As of roughly the middle of the day yesterday 7/12 (US time), polls stopped displaying results. The effect can be seen on forum polls here also: Forum:Poll: Which web browser are you using now?

The particular polls I'm concerned about are at http://www.wikiality.com/Daily_Poll --Pro-Lick 23:20, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, TOR is working on this, although he's not around this weekend I think. I've done some testing and it's a widespread problem. So I've put it in our bug tracking system to make sure it doesn't get lost. I think we should hear more on this on Monday when TOR is back. -- Sannse 15:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Wanted to make sure the people that need to know are aware of it.--Pro-Lick 03:39, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

It appears to be working again with previous poll results restored. Only a quirk with Firefox showing [edit] (non-active) at the beginning of each question.--Pro-Lick 16:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

The poll at w:c:aselia:Template:Poll had the results restored as well, but the html doesn't format correctly.--Imaginationac (Talk | Edits | Email) 20:00, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the polls should be fixed and the previous results back. On the formatting, the [edit] is because you are using header tags on the questions, which the system thinks needs edits links. Try just bolding, or setting up a specific format for them.

The problem at aselia is similar, <a> is not an allowed tag on Mediawiki. You need to use [link label] or a plain link. If it was working before, then that was probably due to a problem with the poll code, it looks like formatting wasn't being processed normally for them. -- sannse (talk) 08:02, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
