Poll Won't Open?

[Petrolhead_Rich]

I can't open the Poll I have just created:

In The lounge, called "Best Lounge Thread Type"?!

Any Ideas???

I hit report on the "New Member" thread too to advise you of this.....

Hi Rich

Both the brainy fellows (Pete and Will) are elsewhere at the moment I'm afraid. I can't seem to find out the reason for the error, so all I can suggest is we let it die and you repost it again.

Pete will be around later so he will be able to help you further. Sorry.

No worries, might be because I put some / in the poll options???

Thanks for the reply, on a friday too!!!

Part of one of the speech marks around "Gallardo" had been cut off, breaking the page.

Speech marks break polls then? (Remembers not to quote anything in a poll....)

Not all speech marks, it was simply down to a quick in the way they are stored by the site. Before they are saved, it is necessary for the site to replace " characters with "

Normally this isn't a problem, but in your particular case this made the poll option longer than the available space in the box, resulting in the last one being trimmed to &quo which is what was breaking the page.

If the text was slightly shorter, or the speech mark was not the last character, then it would have worked fine.
