    What I mean is if one votes the wrong selection accidentally (though maybe I'm the only dimwit that does?), an ability to 'unvote' and then vote again as normal within, say, five or ten minutes, would be nice.
     
    That doesn't sound like a bad idea. But maybe something like, you click the vote button and then a box pops up asking you if you're sure you want to vote. Then you can double check to make sure you selected the right one. Either that or you could just be a little more careful when it comes to voting on polls. :P
     
    I don't like that idea.(No offense)



    It'd basically be unfair to everybody because MORE than ONE person will probably vote for the SAME THING over AND OVER again.


    I capitalized those things because I thought it would catch your attention of what I'm trying to say.



    It wouldn't be a fair poll,to summarize it up.

    I think you missed OP's point. You wouldn't get to revote and add a tally to each option over again... you'd be rescinding your old vote and voting again. There wouldn't be the option to cheat. :/

    Anyway! Unfortunately it's not within vBulletin's limits to do something like that. If it's just a poll and doesn't publically keep track of who voted for what (and you really care about accurate results), you could always ask a mod to edit the poll numbers for you, I suppose.

    what if your opinion changes in the future? you cant double check with what hasnt happened.

    i support this idea 100%
     
    Maybe you could do that with a plug-in. Similar to what another admin said when I submitted an idea of dual-group leadership.

    That isn't what the OP suggested. The OP suggested, and as did the member you quoted, that if you click the wrong one or whatever, not if you change your mind.

    would it not be used for the same purpose? so why even bring up that difference if it holds the same use for both? either way you would need to delete your vote and re vote. no difference in use.

    on top of that i never said it was what they suggested. i was just giving an example where this function would be useful.

    Funny how your all saying you either for it or against it when Erica already said that it wasn't possible. =P


    But it would be a helpful thing to have. I always make that mistake so don't feel bad, Cassino. But if I do make that mistake, I actually just leave it. I guess I'm to lazy to get the mod. =P
