More Poll Options
Hi,

I have been thinking about polls on the site recently and have had some ideas.

Polls are often used as voting platforms which close at a certain time. I can't guarantee I'm going to be online at the deadline, so it would be really useful to have an option to set a time and date that the poll closes. I can imagine this feature would enhance voting site-wide.

Now, I might be wrong on my second suggestion, but I don't think you can reset a poll. I know you can close a poll, but I don't think you can re-open it with the options reset. This feature would useful so that we can 'recycle' polls, i.e., have a poll for a contest and then just change the options and reset the scores. Is this possible?

My main request is the first one about setting closing dates.

Thanks
Matt
