Make Live chart in a different window
Instead of a full screen version, I'd like to have the poll results look like a picture-in-picture window in the corner of the screen while the audience is looking at another window behind it. It allows for a more frequent changing of questions, while keeping the same generic answer choices.

Ranking / rating polls
I want to be able to capture answers to 'ranking' questions like, "Identify your top three choices of colour for the new office" and then have people place a preference on the ones they like. E.g. a completed answer sheet would be:
Options Rank
A. Red [ 3 ]
B. Blue [ ]
C. Yellow [ 1 ]
D. Green [ 2 ]
E. Orange [ ]The variables are:
- The number of options available
- The rating 'direction' (1 is high or 1 is low)
- The number of choices that must be made (minium)
- The number of choices that can…

Average
I would like to be able to have students judge/rate an item (like a presentation) on a scale of 1 to 5 (or similar). I would like poll everywhere to be able to give me an average to one decimal point.
Thank you6 votesThis is completed! Any paid user has access to the “Reports” tab, and the normal report can calculate averages both for Multiple Choice Polls that have numeric options, as well as for free-form numeric answers from Free Text Polls.

Wordpress.com
I'd like to be able to embed a poll in a Wordpress.com blog.
2 votesHi Chris,
Our embedded charts use Javascript which is a little tough to use on Wordpress, but there are ways around it. Here’s a good article: http://www.thatdanny.com/2008/07/18/how-to-embed-javascript-into-wordpress-posts-the-easy-way/

Mailing List
I am a technology integration teacher and would like to be informed of changes to the site when they happen. I didn't see you on Twitter and can't find a way to sign up for a newsletter or e-mail.
1 voteHi Mike,
Make sure you don’t have us going to spam! If you’re the same mike with the email moberdick@sey … you’re actually already signed up! You can always follow updates on twitter (@polleverywhere) or our blog (blog.polleverywhere.com) as well.
Was there a particular change that surprised you?

Can you make it so pictures, images, equations and LaTeX can be added into the question?
I see that I can add pictures in for the responses. But, there isn't a way that I see where I can and and pictures into the question. Is it possible to do this?
104 votesA while back you asked if it was possible to insert an image into a question. Well….
We just created a new feature to add images to poll questions! On any Multiple Choice Poll you can add an image along with the question. This will be on the Instructions View. To add the image you can do the following:1. Open your multiple choice poll
2. Click on the visual settings icon. This is the grey button that looks like a paintbrush
3. Click on the Instructions tab within Visual Settings
4. And, click on the blue Choose button to add an image. That’s it!

I would like to be able to set default voting options on my account and have them applied to each poll, rather than being required to set them for each poll one by one

I'd like to be able to change typefaces.
I'm a graphic design professor. I like your service, but the ability to customize is a bit limited. I'd like to be able to change typefaces, and type sizes.

make your slide downloadable to open office or libre office
Our school recently stopped using PowerPoint and moved to all open source. This year we are using Open Office, next year we will move to Libre. It would be great if you can make your slides downloadable to the Open Source versions of PowerPoint.

We actually have found a solution described here:

Allow the question to have multiple lines (so parts can be on new lines)
When I type in a question and hit return it ends the questions. I would like to be able to put white space in the question.
1 voteHi!
By white space I assume you mean a line break?
After creating a question you can add line breaks by entering the poll’s edit menu and adding a \n where you’d like the line break to be.
See here for more details: http://blog.polleverywhere.com/line-breaks-within-poll-titles

instructions on how to add a code
I am struggling to see how to add a code so that it can be used for voting via Twitter for example. Thank you for looking into this. Chrissi
1 voteHi Chrissi,
The code used to vote with twitter is the same code you use to vote via text message.
To enable a poll to receive twitter responses simply click the check-box next to “tweets” under the “how people can respond” menu. THis menu is to the right of the chart when viewing an individual poll.

Different languages
It would be great if it could support Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc for the second language classroom.
22 votesHi!
Thanks for requesting better foreign language support in Poll Everywhere. We’re happy to say it’s working great for lots of complex languages with Unicode characters well supported! Man, it wasn’t easy.
If you’ve been with us a while, you just need to make sure you opted in to our HTML5 charts. New users are automatically opted-in.

I would like to be able to change the order of the polls
When the polls are in a group and a survey is made, I cannot change the order of the questions. It would be nice to be able to order the questions as I would like them to be asked.
2 votesGreat idea!
This is already possible by hovering your mouse over a poll on the “my polls” page. You will see a double arrow icon appear to the left. Click on the arrow and drag the poll to where you would like to put it.
