Graph way out of whack...
Hi,
I got the Poll to work properly by renaming the directory to ultimatepollfree... seems it had to have that directory name. Now I have a lot bigger issue. The graph seems to be way out of whack. For some reason the graph percentages total a lot more than they should. For instance the top vote now has about 592% of the votes, with a couple hundred votes. It looks like it is multiplying by 100 or something. Any idea where to look to resolve this issue? I need help soon.
Thanks

Found the issue...
Hi,
I opened the database and set the IP address field to no duplicates. The problem is people can still vote multiple times and their votes are tabulated in the results table. This causes the vote results to be skewed and the graph to be way off. I can't find a way to prevent multiple voting with this software, and unfortunately have to look elsewhere. It would be great to implement an IP checking system so only one vote per IP was allowed. Currently if someone votes and clears their cache they can vote again, that is not acceptable in what I need, and certainly not very efficient.
Thanks

IP Capturing
I just thought I would let everyone know I was able to successfully capture the IP of the user and if they have voted they can not vote again. It is a round about way to do this but it works. Even if they clear their cache they can not vote again. It took some work but I finally figured it out. Great poll software now that I have IP Checking set up.
