Something I was wondering is how it records the votes? Is it the same way as a poll that'd be made here (votes are registered under either your username or if you're not logged in, your IP address)? Just curious if it is more reliable for collecting data than the poll system that can be used outside of Discussions. I imagine that it'd still be best to go with other options for important matters than using a poll. The votes are associated with the specific user in our database, yes. In the future we will build the option to see how everyone voted. For now it's not visible. So yes for important matters you should still choose another method. But eventually this will work for most needs!

Discussions (in general) is only usable by logged-in users. So IP addresses cannot vote.

Right now these are simple in terms of design, and they do seem about the same as the other, older polls. But they are already superior in many ways "under the hood". :)
