Well, I keep getting this message when I try to view the Addams Family vs. the Munsters poll:

Please try again. If you come back to this error screen, report the error to an administrator.

Ah, now I think I see - presumably it would be your new "OT: Which series do DS fans find more appealing?" poll.  ;)

I'll look into it as soon as I get a chance...

I'm pretty sure I've figured out what the problem is (it has to do with the collation definitions I'd mentioned in the "*** Big Changes Ahead ***" topic). But fixing it will require me to shut the forum down again to adjust some settings in the database tables that I didn't already work on, and I don't have the time to do that just yet. So, for time being it's probably best that no one start any new polls, which is why I'm going to disable the feature now. And adjusting the other tables may have to wait until I do the actual update to SMF 1.1. Sorry.  :(
