Haskellers.com polls (specifically, the mascot question)

Hi all, I've just added the polls feature to Haskellers.com, and created an initial poll about mascots[1]. Let me know if there are any issues. Michael PS: I've also added Google+ profile link support, just go to your edit profile page and paste in the link. [1] http://www.haskellers.com/poll/1

For everyone emailing about email verification not working: it's fixed
now, the date on the server was incorrect, and therefore Amazon SES
was rejecting the request.
Side point: I'd recommend people start using BrowserID for login, it
automatically verifies your email address for you.

"You must be logged in to submit an answer." I don't know how many opinions you'll lose from that, but you'll certainly lose mine.

Well, I thought that was part of the point: some way of having "verified" votes (i.e. you didn't go and get all your non-Haskell friends to vote, didn't create another three email addresses to vote, etc.). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

To the best of my knowledge I have no account there to log in *TO*, nor any idea of how to get one, nor any idea of what other rewards, if any, might repay the effort. I was thinking about recommending Architeuthis, but Squid\ Girl put me off.

Just log in: it's third-party authentication. Every page says "Login" at the top. If you have questions about the purpose of the site, there's a FAQ (also available on each page). Michael
