• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Remember not to have hyperlinks to polls. Many sites will edit out votes if a sizeable portion come from one forums, etc.
How would the site know from where a person clicked

Handy little thing MS came up with many, many years ago. Any page you click on can tell what browser and OS you're using, what your IP is and the last page you were on (the referring page). IIRC, it was originally designed to help advertisers determine where the most clicks were coming from.

Here, this page will show you all the info that's available to any server whenever you click on a web page. Not all use the info, but it's all available! Surf smart!
