A look at singleforest.com: polls

I've been getting a lot of work done on singleforest.com. I've got a week left to add features before I start tracking down bugs and getting my server ready for an August 30th deployment. 

Today I finished creating polls. I wasn't going to have polls as a feature to start with but they where so easy to create I figured, why not? (Still took two days...)

This is what a poll looks like. 

Monday_bad_poll
Nothing too fancy. It works though. One design note: I wanted people to be able to see what the current votes are before they decide what to vote.

Here's what it looks like when you click vote!

Monday_that_bad_voted
The asterisk tells you what you voted on and the green bar below the main navigation tells you that your vote has been saved.

And for a bonus, you can optionally make polls that allow people to vote on multiple answers!

Multiple_votes_poll
As you can see, there are two asterisks on this one. You also get a preview of fully functioning editable comments.

Here's a bonus screen shot of that comment's edits.

I've been very busy. :)
