-
- VBBS' Voting Booth allows you to present your users with
- a perpetual survey in which they can "vote" on particular issues
- you define. Frequently-asked questions deal with political can-
- didates, which online games should be registered/discontinued,
- reasons for calling the BBS, how users first heard of your BBS,
- how they like changes you've made, etc.
-
- When you select this option from the VCONFIG Main Menu,
- you will see a scrolling window containing the questions them-
- selves. To select a question for editing, move the highlight
- bar to the correct entry and press [Enter]. The question and
- its responses will then be available for editing.
- To add a new voting question, press [F1] at the scrolling-
- window screen. You may then type in a question and supply up to
- eight responses from which your users may choose.
- The poll results are displayed as the number of users
- choosing a particular answer, along with the percentage of the
- total number of votes each choice received.
-
- In the default START.V, if new questions exist, when a
- user logs on, she is given the opportunity to vote. If the user
- is up to date with the survey, the voting questions are ignored.
- You may use option [D] from Screen Three of the MAIN configura-
- tion to disable this automatic checking if you wish (see p. 15
- for details).
-
- There are several VSCRIPT-based voting programs avail-
- able, any of which may be used in lieu of the default voting
- procedures.
