I voted on Jenny's Bandwagonry (http://sw-fans.net/forum/showthread.php?t=16795) poll and it took me here!

Same results with Dani's bandwagon poll - takes you to an old poll posted by Dae Jinn.

Both old polls have been moved to the Admin forum, pending bug fixing.

So that's why I couldn't vote in them.

They don't have the same thread ID.

I tried deleting the poll in the 'mirror' thread that I posted in the OP, and it deleted the poll in Jenny's thread as well.

Ogre we need help. :p

I'm not going to have enough time to research the issue until tomorrow, maybe, hopefully. You can try to research some on your own at the vbulletin.com forums in the meantime.

It sounds like there is an issue with poll IDs duplicating.

Okay, I spent a few minutes looking into it. It appears there was an import issue of some kind from what I can tell. I remember imported polls being broken, and it now appears that fact is coming back to haunt us. A commercial or public fix is not currently available. I will have to attempt it manually most likely, which I definitely do not have time for now.

Should I just go delete all the old, broken polls, maybe?

That would probably fix it.

I think I got them - if it pops up again I'll just delete the offending cross-over threads.

Everyone will have to resubmit their poll threads from yesterday though, as the polls are gone after I deleted the old poll threads they were mingling with.

I'm closing the threads with the broken polls.
