Dave, would it be terribly difficult to create a hack that would automatically make a copy of a poll when it's posted? (Huh? ) What I mean is, it definitely cuts down on the time for generation on the IIP to have all the polls in one forum. But with users posting polls in lots of forums, that means we either have to forego the pollspal or move the polls to the polls forum (that would be a chore!) But if, when a user posted a poll, it automatically could be copied to the polls forum (and the original would be left in the forum it was posted in) it would solve the problem. Unfortunately that sounds very complicated.
What about just the location of the poll being copied to a location? Like when a person makes a poll it automatically copies the thread number to a file, so that the IIP would only have to pull the information from that file, and not query the whole database. Would that make it as quick as having the polls in the same forum?
If you are just shaking your head at this point you can say so. I can live with a "you can't get there from here" answer.
