Question re polls

Mags, when you say the poll will close on a given day, what time does it close? I've just come on to have a look and find there is already a winner.

Re: Question re polls

Ania when the Poll is posted it will the show the date and time it will close at the top of the Poll itself. It automatically closes the poll at the time shown (which is exactly the time the poll was posted), I don't have to close it

A message will then automatically appear at the bottom of the Poll showing how many members voted and "This poll is closed".

Thanks Mags. I had sort of presumed it was midnight but now understand how it works.

To have it close at midnight I would have to post it at midnight .... I'm not always around at that time
