A general tip to those that make polls: add an option for those that just want to see the result.

Especially if your poll is a survey type question, adding the option "I just want to see the results" the polls will be more accurate because otherwise to see the results they sometimes have to pick a random option rendering the poll itself worthless.

It would be nice if that option was a standard in any poll added automatically, but since that is not the case this is the only way to make your survey at least more representative of what the forum readers think.

Thanks upfront,

    Shame there is not a built in "View Results" button on public polls, but I totally agree.

    Maybe someone should make a poll about this :)

    That is indeed something I hope will change, until then it is up to those making the polls. It's a very basic thing to add, but sadly with many basic and simple things it is also something easily forgotten, which is why I made this small post. :smile:

    Usually there is a no opinion or other vote at the bottom.

    At least most polls should do this.

    Of course there are many that do add this option and I am glad they do, this topic is just to remind those that tend to forget to add the option to not forget it in the future.
