Allow to set poll options in general settings
I need to change the setting for each poll I create for "who can participate", "how people can participate" etc. It would be good if I could set my preferences in my settings.

expand the quesion writing box
When I write a long question I cannot read what I have written, only the first and last lines.
7 votesThis problem shouldn’t be an issue with the new poll creator layout.

Also make SMART Board templates and Promethean Board templates that can be inserted into their respective software.
It would be great to be able to download pages/slides that work in the Promethan Board pages of ActivInspire or the SMART's Notebook 10 software.
2 votesYou can do this in ActivInspire! http://blog.polleverywhere.com/good-news-for-promethean-activboard-and-activ/

Please put a 'start post' button in presenter view (fullscreen)
My students tend to start voting while I'm still busy explaining the question, so I only open up Web voting (press 'start poll') for them when I'm finished. Unfortunately, this requires me to switch from fullscreen to the editing screen continuously, which is distracting for the students. Should be pretty easy to do I'm guessing, and we'd be helped enormously. Love your software, as do my students at Inteacrive media Amsterdam.

Have a "poll dial" option like they do in presidential debates
Where each user can adjust their own stance and a visual shows their changes.
2 votesWe’ve released an early version of our dial test for use on mobile devices. You can try it out by going to edge.pollev.com/#activities on an iPhone or Android (make sure to login).

Powerpoint option
You currently have the option to hide the results on the website and even to download the hidden poll view to powerpoint. I think it would be easier, though, if when I click to download to a powerpoint, it would automatically download both views instead of having to download the poll twice (once from each view).

allow sub/super scripts
As a chemistry teacher, I would like to include subscripts or superscripts in my multiple choice questions. It would be nice to have some sort of formatting options to help my students understand what I am asking of them.

add Metro PCS!
Send a letter to Metro PCS so that Metro users can send the 5-digit code messages--right now your service is blocked, and so are many of my students!

create instructions for incorporating PE into existing PP presentations.
Many textbook suppliers provide PP slides that are ready to accept input from audience participation systems. I would like to be able to integrate student responsed into the existing PP slides, but don't know how to do this and can't seem to locate instructions for doing this.
Thanks,
Dave Jones1 voteHi Dave,
Have you tried downloading a poll to PowerPoint yet? To do this click the “download as slide” menu when viewing a poll from the website.
We include instructions in the downloaded PowerPoint file. (Hint: You can copy and paste the poll from the dwonload into an existing PowerPoint presentation!)
Happy polling!

Sort the registered participants list
Click on the column title to sort the participant list by that field. Or at least sort them alphabetically! It is not clear how they are sorted now. For a large class this is very difficult.
6 votesHappy to say you can now sort participants list by first name, last name, email, and all sorts of other fields!

Allow bulk selection of polls.
I've just finished creating 22 groupings, each with about 25 polls in them. Man is my clicking finger tired. It would be great to be able to do a ctrl + scroll or something like that.
Thanks in advance,
Tim.2 votesYou can now bulk select polls by selecting all polls in a group or the ungrouped section by clicking the checkbox to the right of a group title or by using the “select” links at the top.
You can also edit multiple polls at once using the “edit multiple” button. More info here: blog.polleverywhere.com/edit-multiple-polls/

Allow groupings to be moved up and down (reordered).
I'd like to be able to put my groupings in roughly alphabetical order, or n sections by topic, rather than just the order they were created in.
Thankyou,
Tim.4 votes
