Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i attribute the lack of votes to the whole disappearing post incident and this poll only being open for a day. still, best choice won IMO and someone should send that shit in

what a disaster for 1p3 (k3vin k.), Sunday, 21 June 2009 01:05 (sixteen years ago)

huh, my vote didn't show up for some reason. i liked cobblestones! but i do agree that a day was too short a time to open the poll.

can't even see the poll options?

(pronounced /ˈfɑrv/sklOf/tO/fewˈ/) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 21 June 2009 14:30 (sixteen years ago)

mods can't see this poll, probably because an image was posted in the question text

HIS VAGINA IS MAKING HIM CRAVE SALAD. (HI DERE), Sunday, 21 June 2009 14:44 (sixteen years ago)

I'm not an ILE mod.

(pronounced /ˈfɑrv/sklOf/tO/fewˈ/) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 21 June 2009 14:57 (sixteen years ago)

Okay, this is weird; did somebody make me a mod when I wasn't paying attention? Because now I have mod options on the poll start but not on the responses.

(pronounced /ˈfɑrv/sklOf/tO/fewˈ/) (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 21 June 2009 14:59 (sixteen years ago)

all sub-board admins have the same problem, regardless of the board you mod

it's not all pictures, either

ADDRESS the drag has the best chance of winning imo

I've never heard of a single one of those blogs. (Matt P), Sunday, 21 June 2009 16:16 (sixteen years ago)

Sorry about this poll apparently being a mess. I've been out of town/camping/rafting all week, and I only had a few minutes of computer time, during which I quickly threw this poll together. What was the problem with disappearing images?

I think it's a particular browser setting.

Now you lot know how frustrating it is when the title and first post gets plastered with ampersands, for those ofyou unaffected!

Mark G, Monday, 22 June 2009 07:12 (sixteen years ago)

forks, do you have images turned off on ILX? There's a problem with polls containing both a link and an image for people who have images turned off in their ILX settings. Just an image seems fine, just a link seems fine, but both at once screws things up for some reason. I have to turn on images in ILX Preferences to see this poll properly.

(here is where I go on and on about it on Mod Request)

Though I don't get any mod options so I guess yr mod-of-other-board thing is a different problem entirely.

see, grant money & publishing was the path to win on the mice cartoon

have a feeling that some 'don't ask don't tell' variation will be finalist for this one

鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 22 June 2009 15:03 (sixteen years ago)

That is some bullshit. I'm going to copy those 3 official nominations over to the main NYer caption thread.
