Perhaps I shouldn't make this public, but it is possible to vote in the same poll many times.

Can this be sorted, so that once you've voted, thats it?

Working as designed dude. There's an

"Allow Multiple Votes in this Poll" option which you can check or not as the poll creator.

I hadn't tried to generate a new poll before, so was unaware of the option.

My understanding of the option is to allow you to vote for two different options from the list e.g. in the Aberdeen poll you could vote for both a Saturday and  a Sunday afternoon. However, in this case you can vote for the same time a number of times over, which is not the way the poll is intended as someone could bias the results?

So yes, Stephen is correct in allowing multiple votes, but the poll is wrong allowing you to select the same option over and over again.

I think you may be right. Not sure why but possibly because the forum designers may have based it upon IP address rather than username (not sure why!!!) but I will fix it asap.

Im not 100% sure now. I set up a poll and voted and tried to vote again but no joy. I even tried the following:-
clearing cookies
different browsers (MSIE, Opera & Mozilla)
disconnecting from ISP to get different IP address
and still I can't vote again!
Will check again on PC in work tomorrow.
