Hey guys, my poll Found Here is not working.

I don't even see the buttons anymore, and when buttons existed, I received reports that they didn't work.

Please let me know what I can do... I made sure that the forum is no longer cached by nginx helper.

I don't even see the ability to add a NEW poll... what the heck is going on here?

This plugin is frustrating me.

You are using all kinds of caching on that page including W3 Total Cache. It will never display properly if cached because the page is dynamically generated. And it may well explain all of these anomalies you are mentioning. The Simple:Press forum page needs to be free from all page content caching so you do need to exclude it from ALL sections of W3TC and any other caching that may be in operation.

If - after that - there is still a display/button issue then it will probably be best to create an account for us so we can log in to the site to inspect that poll you linked to at the top of the thread.

There are page caching exceptions in effect for all of these pages... and any subpage of the forum.  Is there any way that you can show me directly that they are being cached, or is it just caching "ads" that are popping up somewhere?

I'm mainly going on the report at the end of the html source being generated for that page:

I have completely disabled both plugins.  Are you still seeing the same thing?

looks like w3tc is gone... but looks like still some server side caching

<!--Cached using Nginx-Helper on 2013-07-10 03:38:20. It took 48 queries executed in 0.337 seconds.--><!--Visit http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....elper/faq/ for more details-->

so I see a couple of votes on that poll... are there still difficulties?

Yes, there are still difficulties.  I disabled every plugin on the site, and the thing still didn't work.  I have w3 total cache on right now because my server is getting mobbed.  However, even with it disabled and nginx deleted from my site entirely, I was still experiencing the same dead poll.

I can't even figure out how to make a new one.
