    Polls not showing viewers properly

    I added a poll to your wsop 2012 forum. It has 2 votes [neither mine] but its only saying 1 view in total.
    I'm pretty sure I only allowed 1 vote per person, so it seems it isnt updating views properly.

    Or more appropriately, iys not possible to tell how many have actually viewed/voted without going back to the poll and checking.
    When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

    This has been asked about before I think, and its just as simple as the view count doesn't update very quickly or something. You'll sometimes see threads with no views and 2 or 3 responses. Doesn't mean anything at all.

    This is a "feature" of vBulletin.

    Apparently it has to run some process to count views, and this only happens once every half hour or something.

    I could increase the frequency, but it would add some load to the server and I don't think it's worth doing.
