Vote-O-Rama On-Line Help File
[SPACE] To Abort Display
- Seeing How Everyone Voted
[L]ist Questions/Results - The first menu option does exactly what it
says. Choosing this will list out all current voting questions, and
allow you to select one to view the voting results of.
Questions are listed one after the other, with:
(*) an asteric next to question that have not been voted on by you,
(+) a plus sign if you have voted, but multiple votes are allowed,
(-) and a minus sign if a question is marked for deletion. Questions
marked for deletion will more than likely be removedin a few
days.
If a voting question was created "in response to" another question, that
question number it is responding to will be displayed underneath the
question.
- How To Vote On Questions
[V]ote On Questions - This option will allow you to select a question
to vote on. Questions are listed in the same manner as when listing the
questions to see the results.
After selecting the question to vote on, the question and its responses
will be displayed. If you have already voted on that question, your
choice will be highlighted from the rest of the list.
A prompt will be shown with different options on it. You may either
enter:
a number to choose as your vote,
'99' - to add your own response if allowed,
[K] - to mark a question for deletion if you created it,
[R] - to create a new voting question in response to the current one
if you are allowed to create new questions, and
[Q] - to quit voting and return to the list of questions prompt
- Scanning Questions You Haven't Vote On
[S]can Questions Not Voted - Allows you to scan through the questions
that you have not yet voted on. This option does not list the questions
out in a list, but instead displays each question with a prompt.
You may either vote on each question, or skip them. You will get
basically the same prompt as displayed as when you are voting on a
question while scanning, except for the [ENTER] to skip a question.
Skipping a question will tell Vote-O-Rama not to mark your vote, and
continue scanning through the rest of the available voting questions.
- Adding New Questions
[E]nter A New Question - Assuming the sysop is allowing users to add
questions, this option will be displayed. Choosing this, will allow you
to create a new question. The maximum number of questions per voting
area is 999.
You will be be asked their question, and then a few questions, including
if they wish to have your name associated with this question. Answering
yes to that question will place the line <your name> Asks: above the
question. For example:
"John Doe Asks:"
After answering all questions, you will be prompted for available
responses. The minimum number of responses is 2, and the maximum is
dependent on what the sysop has configured Vote-O-Rama to allow.
- Quitting The Program
[Q]uit To BBS - This option will allows you to quit Vote-O-Rama and return
to the bbs. If you wishe, you may leave a one-line message to the next
voter. Vote-O-Rama will ask if you are sure you want to exit before
leaving the program.
