Hmmm are you sure you have the options set in the admin panel of IIP??
should set under
CURRENT POLL
Poll Board's keyword. If not specified the very last approved post with a poll in it will be used.
Note: Specifying a board to use rather than leaving blank will improve page generation times.
Display a random poll? 1=yes 0=no
Note: Selecting 0 will improve speed.
Ignore polls in sticky posts? 1=yes 0=no
Note: If you don't intend on having sticky posts in the poll board then setting this to 0 will impove page generation times.
Who can see polls? 0=everyone 1=only registered users
Who can vote on polls? 0=everyone 1=only registered users
