Hey, a belated congratulations on your acceptance!
I have a poll suggestion/request/thought and I wanted to let you know about it because you're doing the polls this summer - I know you won't have started yet and you're probably still doing finals and stuff, but I just wanted to toss this into your brain!
(Also, fu is staying at my place this week and told me who was doing polls so I knew where to look :))
Anyway I have low vision so I read web pages at about 400-500% zoom. That means all the text, graphics, etc are 4-5 times larger than normal, or possibly even bigger if I'm having a "bad eye day". The way my browser (Firefox) works is to re-wrap text mostly so it fits into the screen's width and I can read it without scrolling sideways, but when I'm viewing poll results the red bars showing the relative size of each result don't get shrunk to fit the screen so I end up seeing just the questions and a long red bar disappearing off to the right... not very useful!
My request is that there be an option to view poll results in a text-only way so I could see the numbers and percentages beside the question (perhaps with some sensible additions of text indicating most/least checked results?). At the moment the actual text part of the result generally ends up off the right of my screen at the end of the red line so I have to sideways scroll to see it at all.
I'd be happy to provide screen shots if they'd be helpful to you - I'm not sure how much sense this will make to somebody who's not me.
Anyway, thanks for reading and I hope your summer is fantastic!
