Max number of choices in a Poll?

[TerraDave]

How big can these things get?

Thanks in Advance!

Theoretically, unlimited. Practically, how many do you need?

1st ed AD&D adventures are very popular (I have some threads open asking for nominations for the best...)...I am looking at about 50 choices, though I can narrow down if needed (but I would prefer for the voters to decide)

I think putting that many choices would be overwhelming, really.

Firsted.

Shouldn't be a problem at all, software-wise (IIRC even 200+ is possible), but keep in mind that many users' attention span generally isn't sufficient to really read, much less think about, huge lists before voting. Thus, narrowing it down a bit might not be the worst idea.

Seconded.

When I recently put up the "final 'how old are you' thread," I thought twice before including 60 choices, but as each choice is just a year, and because they're arranged in . . . well. . . numerical order, I went ahead and did it that way. It seemed to work out, but I'd be reticent to slog through dozens of actual choices that require reading, remembering, and evaluating.

Seconded

All opposed?. . . say nay

Fixed for great justice.

Fixed for great justice.

You didn't give a number, though.
