We've got a new poll system up on the AusGamers home page at the moment just getting some quick feedback about what everyone's favourite gaming platform is, focusing on the 4 majors at the moment. If you have a few spare microseconds please bounce over and hit it up - you'll find it in the right-hand side column just to the right of the top news item!

There's no PC option..

Edit: Ahh you fixed it, also PC wins with 100% :P

Yeh soz, there was an older poll that was running for a few days which was a simpler test, now I've added all the options we want to cover just for now.

(also go PC)

"Sorry, you can only vote in this poll once."

Say what.

IS the poll supposed to disappear once you've voted? Seems kind of strange because it would be better to see the results...

No option for "whichever has good games at the time".

I don't care what platform my games are on, as long as they're good.

When you vote, it shows the results (or should), then on subsequent page loads it is gone (this is by design)

"Sorry, you can only vote in this poll once."

Say what.

Same again.

EDIT: Wasn't logged into ausgamers.com, only the forums. Logging in fixed it, and it behaved as trog said above

hmm, try logging in to ausgamers.com and see if that fixes it - that sounds like a new bug

Yeah, that worked perfectly for me trog.

Actually - if you ARE getting that "canonly vote once" message can you let me know before doing anything so we can figure out why - just PM me and I'll check it out!

yeah i was logged into ausgamers and it worked fine.

But how can we keep track of the voting if we can't see it?

I was first to vote. I have no idea if the other idiots voted PC or not!

heh, at first i saw the poll n voted nps but never saw the results. checked again just now & can't see the poll, logged into ausgamers with my usual nick/pword & it says i gotta update my email address (was my old dem0n.qgl.org addy) coz it's old or something. change the email addy to the one i am using at work & it says i can't use that addy coz another account uses it & provides some bulls*** about using some other page to reset my password @(!#*$!*$!

anyways... sifn't pc :D

omg iphone isn't on that list

# PlayStation 3 - 0%
# Nintendo Wii - 0%

Hah.

voted pc:
would vote wii next time

But how can we keep track of the voting if we can't see it?

I couldn't figure out how to display the poll neatly in the RHS module yet, short of stuffing it down the bottom and was trying to avoid that. Current poll results will always be at http://www.ausgamers.com/poll .

:(
the results look borken

there was no pc:

What is your favourite gaming console?
PS3 - 40%
Xbox 360 - 37%
Wii - 23%

We need to know how many votes there have been...

Also, I voted ok, and the results looked ok, but now that I've gone back to the site, I can't see the poll anymore.


PS: You might consider re-doing the favicon.gif to match the new design.

One gripe is that the 'Discuss this poll' link is gone after voting. So I went to reload the page to click on it (thinking I may see it) and the poll disappeared :)

haha PC as a gaming platform you guys are hilarious.

lols get a three sexty. pm me word up.

Ausgamers is PC :) (no matter what console news gets posted:P) Crush goood!!

a game ain't a game without a keyboard

theres a reason they never have a console and pc able to connect to the same servers for their online games and it isnt because they cant write the protocol to work with both... Keyboard is king and consoles are for fags

no u r

There's actually several that do.

Yeah I have had a similar error for years.
My username has a banned word in it, and someone already has already taken fireblood? (WTF?! - Probably me, but still won't let me access)
So eh for ausgamers, i don't really use it anyway.

Doh the poll isn't appearing on the site at the moment (have already voted)

There's actually several that do.

MMO's don't count.

Of course PC is going to come out on top, i seriously doubt console gamers would know this site even existed :P

PC wins again! Take that console noobs who know nothing about computers or their own consoles!

And so much for 'better gaming' because games are better on PC, and look better, unless you have a old cruddy one like those console noobs.

PC fanboi much?

Should add another option, PC + a console.

uh what, someone rigged the polls! ya mum is best gaming platform and it's not on the list!

YET AGAIN!
I have been duped by the thread miners...

For me it depends on the game. I prefer FPS & red alert style (what is that? RTS?) games on a PC but car racing or mortal combat type stuff would probably prefer to play on a console since I cbf spending megabux on some arcade stick for my PC and a steering wheel can be awkward to attach just for a quick bash where as an analog stick on a console is always plugged in and ready to be wiggled and waggled until the cows come home from shopping.

you idiot

todays console is tomorrows emu


/guessing you're just another marketing fag

Would be interesting to reset the poll and see how it turns out now that Ausgamers has a wider, more diverse audience a year onwards.

I keep forgetting that poll is there, but yes, that's a good idea khel!

You cant see the poll if you are logged into the ausgamers. Also unrelated that god damn AMP qgl ad lags the s*** out of my firefox when it is doing that time warp thing or whatever.

Yeh same in IE, I think its a flash problem, the guy who made the animation needs a kick in the teeth. I'm considering doing something about it if it doesn't go away soon.

I like to support the Ausgamers but that thing is ridiculous.

At uni it completely stalls the comp until the <<>> stuff disappears.

I'd also like to know the number of votes each platform is getting, not just a %

Consoles are for kids

nintendo 64 ftw !

N64 Goldeneye/007 was win back in the day.

Atari or GTFO

go the lynx for rygar handheld back in the day !!!!!

PC IS KING...why do they even have a console section here?

N64 Goldeneye/007 was win back in the day.

I don't see the poll at all, I'm running upto date Firefox on Win7 RC, I can see the results of the pole by going to News > Poll, but can't vote.

ahah 360 bets ps3

way to revive an old thread dips***

I think www.qgl.org has the better poll. Its representative even to this day what the best games are.

I think that xbox 360 is the best platform, because i just generally dont like the ps3 controllers there too small and only a child can really play with them. With Pc they would be my second preference only because that you need to have a real high end computer to play any games with good FPS etc. and consoles do this easy.

I think it's time for a new poll, hey?

According to the thread title this is a new poll. Yeah, it's from 2008, but in the scheme of the creation of the universe that is very very recent.

Wait this is an old poll.
