Can someone please confirm?

Poll voting successfully works on the official demo site:
http://demo.joomla.org
Which runs on 1.0.9 Stable


Are you sure you have enabled cookies in your browser?

I have upgraded my test server (hosted ) and the Poll vote worked ok for me. Tried FF, Opera and IE - All OK
php 4.4.2
joomla 1.0.9 stable upgraded

Yes just checked there. I have cookies enabled. And I can see that in firefox... Just uploading to live site and then will see is there working.

Working for me

Mysql 5.0.18
Php 5.1.1

It works nice on live site.

So it seams something is wrong with my locale version so its deleted and replaced with new one :-)

Thanks everyone.

I have the same problem with my upgraded 1.09 site, but not with a 1.08 site I have, and I am using the same browser, Opera, for both.

Same problem have 1.0.10

Add one more voice to the chorus of woe for those whom polling doesn't work with 1.0.10

Frustrating.

can you visit the joomla demo site and place a vote there?

Have you tried overwriting the j 1.0.10 files again? Several people have had issues where a file was not upgraded or missing when doing an upgrade.

The demo site worked fine (as do other sites I've installed).  I'll start overwriting files when I get the chance to do it in a controlled fashion (i.e. this is a hosted site...don't want to break it any more, accidentally).

I will note that commenting out a "return" in polls.php does stop the error, though it introduces the ability for users to vote way too often.  It isn't really a fix, but does point out an area for further experimenting when, again, I have enough time to look at it.
