Now for some reason the poll on my home page lists all the questions and the percent answers, but has no links to vote! And this is on the Admin's page! What did I do wrong?? Eek!

I'm assuming you voted in the poll.
From the FAQ:
In order to prevent manipulation of polls (or at least make it harder), Geeklog does two things when you vote:
1. It stores a cookie
2. It stores your IP address

HTH,

Chuck
Too many hands on my time.

Thanks; I'll check that by creating a new user and see if the poll is again accessible.

It won't. You need to try from a different IP address.

Hmmm. What if I have two users from the same home, sharing an Internet connection but each with different user names? Only one can vote in the Poll?
