Cannot delete polls

Whenever I click "Delete poll" from Poll Admin Options, it asks me, "Are you sure you want to delete this poll and all its comments?" I click yes and a blank page shows up and the poll isn't deleted.

(Well, the actual poll is "gone" but the poll section is still there and you can still see the poll icon to the thread.)

Check your system wide cache for the polls module, try setting it to no cache and see if your problem persists.
sysadmin=>preferences=>very bottom...
hope that was it.

did you add this poll via newbb or via polls admin?

And can you describe in a bit more detail:
(Well, the actual poll is "gone" but the poll section is still there and you can still see the poll icon to the thread.)

also, have you enabled debugging
sysadmin=>preferences=>general settings
debug options dropdown menu...try phpdebug first.

I'll be on for a few..

The poll was added view newbb...

Okay, in a bit more detail: The pollis deleted (question and votes) but you can still see the button "vote" on top of the thread and the little poll icon (Resized Image is still visible when you are viewing the category in which the thread is in.

And I've just tried enabling debugging but I just ended up getting a few errors.

Well you may get varied opinions on this but:

My poll functions in newbb2RC2 just don't work right. I have mentioned this to dev team, and like this board (if you noticed), run newbb without polls because of this.

I have yet to get a straight answer as to the functionality in RC3, but I know that RC2 had alot left to do in the polls linkage.

Can you delete the poll via poll admin in administrator as opposed to in newbb?

I can't remember if I had to go into the database to delete them or not.

I just decided to wait until the gold code is out, have not even tried the rc3 yet.

I know that's not much help, but if you can't delete it via the administration>polls then I will walk you through deleting it in the dB if you have myAdmin or another mySQL frontend.

Ah I see, I was wondering why they disallowed polls...and nope, I can't seem to delete via admin->polls, so it would be great if you can walk me through deleting it through myAdmin. =)

ok,
if your good with myAdmin I'll just put the inst here, lemme know if you have trouble.

you may have a prefix on the tables here are the tables sans prefix:

xoopspoll_desc
click it on the left hand col. in myAdmin

click browse on top tab, check out POLL ID...remember it
hit trash can for poll entry you need to delete.

to delete the poll choices:
xoopspoll_option

delete everything (trash can) where poll_id = same ID as record you just deleted in the other table

do the same in :
xoopspoll_log

IF YOU DONT HAVE OTHER POLLS that you want to save you can just dump everything, the description above will selectively remove just the entries associated with a single poll.

Let me know if that was confusing..
