Huh, it will let me choose zero.

*logs into test account* *tinkers*

Hmm, you can. But you can't select less than 2 (only 1, or 2+) on a poll that requires 2+ - I think selecting zero is skipping the question and the poll will let you do that.

eta: I should add that in the FAQ, I think. That you can skip questions.

[azurelunatic]

So the wording for the "only one" needs to be changed, then, given that it seems intentional. I'm not at my usual computer or I'd be running to Bugzilla about now.

(I tossed it in Support: http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/see_request?id=8729)

[silverflight8]

To something like "You must choose more than "x" option, or skip the question"? Because it happens on the other responses - when I tried to select only one option on the two-option+ poll, it told me I had to either select 2+, or skip the question. I think this is just a corner case ;)

*reads your eta* Oh, OK.

[azurelunatic]

*pokes again*

Actually, I'm now convinced that EITHER a "must choose 1" should be an unskippable question, OR the open-upper-ended "must choose at least" option should start at 2. Which may mean fucking with UI.

[silverflight8]

...I was going to argue one side, but then now I realize both of them are equally valid. Although I'm still leaning towards "2+ is the lowest number"; I'd rather not have unskippable questions.

[azurelunatic]

So it should probably go to Suggestions, so there's a wide range of discussion on the pros/cons of each position so staff can decide which way to call it.

[silverflight8]

I'm already typing up a suggestions thing for something else (ack, editing comments) - does the moderation queue only take one per poster? (if you know).

[azurelunatic]

Five per poster. Happily.

[silverflight8]

Oh yay! I'll type it up, then - unless you want to.

I'm alligator dogsitting, & I'm up past my bedtime. You can!

*tries to imagine alligator-sitting and fails*

Sure, no problem! :)
