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.

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/

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.

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.

Yes! Hover over the group title (it may say “new group”) and click the edit button. This will enable you to change the group name and session keyword (if on a plan that supports custom keywords). Simply click save after editing and you’re all set!

increase the number of student responses posssible in free account
30 responses limits my use of this application. I only have tried to use everywhere poll twice, but both times, I found out I could not poll the entire class. I think at least 50 is needed, but 100 would be great. Seems like this would get more advertising out for you.
2 votesFree accounts permit 40 responses per poll now!

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.

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).
