Important Forum Question

[Dizzy]

Just a quick question and please reply....

 

Does anyone on here use the forum topic/posts 'notification' facility which can send an email, or whatever your chosen method of notification was, to you if a specific topic you are 'watching' gets new comments and you are offline or if a new topic is added under a specific section you are 'watching'?

 

If so is it currently working ok for you and are you receiving notification ? (Currenly meaning over the past 4 days)

 

Thanks Dizz

I don't use the notification method as I enjoy coming on to the forum to see what is going on, perhaps because I am retired (and a sad old git) it helps keep me occupied.

[Dizzy]

I don't use it either for similar reasons... although I'm not retired (obviously) but am a sad and nosey gitess with too much time on my hands these days.

 

I really need to find someone who actually uses it though..... anyone ?

[Eagle]

Don't use it.

[Dizzy]

So why didn't you vote then ?... or was it Algy who didn't vote.

 

I should have specified that ADMIN and MODS are not allowed to vote cos I need to know from real people

[algy]

I checked the relevant box, so I suppose I must have voted.

[Dizzy]

As I suspected... Eagle why didn't you vote (or have you now as it's gone up)

 

On a poll the creator can't see who votes for what if that is what you are all worried about

[Geoffrey Settle]

I don't have a problem using this facility and find it very useful because I like to keep track of what is happening on a thread.

 

The only problems I have are remembering to switch it on and the random slowness of my PC - these issues are nothing to do with the feature.

[Bill]

I don't use it either but I did tick the relevant boxes.

 

What's the prize and when's the winner announced?

Is it compulsory to vote in a poll? As a matter of interest I did vote in this one since it seemed a reasonable question, I don't even read the garbage polls from the resident Gallop.

[Dizzy]

It's compulsory to vote in mine Eagle

 

The prize is.... well you will just have to wait and see Bill

Doesn't work for me and I've voted - look forward to my prize Dizzy

I have just tried to vote. I selected "I have never used it" then pressed "vote". I got an error message saying "you must cast your vote in each question of the poll"

[Eagle]

I have just voted again that I never use it and to avoid getting an Error Message I voted to say I get notifications when I use it. Work that one out!

[Dizzy]

Goodness me it's not rocket science Victor... that's why I had to put N/A in the bottom question.

 

However you have actually used it for about an hour as you were my guinea pig remember? (but it didn't actually work for you). As that was a while ago and only temporary you should of course still click that you never use it

 

As for yours Eagle.. trust you It does just shows that multi question polls (or indeed questionaires) and the statistics gained from them can easily be misleading or manipulated eh

[Victor]

My head hurts !!!!

[Legion]

You've missed off the most important question.

 

"Do you have a Toshiba TV?"

[fugtifino]

No, I'm not that desperate just yet.

[fugtifino]

Such an approach can lead to this:
