I knwo you guys have better things to do. But I totally screwed up the poll on this thread: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=138983
happpened to me the other week, the poll dissappeared, i posted a new poll opn there and i had 6 answers rather than the 3 i wanted...
It happens when you try to edit the topic post in a poll .. I don't think the mods can fix it (usually they don't even try).
Best solution is to delete the poll and start over.
