Thanks, Keith!

I should add Pat Buchanan as an option (e.g., "Pat Buchanan is way more punk than Nirvana"). (xp)

Link in poll text + image in poll text (not necessarily in poll options - in fact I think these are ok if there isn't an image in the main poll question) = poll is broken for images-off people and mod logins (including mods of other boards?)

Yes, I've figured it out - it's something like that, spacecadet.

It's because it's trying to remove image links - long and complicated story, but if you put a normal link, followed by some images (possibly in the poll options) followed by a normal link, it's recognizing this entire chunk, from start to finish as an image link and removing it.

I've made a change to the expression that spots image links that should stop this happening. Need to test it a bit and then I'll stick it up - it should sort this problem retrospectively, i.e. all the older broken polls should suddenly look OK, if I've fixed it correctly.

Cheers.

By the way here is a very dull post I made on this subject, which is mostly of no use since you've already figured it out, but it does have a couple more examples if they're any use for testing

Great - thanks.

Oh and sorry - must've missed that back then.

OK, looks better so far, but please let me know if there's anything odd.

Thanks.

Looking good here - thanks Keith!
