These posts involve editing php files on your server.  These php files are part of the SMF program.  If you are not comfortable editing php files, you will not be able to perform this function.

I will make this into a mod so that you can simply add it via the SMF package manager, but don't look for it anytime soon as I'm pretty tied up with work related issues for a few weeks.  If I can squeeze it in I will, but no promises.

ok I tried what you said and it worked almost as I wanted it is just that it is breaking the bars lol.And I tried your solution of fixing it but still failed

I tried everything works fine on my test forum but on my main forum it says Page cannot be displayed when voted

For your bars issue, make sure you updated both references.  There was actually 2 places to change bar lengths.. hence why I mentioned to update all references:

Edit SSI.php
[FIND ALL OCCURRANCES]

Code Select Expand

$barWide = $bar == 0 ? 1 : floor(($bar * 5) / 3);

You probably just did the first occurance.  If you actually did do both, then I'm not sure why your bars are breaking the block.  Best bet is to restore your backup file (you did make a backup I hope before starting the whole process), and try going through the process again carefully.

Don't know about your second issue.  I can only assume something was missed, or misplaced during your editing.  Again, you might need to restore your backed up file, and go through the process again.

I tried that what I did was I used my SSI.php on my test forums and replaced it with the main one and still failed.
And ya should the address be something like:
www.mysite.com/SSI.php?action=pollvote
It was something like that
EDIT:
It was http://www.mysite.com/SSI.php?ssi_function=pollVote

It is finally solved.It was caused due to Flash Chat integration v1.0 so I removed it and changed to v0.1 and it worked lol
