The poll image appears to be too big for the amount of content it provides. Users viewing the poll have to scroll down a few times or even resize their window to fit the poll. This is also an inconvenience for users who just want to skip the poll and want to read the discussion. Perhaps an option for users in their user profile to set the poll display size or a compact version of the poll can be used instead.

Sounds reasonable. The poll bars are indeed quite fat.

I think the current poll bars are fine as long as the poll is restricted to 2 or 3 options, but once you get to a poll that has 5+ it starts to take up quite a lot of space.

I've rewritten the poll output to plain HTML and reduced the spacing a bit.

I think the new poll is sexy and clean. Nicely done.

This is probably the biggest poll: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=199090

and it used to look pretty ugly

Now it's nicer.

I like the new poll size. But I think the old header font was better. Using that font with the new graphics seems ideal to me.

Also, this:

It has occurred a couple times. But I'm sure it'll be fixed shortly.

I wouldn't mind if the poll said "A TL.net Poll:" instead of just "Poll:" just for old times' sake. But I love the new poll graphic! Thanks rich

The new poll graphic is awesome. I always got kinda annoyed when the poll options were too long and ended up getting chopped off the edge of the image.

I just wanted to pop in here and say that I love the new poll graphic! It's much less intrusive and very sleek. I think it fits the website much better.

I will mention it here so there's not multiple threads about the poll. Any thoughts on this thread about remembering your choices on the poll? I think it was a good idea and I was excited to see if it was implemented when I saw the new graphics. I'm somewhat disappointed that this wasn't the case.

I hate to be a hater / punk / jerk / I"M SORRY OK

but honestly, is there anyway we could make the polls even smaller?

when i'm looking at a recommended games thread, only 2 polls fit on my screen at a time. this is still too big imo!

It's ok if there's nothing else we can do, but i'm just wonderingggggggg

r1ch you are still my hero.

Does your mouse have a wheel? Hold down control and wheel back to reduce the page size.

If you don't have a mousewheel (O_O) then hold control and tap + or - .

It'll shrink the page, I hope that helps.

while i do know how to re size the page, it bothers me a LOT to have to do so, i frequently switch between windows, and the method you describe effects everything i have to open.

idk i want to be able to open and close a lot of polls and once, but it's hard T.T

i realize i'm just complaining.

I guess that only works to that extent, afterwards the words get really hard to read
It can be done but it has to be by the person making the poll I suppose
