| | | | | (...) Cool! I was wondering how you made those polls available to make. I just took a look at the poll creation page, and it seems to be very easy to do. Thanks for sharing this with us! <<_Matt Hein_>> (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.general)

One thing I'm particularly concerned about is whether the issue of duplicates in the case of ties for the 'rank' type poll is clear or not. (...) Oh, my pleasure!!! This is (...)

Or let me try that question another way, is there a way to tell FTX "don't exceed a certain width for the next thing, word wrap if you need to"... if you look at the current (...)

Do I have control (on the front page of a group) over how the posts on the right are laid out??? I didn't think so. (22 years ago, 12-Aug-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.curators)
