No new Polls creation possible?

According to this:
https://www.amigans.net/modules/AMS/article.php?storyid=12

I have to go here:
https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=13

and click on "New Poll"...but here is only "New Post"
Has Polls been deactivated?

I'd like to do one to see how many users would benefit from a gl4es-only ScummVM release and how many would be left behind.

Since gl4es is so much faster and evidently make some games playable in the first place, i'd rather drop vanilla SDL2 builds.

Though, it wouldn't be impossible to provide both binaries, it would come with more work, more time and most probably a tedious script (which will switch between the two binaries, due to either binary using it's own libSDL2.so)

Thank you

NB: I know the reach of an amigans.net poll wouldn't be very far...but i guess it also wouldn't hurt...

Hmm that guide hasn't been updated for ages and the polls module probably isn't the same.

Tell me the following details and I'll try to create the poll for ya:

ScummVM - gl4es only or double solution?


Poll description

Since gl4es is so much faster and evidently makes some games playable in the first place, i'd rather drop vanilla SDL2 (OpenGL) builds.

Though it would be possible to provide both binaries (or even two complete archives), it would come with more work, more time (second and third option) and most probably with a tedious script, which will switch between the two binaries, due to either binary using it's own libSDL2.so (second option).

The OpenGL build won't go away (for now), as there are still the daily builds from ScummVM buildbot, but they'd miss real "releases" from then on in and might be dropped completely in the future (but i doubt it, given the "unofficial" gl4es patches to SDL2 and the awkward SDK install.

Comments welcome


List of poll options

1) gl4es only

2) gl4es with an OpenGL binary (+ switcher script)

3) gl4es (complete) and OpenGL (complete)

It is a good idea to put up polls and please be serious, obviously not putting pancakes as an option because with that, more than a poll it would be buffoonery.
I would be interested to know if my latest Amiga projects are useful or interesting, to continue or do something else...
Thank you.

@Templario

pancakes are so 2010...lets go with waffles

@Raziel
Or the traditional "Don't know/No answer" I think that is better than joke about sweets.

Hi all,

I just went to the new poll and it let me vote (apparently?)
without having to log-in. I'm wondering, if it's possible,
should being logged into Amigans be a requirement for voting?

Just to keep all pancakers out... ;D
