Probably most people will get by without ever hitting this barrier – a 12 option limit is a reasonable number – but in case you need more than 12 options you will not find any way to increase the number through the graphical interface. There are also other Joomla! 1.5 extensions to insert poll components/modules on your site (like Apoll, CoolPoll, Autopoll, pollXT) but most of them are based on the default Joomla! component so usually they have the same 12 option limit. The good news is that the fix I describe below will probably also work for them! <IMG class="wp-smiley" alt=":-)" src="http://webupon.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" />  So here’s what you have to do to have more than 12 options on the Joomla! 1.5 Poll component:</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A74D64CE-A439-49BA-81D2-3A68705FF6B4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
