I reckon our polls plugin would do the job. This would allow a poll to be positioned in the first post of a topic.

actually, a poll can be in any post in a topic (admin option)…  and you can have a photo and poll in the same post if you want…

thanks

gave it a go, downloaded, installed. I can’t see it working however. I need to post about 20-30 images, assign a name to each, and then give members the ability to simply and quickly select which is their first place, second and third place winner… I tested it, and it works fine as a question, now select an answer….kind limited. unless im missing something?R

Polls – in the way that the plugin works – is pretty traditional forum territory. Ranking ‘posts’ in a 1st, 2nd, 3rd place really isn’t and we don’t haver anything available that could do that.

A compromise might be our Post Rating plugin that allows uses to rate a post by selecting how many stars (out of 5) to award it. These are totalled up to give each post a score.

thanks….im looking around for an option that may work with my wishlist membership. It doesn’t have to be a forum thing, but is for members only…..

have you looked at the wp plugins repository? if not forum specific, might be a wp plugin that could accomplish it… I believe next gen gallery plugin allows something like that including a votiong method or add on for images…  and you can display next gen gallery shortcodes in the forum… obviously we havent test all of them but generally they work…
