We've got a new poll system up on the AusGamers home page at the moment just getting some quick feedback about what everyone's favourite gaming platform is, focusing on the 4 majors at the moment. If you have a few spare microseconds please bounce over and hit it up - you'll find it in the right-hand side column just to the right of the top news item!

Yeh soz, there was an older poll that was running for a few days which was a simpler test, now I've added all the options we want to cover just for now.

(also go PC)

"Sorry, you can only vote in this poll once."

Say what.

IS the poll supposed to disappear once you've voted? Seems kind of strange because it would be better to see the results...

No option for "whichever has good games at the time".

I don't care what platform my games are on, as long as they're good.

When you vote, it shows the results (or should), then on subsequent page loads it is gone (this is by design)

Same again.

EDIT: Wasn't logged into ausgamers.com, only the forums. Logging in fixed it, and it behaved as trog said above

Actually - if you ARE getting that "canonly vote once" message can you let me know before doing anything so we can figure out why - just PM me and I'll check it out!

But how can we keep track of the voting if we can't see it?

I was first to vote. I have no idea if the other idiots voted PC or not!

heh, at first i saw the poll n voted nps but never saw the results. checked again just now & can't see the poll, logged into ausgamers with my usual nick/pword & it says i gotta update my email address (was my old dem0n.qgl.org addy) coz it's old or something. change the email addy to the one i am using at work & it says i can't use that addy coz another account uses it & provides some bullshit about using some other page to reset my password @(!#*$!*$!

I couldn't figure out how to display the poll neatly in the RHS module yet, short of stuffing it down the bottom and was trying to avoid that. Current poll results will always be at http://www.ausgamers.com/poll .

What is your favourite gaming console?

We need to know how many votes there have been...

Also, I voted ok, and the results looked ok, but now that I've gone back to the site, I can't see the poll anymore.


PS: You might consider re-doing the favicon.gif to match the new design.

One gripe is that the 'Discuss this poll' link is gone after voting. So I went to reload the page to click on it (thinking I may see it) and the poll disappeared :)

theres a reason they never have a console and pc able to connect to the same servers for their online games and it isnt because they cant write the protocol to work with both... Keyboard is king and consoles are for fags

Yeah I have had a similar error for years.
My username has a banned word in it, and someone already has already taken fireblood? (WTF?! - Probably me, but still won't let me access)
So eh for ausgamers, i don't really use it anyway.
