Just look on top of this thread, Paolo.

Haven't voted yet so (like Sergeant Schultz) "I see nothinggg..."

Is the v8 builder button different from the 7.5 (850) one? I haven't noticed any differences. In one of the last builds of 7.5 they added this great new "select item" dialog.

I just checked on a colleague's machine...  The build 850 builder button is the same as the v8 - so I can now vote...

Guess you will become a "pollinator" soon, Paolo.

Well, I guess I'll wait to see if Geert's poll is effective...

But I like the idea of being "pollinators"...

I can view the votes - using the View Votes button on the right - without voting myself. Maybe that is a privilege of being an EA Admin user?

You mean the button I can't see...  

BTW Roy...  Is there a reason this is the only category one can create polls in (as of this date)?

Can it be enabled in the others?

I don't know, but I'll ask around. There is a possibility this is a feature that has snuck out into general use when it should not have. If it was deliberately enabled, logically it should have gone into the Suggestions category rather than the Bugs (vote for a bug??).

That's been my suspicion.  But now it's here why not leave it?  It is reputedly a User forum...

Believe it or not Roy, the implication of reporting a bug in the Forum (I believe) is to hopefully garner support for its rectification.    

So the implication of a Poll for a Bug is that it is actually a vote for its rectification.

Since there doesn't seem to be any other easy method for the user base to let Sparx know about its preferences for bug fixes...  (There are preferences - since there are bugs I reported over 5 years ago that still haven't been fixed, so someone is making preferences)

Actually, I think a case could be made for all the categories to have polling enabled.  I might post a question (say in the General category) with multiple possible answers and solicit the user base's views on which f the options might be preferable.

Hope you don't mind that I started a poll for that. I read this post after having done so.
