I have a userpage for that. I just wanted a longer joke in my signature. Whatever then.

No worries, every time the site gets a new feature the character count for signatures magically goes up too.

And, if there is still time, a way to see who votes for what on the polls?

1. That is not possible, nothing exists to display that.
2. That would be a terrible idea anyway. If voting weren't anonymous, people might be inclined to change their vote.

Yeah, you're right. That wouldn't be a good idea, and if it's not possible, I guess it's a REALLY bad idea.

1. That is not possible, nothing exists to display that.<SNIP>
I'm not sure if you're saying that it's not possible at all, or not possible on this specific forum, but I know it exists on other forums. They have that feature at sarcasticgamer.com, with a specific example here. I believe how it works there is that you can choose whether or not you want to display who voted for what when you create the poll. It can incline people to vote a certain way, but in some cases it is helpful, since it can give you some information about the users that is possibly useful. Not a big deal to me though.

Except that forum you linked to is obviously powered by VBulletin, not phpBB3 like this forum. They are different in their capabilities

Yeah, I see nothing in the phpbb3 control panel that would allow for it.
