Thanks for the review, at present if you close a poll, then it just shows the results, but I take your point. We will take a look at it and see what we can do. Cheers Lenny. Hi Folks,

But, once you refresh the page, you have to click "view results" if you want to see the updated total. Thanks for voting :) I should have been more specific- after you vote, it will show the results.
