As far as I know, only if the OP puts a "Close" date on the poll. Otherwise, anytime somebody responds, the thread is coming right to the top
Maybe the mods can edit the OP to put an end date to the polls....
Its just annoying to me. I may be the only one and that's OK.
End dates prohibit people from voting in the polls thereby bumping the thread. As long as the thread is open, though, comments can still be posted which can bump it.
An admin would have to see about modifying the software to stop threads from being bumped based solely on someone voting in the poll of an open thread.
I know exactly what you're talking about. It's annoying to me, too. Not enough to start a thread about it....but annoying.
The good thing about it though, is that someone voting bumps the thread, then ladies that haven't seen it before go into the thread and vote and post their comments as well. Which allows the OP to have more responses to possible questions. There have been a couple of threads/polls that I've had that allow more ladies to give their perspective because someone voted and bumped it. So, there's a plus, too.
And you will not make fun of me for being so annoyed that I HAD to start a thread.
Thanks for offering a different perspective. I agree with you. I'll have to think about that after I when I rush to a thread to see what the last response was only to be fooled by the poll bumping.
