Desired Polling Feature
The feature I'd like to see instituted in the Post a Poll feature would be the inclusion of the time the poll is cheduled to end. (Even cooler would be a countdown feature...)

In situations like elections for the demogames, this can be crucial information. (The poster does not always mention the number of days a poll will be open, so looking up the time of the first post is not necessarily informative.)

Prior to demogames, it was seldom that any Poly poll even received an end date. Now they are the norm, with election and game outcomes at stake.

Whattya think, Markos?

Doesn't it say: "This poll will close in X days" at the bottom of them.

I can't be sure, but I think I've seen that before.

MarkG is a Golden God!!!!!



(Offered a fine-tune suggestion on the linked thread.)

Truly, there is no other site I know of where this could happen.
Thank you, Markos!

Less than 5 hours from a user's random musings to system upgrade.

Incredible!
