looks like it was a successful test.

instead of writing:

why not go for:

AWESOME!

Instead of

I suggest:

Nice feature, certainly will be useful for all those Democracy Games.

The timezone indication wouldn't be necessary, since it's your local time (as specified in your options). At least, that's what I think it is, considering FrustratedPoet apparently sees 20:49, you see 14:29 and I see 21:29.

Well, I voted for bah 2, the clearly superior blah.

By the way, I agree with FP... wouldn't just stating the end date be easier?

it would be nice if it showed up after you had finished voting too though, so you could see how long the poll will last after you vote

Agreed, it would be nice for those of us who have voted to be able to see when it ends.
I'm pretty sure it's based upon our timezone - mine said 06-11-2002, 7:29 or something similar. I have voted though, so can't check.

Vote 1 for Blah2!!

I'm remaining blah-neutral. In typical liberal style I'm happy to sit on the fence indefinitely.

redblah has a point.


but if this feature was to be expanded so that those who have already voted could see how much longer it is going to take to close the poll that would be really cool

it's not spam,
you can post a poll and limit the period in which people can vote. (after that period you can't vote anymore)

in this new feature the poll shows how much time there's left over to vote.

Under 5 hours from user suggestion to Markos' implementation.

Pretty bleeping incredible service... This is a big part of why I'm so hooked on Poly.

(Oh, and I just had to go with blah3 -- the blandly superior blah!)
