For multiple selections polls, I found the percetage calculated is not reasonable. The following is an example, (don’t care the codes if you can’t read, they are Chinese characters)
The total voters are 19, but the percentage of the first option should be 13/19(voters)*100%, not 38% (13 votes/total votes*100%) shown above.
😀
LOL, I am a chinese but my chinese sucks =(
But isn’t it suppose to based on the total votes instead of total voters? I have no clue about that, does multiple poll system based on total votes or total voters?. I can include both percentage calculation as a template variable if preferred.
In my opinion, based on total voters is more reasonable for multiple selections. Think, 13 out of 19 voters prefer the top option, why the percetage is only 36%?
You made a point there, but the overall will not add up to 100%
Yes, that’s for sure, for multiple selections the sum will exceed 100%.

BTW, do you remember to add “total visitors” in useronline plugin? as I suggest in http://www.lesterchan.net/blogs/archives/2007/02/03/ads-on-this-site/#comments
😀
Regarding the multiple vote percentage, you made a point there. I will change it.
i am still finding out the most efficient way in doing that and not double counting it.
That sounds really cool!
You mentioned May 2k7 as a release date… At this point the date remains the same?
Good luck!
I am afraid not =(

Hello GaMerZ,
I download WP-Polls 2.20 RC1 and find you did not change the percentage issue discussed above. Or do I miss something?
did u reset all templates to default?
After reseting all templates, the percentage is the same as previous version. 2nd poll of http://ying.homedns.org/wp/polls/
yea, nothing wrong with it.
