Suggestion Increase the number of options in poll?

[DennisN]

Hi!
I was about to start a poll with 39 choices, but it seems the forum system allows max 20.

Is it possible to increase the number of poll options, perhaps? To 40 or 50, perhaps?

The reason I ask is because I and other PF'ers would like to vote on 39 nominated movies.
For more info, please see this post.

Cheers!

That's a LOT of movies! Instead of increasing the number of choices, maybe it would be better to create a couple of polls based on genre? Can you really rate best science fiction against best romantic comedy or best western, etc...?

Yeah, we've had the nominations and discussion going for a couple of weeks .

It's a good idea. I thought briefly of splitting the poll into two polls, but I was uncertain what the others thought of it and the associated overhead for me and other voters (the overhead may not be very much, though).

No, I agree with you, I don't think such a rating would work so well.
The poll is not intended to rate movies, the intention is to get a list of the most liked movies on PF.

Well, once you get favorites from a couple of categories, you can then combine those FAVORITES into one. Whittle them down.

Hi again, @Evo , I have two polls that are in desperate need of your votes (if you want to participate):

VOTE PF Favorite Movies Poll 1 - Drama, Thriller & Action
VOTE PF Favorite Movies Poll 2 - SF, Fantasy, Comedy & Western

Cheers!
