Is it just me, or are there an exceptionally large number of active polls in the Poll Station right now? Perhaps some of the computer-related ones could be moved into their respective forums?

When I posted this most of the Active Topics page was filled with polls, and all of the polls of the first page of the polls forum had been posted in in the last two hours. Not tha t there's anything wrong with that, but many probably should've been in respective specific forums - like software discussion, etc.

the poll station is just that, a place for any kind of poll, including technical. Seems fitting to me.

Poll station keeps it away from the other "main" areas of the board

What would be nice is for each user to be able to config somehow which forum areas showed up when you searched for new/active post. That way areas you didn't have much interest in wouldn't display.. like ignor. You could select ignor poll station. Anyone else think this would be great??

You can! On the main search link up at the top, you just hold down the control key and select the different forums you want to search... all you have to do is select the main headings for all the other categories, and then make sure that poll station is not selected itself nor its parent heading

Yea I know you can select which topics you search, I was talking about getting NEW post only. or active post. I tried this anyway just to see. I went to the search selected certain topics then hit new and other topics still showed up. So either you misunderstood or it doesn't work like you think, or it didn't for me.
Some stupid **** went through like 2 months worth of polls last night making a retarded comment in each.
IceDogg, I've requested that before on Neowin and on IBP but so far nothing. I really hope one day it gets implemented.

Yeah that would be great. Like a default personal setting.

I remember that. Isn't that what spurred on the post count locking on the polls & general disc.?

the poll station should be for poll that don;t fit into another subforum, technical computer polls should be left in hardware hangout for exambple, since the people that frequent that subforum are the most likely to know the correct anwser and give a better answer to the poster, however, if it is a poll like, which do you prefer, rather tha a poll like "which one should i buy" then it should be moved to the poll station
just my thoughts on the subject
