Description
I´ve got installed AdvPoll, and the first test votes seemed ok. Until I´ve noted that only Anon users were able to vote.
So I made possible for both anon and registered users the ability to cast a vote.
Since then the only people that coud actually vote were all registered ones!
Anon voters got the "You vote has been added" message, but the results dissapeared and those votes haven´t been counted at all!
I´ve reinstalled the module with Devel, and deleted the cache... but nothing happened, the issue is still there.
I´ve tag this as critical, as I cannot use this module at all. If this is a bug, I think it´s an important one, and if it´s not...
please S.O.S! :)
Thanks for your patience,
Rosamunda

This is such a weird problem.
I´ve created another poll, and the first (and sometimes the second too) annonymous users can vote without a problem, but that´s it. An annonymous cannot vote ever again...!

What sort of polls are your tests? (binary or ranked, writeins allowed or not, max # of allowed choices, electoral list, etc.) I experienced a similar problem with polls that allowed writeins. Any role that didn't have the add writein privilege would encounter problems when trying to vote in the poll if the maximum number of choices was set to 1.

Binary, (those are the only ones useful to my site´s architecture).
I´ve tried on and off the writein options... but the problem remains...
Did you find the solution to your issue?

Thanks for the info :) I think I can point you to a possible fix for your problem. While advpoll is set up to allow anonymous users to vote, the votingapi module that it relies on is not. The link below should take you to a thread regarding the issue and fix:

and the patch itself is here:

I hope this helps!
