Uh huh... but why was the poll not listed in the sidebar like all the other announcements of importance? And why was it done in 48 hours?
I have a suggestion for another poll: Put my icon back where it was so I need not scroll up each time to expose my icon so I can click it to see the drop-down list. Sure, real estate is valuable, but hiding an important and frequently-used button is just plain inconvenient and perhaps even frustrating for some who are confused about where that button went to and how to get it back.
I use that button constantly to check for new replies and it adds one more barrier to access when I need to scroll up before each time I want to use it.
Good point on having to scroll up if we want access to the header. What kind of useless idea is that? Just one more step, that has to be repeated dozens of times per day. Another upgrade that isn't really an upgrade.
