Poll question: Great new poll feature, click to confirm
Do you like the new poll "feature" where you have to click to confirm your vote, or does it hack you off because you have to click two things, where you used to just click one?

1. Don't like it
I dont think with the polls here it is really necessary to confirm votes. IMO.

4. I don't really like it
I don't necessarily hate it. It's just sort of a minor pain in the ass.

5. It is annoying
it not like clicking the wrong button does anything earth threatening like pushing to wrong button in the ballot box. For those of us with Adrian Monk syndrome it takes us twice as long to vote. "HMMMMMM did I really mean to vote that way?"

6. Don't Like It
Even if one did make a mistake and pick the wrong thing, what harm was done? It's not like the fate of the world depends upon the outcome of a DU poll. It's just a nice way to get a general read on the feelings of DU'ers, but it's apropos of nothing scientific, so mistakes were irrelevant.

It's just slows down the surfing.

7. This is a security feature.
Our polls had a security flaw which allowed malicious members to force others to register a vote without their knowledge. The confirmation screen fixes the flaw.
