We apologize for the instability of composr.app and appreciate your patience. We are working on the statistics addon and trying to find an optimal way to store and render data. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution that can handle the traffic (and therefore, tens of millions of statistical records) of composr.app. We're working hard on one.
Assigning to Salman, as likely/possibly involves JS. Right now the flow is it adds a topic as non-validated when you click the checkbox to add a poll, then it takes you to a screen to add the poll, and after that it attaches the poll and validates. It's a messy hack that I think I did originally as I didn't want to assume JS was on yet didn't want to do something technically complicated.
We agreed on Skype to keep the poll adding form on a separate page (to reduce clutter) but change it so that we add new topic and poll in one go instead of adding an unvalidated topic first.
