Polls service restored!


Polls should be working for everybody now. Sorry it took a little while to figure out the problem. But it is finally fixed.

Please let me know if it is not working for you.

Thanks Vish.  I should be able to put up the voting for the last caption game, using the the AOL poll then.  I will do so tonight or tomorrow morning then!  Thanks for letting us know!

Yes, Krissy the AOL Poll widget should work. Problem was that they replaced some hardware but forgot to change the settings on the hardware so that people from the outside could access the Polls product.

Internal people like myself could (as it was set for internal access), so it always worked for me:(

Again, apologies for the inconvenience..

I don't know if the poll itself is working but what I do know is any journal with a poll when you go it takes you the journal and then rather quickly changes to a page with just the poll.  Sometimes you have to go back a few times to see the journal as well as the entry with the poll.

Marie,
You might want to clear cache and cookies in the AOL client before trying again.

My name is Bettejo Dux. I wrote a column Words From the Slow Lane. Took a long vacation, wrote a book. Would like to get back but the system is different and I can't seem to ad an entry. Can you help me? Please Bettejo

I got back to my columns, that was easy. Started a new column today, Sept. 18, saved it, can't seem to find it and don't know how to use AIM to enter it. It's me, Bettejo Dux. My column is WORD FROM THE SLOW LANE. Please help me

Hi Bettejo,
Maybe you forgot to save your entry? I do not see any new entries on your blog

It's still not working right. The first thing that comes up is an old poll. You might want to call India for some more tech help.

Just wanted to let you know, Vish, that AOL is still having trouble with the polls.  When I go to Magic Smoke, it quickly switches over to an old poll.  That is all that shows on the front page of Magie Smoke.  A poll, no entry, no photo.  Argh, LOL.
I have cleared cache and cookies, so please don't make that suggestion!  I have cleared and cleared!  Cleared footprints.  Cleared cache, cleared cookies, cleared history, cleared out my closet (no there were no skeletons in there!).  Seriously, I cleared!  Please can AOL fix?
