Wen polls in replies/comments?
I‘ve already delivered a few viable arguments for this to convince Khal. Others, including @taskmaster44550le, think it‘s a good idea also, especially concerning threadcasts.
An example i was thinking about again just now would be a photo series in a threadstorm / photostorm, and every photo could be voted on while keeping the series in one place … 🖖🏼👁🤙🏼
I agree. This needs to be a feedback.
Although people are not even using polls at the top level so I have a feeling it is going to be a tough sell.
Once again, people want stuff but they do not even use what is here.
I‘m seeing polls here and there, not in masses, but regularly. I want it because i want to use it and i know a few others, including you, who would surely use it also. threadcasts and threadstorms are the main use cases for this …
I think there is great value in it and provides a great deal of utility to threadcasts especially.
My agreement is complete with you on this. However, knowing how Khal looks at things, we might get a differing viewpoint especially in lieu of resource management.
An alternate way to achieve this that is likely to require a lot less dev-work, is to make polls show up in re-threads. So that instead of this (pretend that both of these are re-threads, and not screenshots):
You'd get this:
If this was the case, you would achieve the same result, and I do believe it would be a lot easier for the team to implement.
🤔 that would still mean i have to top level thread each photo (for example) with a poll and then copy the link to this thread into my threadstorm/cast and then it‘s still not given that the poll is fully functional and not just an image you have to click on to get to the original to vote and hope the vote is reflected back into the re-thread … that‘s massively overcomplicated imo!
My suggestion takes for granted that polls are fully functional when rethreaded. If that's not the case, then it would be no point of course. I don't think it's massively overcomplicated to post a poll in Latest and then rethread it though
but that‘s exactly the point … i don't want to have the photos of a series flying around individually and then again as links in another thread(storm) … i‘d like them as a unit in a threadstorm
re-threads are practically just image-buttons linking to the original thread, making this work maybe the same effort than just make polls work everywhere
(or maybe limit it to threads with the tags threadcast/threadstorm)
But re-threads are not just images, they are just as interactive as the original thread – with the exception of polls of course. Take videos as an example; fully viewable in rethreaded format. It would be ideal if it worked the same for polls

I see your point though, and just to be clear I'd be happy with either implementation variation. Bottom line is I want to see polls under top-level threads too
I would like to see rethreads work with polls. I am not sure of the technical details that go with it.
Somehow I bel;ieve it would be easier to implement this rather than making polls work on thread replies, but who knows
ah ok, i see 👍🏽
