| Title | polls: something is wrong |
| Status | Completed |

| Addon | polls |
| Description | When a user clicks on the link "view results", the button "vote" disappears and so you can't vote no more.
After that the following is in the database table "cms5_f_poll_votes" : pv_poll_id | pv_member_id | pv_answer_id 44 | 20 | -1 The " -1 " is wrong. When I deleted the row, the user can vote again. AND NEXT: Despite I ticked off "view results before the poll ends" every user can see the results before voting. Something is wrong there I think. Best regards Falko |

This is actually as designed. If you view results, it will alert confirming you will "forfeit" your vote, asking if whether to proceed. This is because often people will see the results before voting for whatever is winning, to try and "fit in", i.e. skewing results.
I think the permission you're referring to is "View poll results before voting" (maybe something got lost in translation). That is also an Conversr polls permission, i.e. for polls in forum topics.
I have tested it again and no alert appeared.
So you are going to sleepwalk into the "trap" and can't vote no more.
