Title:
Poll result display
Area:
Polls
Summary:
Make 100% display width uniform between different questions in the same poll.
Description:
Now the poll results display bars where the most common response for each question is the same width for each question. If there were 3 questions each with 4 options you might get:
1 a --------------------- 100
1 b - 0
1 c - 0
1 d - 0
2 a --------------------- 25
2 b --------------------- 25
2 c --------------------- 25
2 d --------------------- 25
3 a ------- 15
3 b --------------------- 50
3 c ----------- 25
3 d ----- 10
I think it would be more visually understandable if the maximum percentage in the whole poll was used to set the display width. Like so:
1 a --------------------- 100
1 b - 0
1 c - 0
1 d - 0
2 a ------ 25
2 b ------ 25
2 c ------ 25
2 d ------ 25
3 a ---- 15
2 b ----------- 50
2 c ------ 25
2 d --- 10
It might be an option when setting up the poll if some prefer it as it is.
Sorry if this has been suggested before; I can't tell since search is down. I think it still gets my point across even with proportional fonts. My pre tags - poor pre tags.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
20 (40.8%)
Should be implemented with changes. (please comment)
5 (10.2%)
Shouldn't be implemented.
5 (10.2%)
(I have no opinion)
18 (36.7%)
(Other: please comment)
