I was scrolling through some threads back from the early Halo 2 days (don't ask why) and I came across this. If you scroll down you'll see that there's a poll...

in the middle of the page...

This.

Check the times beneath posts, that post with a poll is the first thing to be made in that thread.

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I would assume it's due to a thread being merged, and then they realized that it didn't work too well and never did it again.

It's a bug that sometimes happens when moving threads or with the time-stamp and polls. It actually happened a year ago in a couple threads (but appears to be fixed now).

Linky - I have no idea how it is done, but I imagine if you know how and use/abuse it, it's probably bannable.

I remember when that happened in the Flood. Wasn't it something to do with the time settings or something?

I agree...it looks like a bug related to a thread being moved. But it makes sense either way. Polls are normally attached inside the OP, so it stands to reason that they might have a relationship to an individual post instead of a thread. Theoretically, with that framework, you could have a poll in any post, but the website limits you to only be able to create one in a thread's OP.

I think at one point, you could manipulate a poll into a post, but I may not be remembering correctly.

that looks too extreme to be a bug with the time stamps. I mean come on--this is Page four, not page one.

I wonder whether it would be a good idea to allow for each posts to have their own polls if wanted/needed. But I guess it would be somewhat useless for the most part.

That's really weird. It's probaly an old glitch.

That is kind of cool, even if it is a glitch.

That's some good hidden '04 tech right here.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

Yeah I think that's an old glitch.

It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

Im gonna go with it being a bug. Don't ever remember hearing about that feature.

On a similar note that glitch I believe is related to the forum software which is currently from the '04 era. With the new forum tech coming we may see actual usage of the move feature for threads, obviously not for repeat thread in wrong forum, but for good ideas in wrong forum....

that or the web team is simply removing the feature, after all with over 7 years without really using it, they may see it as completely redundant.
