==Every time I vote in a poll==
 
I have a question: Every time I vote in a poll, my vote won't get counted. Why is that? Why is my vote not being counted and other users are?? [[User:Squallinoa 08|Squallinoa 08]] 05:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 
:I'm having the same problem, as are all users on my wiki. Is there discussion of this issue somewhere? --[[User:Mnenyver|mnenyver]] 19:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Changing the width of your polls ==
 
 
Polls are 40em wide by default. Wiki admins can make the poll widths changeable by adding
 
div.ajax-poll { width:auto !important ; }
 
to [[MediaWiki:common.css]] on your wiki. This will make all polls on your wiki be as wide as the "box" they're in, i.e. they'll usually expand to be as wide as the article body. You can now set its width by wrapping it in a div with a set width, or a table cell, or in any other layout box. Example: <pre>
 
<div style="width:250px;">
 
<poll>
 
How wide is this poll?
 
Wide
 
Not so wide
 
</poll>
 
</div>
 
</pre>

== Polls Width ==
 
 
While on the help page for the polls it told me that I could change the width of polls to fit the "box" they are put in. I'm trying to put this box on the main page so I need it to fit a 50% box. I've done everything I think I'm supposed to but it's still not fitting inside. Is there a special place I'm supposed to put the "div.ajax-poll { width:auto !important; }" in the Common.css?--{{User:JamesTFord1987/sig}} 06:46, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

== Wikilinks in polls? ==
 
 
Is there a way to include wikilinks in polls? When I try it, they don't show up. Thanks! —[[User:Yoda8myhead|yoda8myhead]] 07:40, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

== Update? ==
 
 
I had heard a rumor awhile back that this extension was soon to be replaced by something spiffy and new the Wikia programmers were working on. Was any of that more than a rumor?

== poll style ==
 
 
It would be great if the number of votes could be displayed behind the questions, or in front even,. Currently having a new line, AND a new white line after each question is making sure the polls are very tall. {{User:Zurgat/Sig}} 13:00, November 13, 2011 (UTC)
 
 
Currently, AjaxPoll's stylesheet isn't being loaded for MonoBook. It only loads when Wikia skin is selected, and occasionally when Monobook is previewed. Possible cause is that the CSS is kept in the browser cache; refreshing removes the styles. It globally affects wikis using Monobook skin and the poll. It is supposed to load the following stylesheet: [https://svn.wikia-code.com/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/AjaxPoll/css/AjaxPoll.scss]

:it would seem that is not currently an option. I am researching the polls right now to see if i cannot come up with a better way to do polls via css and js. [[User:Juper0| ~ Juper0]] ([[User talk:Juper0|talk]]) 08:55, January 23, 2014 (UTC)
