AV Contest ! ANIS with Customary Bad Episodes
- Thread starter kalysto
- Start date
Welcome back!
Well, it may too late before you see this, but someone over in the TOS forum has an av contest poll set up as a single thread. Take a look. No idea how it was done.
Actually this is the only contest running seperate voting threads for the categories, any other series uses one poll for all three categories. It's rather simple: Just list all avatars/participants in the poll for every category*, and allow multiple votes. Then you make the poll public so you can validate that everyone just voted for the allowed number of avatars per category, and that's pretty much all.
Optionally you can show the avatars in the poll itself, but only if there are less than 20 (or 25 not sure at the moment) avatars, since there is the same limit that applies for normal posts.
* Something like that:
Episode - poster 1
Episode - poster 2
...
Episode - poster x
Theme - poster 1
and so on.
You can see a multi-category poll in here. The issues you run into with that one is that you can put the images in the poll, but then need to have a separate list with who's avs are who's. Also, there are people voting for the separators between categories, and once you make a mistake voting, that's it.
I went over to the test forum and played around a bit. One thing that I noticed is you have to create your poll after you get a chance to preview your post, so if you mess up the poll, there's no going back and fixing it.
No pressure or anything, you know.

Hate to be the bearer (sp?) of bad news, but the test forum is gone.
So you'll have to get it right the first time.
(If it's any consolation, I'm about to start my very first avatar contest poll in the TNG forum just about now, so I'm in the same boat.

Oh no!
Good luck, kalysto! Same thing with your poll, Defcon.

This is nearly what I went with, but I couldn't find screencaps! Great minds think alike.
