Poll question: Please Allow Me To Do A Really Stupid Test Through A Poll. Humor Me Please!
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 08:06 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
Someone just confirmed what I always suspected: That the way a post looks on my screen may be different than how it looks on yours. So I want to do a quick test. I'm going to put a line below that fills a full line on my screen. Tell me how it looks on yours using the poll to vote!

1. All of the "Test" in your poll are in all caps on my screen.
No idea how you did that.

4. They're still all in caps on my screen.
I don't want to give you skewed data.

7. But your poll questions specifically say "Test" and "Tests"
but mine are in all caps. You're looking for bad data, dude.

13. Now that it's mostly proper ("TESTS" really should be "TESTs")
I can tell you that all of your TEST line exists on one line on my monitor.

And yes, I was fucking with you.

5. Depends on how big I make my Firefox window.
If I maximize the window, all the TESTs are on one line. Otherwise they loop around.

8. This poll makes you seem a bit testy IMO
A one-liner in honor of "one line" of TEST.

16. Four, in my standard browser width.
I can expand it so that they're all on one line, but the way I usually browse, four of them are on the next line.

18. All in one line.
I'd be curious to know the origin of this test of polls and why it might make a difference...

ETA: to get them all on one line, I have to expand the window so that all 156 characters fit. That's just too wide for easy reading IMO.

22. OK, I have two results. One is with normal fonts and it shows
one test on the 2nd line. The large Font which is what I use on the forum shows 5 test on the 2nd line.
