I get an error message

[simply creative 696]

whenever I vote I get this error message

 

Sorry, you don't have permission for that!

 

 

You do not have permission to vote in this poll.

 

any fix for this?

I just checked the error logs, and it says that you already voted in the poll. Is this the case? If so, that's happening because you can't vote in a poll more than once.

 

If that's not the case, then I'm not quite sure what's going on unless the topic is locked or something.

 

Could you please give me the link to the topic you are attempting to vote in?

I noticed this being an issue when I tried to vote back when I was a Blank Flank. The issue was cleared up once I became a Muffin. Does voting have anything to do with your rank?

Thank you, this actually is what's going on. I had forgotten about this restriction, but users are not allowed to create polls or vote in polls until they have at least 5 forum posts. This restriction is in place for security reasons.

 

Apparently this was never announced publicly. I will add an addendum to the new member announcement to make it easier for new members to be aware of this fact.

 

, I noticed that you were able to successfully vote in that poll so I will go ahead and lock this topic.
