Thanks for your comment! I finally got some time to answer. I dont really know what causes your problems. The ID of the last poll is saved on the chumby server so that the widget can display the results of the last displayed poll while there is no new poll. Anyway I will try to look into this problem. --- Regarding voting for several polls: That is rather hard to do. The API only gives you the current poll, when you dont specify a number. If you've already voted for that current poll, then you get null. I could try to move forward and backwards through all the polls by guessing numbers, but thats a rather dirty hack in my eyes cause there are also private polls which are inaccessable. --- Okay enough bad news :D. I will still try to improve it in the next weeks.

nice work! I really like this and think it has lots of potential however it very frequently displays "Could not load the results for the current poll." The problematic api request seems to be: --- http://www.ask500people.com/api/1.0/result.js?k=2rsw6lc9&i=undefined&d=1 --- Would also be enjoyable if once a vote is cast and the results displayed, another active question could then be made available.
