Safari web browsers.

 

I have a new and my own interpretation of Lover Boy from Even In the Quitest Moments.And that is of a love struck couple on a deep space exploration. the loooong and slow pace showcase the enviroment of traveling in an unincompasiable space. From its romantic hopefull beginnkng, to its mendering everyday experience and the final, an intence violent finaly.

When others were complaining at first, I wasn't experiencing it at all. I also use Firefox quite a lot, and do find it better than Chrome (that I use as a more secure browser). I especially have had problem with Captcha on my iPad and on my android phone, but it affects the laptops I use as well (one being a PC, and the other an iMac).
