Do the front page polls work for most people?

Cause all I ever get is a Bravenet error page

I haven't had a problem with the polls yet.
I didn't vote in this poll, though... you seem to be asking two opposite questions. The post title asks "Do the front page polls work?", to which my answer would be always, but the actual poll says "This happens to me", (and assuming "this" is the error), so responding to that I would fill in "never". Which would be correct?

Yeah, "this" means the error I described in the post. So lots of Always votes would indicate that the polls are broken for everyone, not just me.

No problems with the front page poll here.

Or it might indicate that everyone answered the question in the thread title

. Since everyone here has posted that they have no problems, but there are currently 3 votes for "always" and only 1 vote for "never", it seems that so far the poll has been misinterpreted by at least half the people who voted in it.
If you want accurate data, I'd advise making a new post with a clearer poll.

They have never worked for me

LOL! Turrosh, you do realize that a vote for "never" means that you say the polls never malfunctions for you, right? What you want to express (the fact that the polls always malfunction for you) would be a vote of "always". Heh.

Heh, so so far 60% of people who have voted have misinterpreted the poll.

Agnostic Paladin, if you want accurate results, you really need to remake the poll in a much clearer fashion.
