Made a small code change around where votes are entered in the traditional user interface (when voting from viewing the results).  Also added a condition where sysops are also able to close polls (although that functionality still isn't complete yet).

Updated to support multi-answer polls.  Requires a Synchronet 3.17 build from August 14, 2017 or newer.
Next, I want to add a command to close a poll (would only work for the person who created the poll or the sysop).

or via echocfg) were not automatically slash-terminated. So if the user did not
provide the trailing slash (or backslash on Windows), then the bundles and
packets in an inbox could not be extracted/imported.
Also, fixed the truncation of area descriptions in the badareas.lst file.

Updated to show the number of choices a user can submit for a poll, and restricted the user to choosing only that many. Also, started working on adding an option to let the user close a poll they created (while viewing poll results).  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in exec\load).

Added a property, maxNumSelections, to limit the number of selections a user can make in multi-select mode.  -1 or 0 means no limit.  I still need to work on getting the check mark displayed properly for selected items in multi-select mode..

Version 0.23 Beta: Started working on supporting voting on multi-answer polls.  It appears to be working.  Requires the latest & greatest DDLightbarMenu.js (in sbbs\exec\load).  It could still use a little refinement, such as showing the maximum number of votes (and limiting to that) and showing that the user can use the spacebar to select options in the lightbar menu.

Started working on the ability to select multiple items from the menu (which is done with the spacebar).  Multi-item selection is enabled by setting the multiSelect property to true (which is false by default).  In multi-select mode, the GetVal() function will return an array of selected return values rather than a string.  The display of selected items still needs to be worked on..  Right now it will display a check mark next to selected items after the user scrolls away from the item, and the position of the check mark is currently a little wierd, but multi-select is working.

origin line prefixes (so it'll be more obvious to sysops when their tag/origin
line is too long) and beautified the output a bit.

polls either.
If the 'votes=<val>' argument isn't specified, the votes (max votes per ballot)
value is prompted for. This number must be > 1 for multiple-answer polls.

Fix multi-choice poll import (from QWKnet) bug: MaxVotes was used for polls in
(not "votes) in VOTING.DAT file. Oops.

badip.msg wasn't be sent (display to) the IP-blocked user before disconnecting.
This regression was introduced in rev 1.632 of this file when the temp IP-ban
feature was implemented.

Small optimization in the countPollsInSubBoard and subBoardHasPolls functions - Storing the number of messages (msgbase.total_msgs) in a variable before the loop

closure of the file. This appears to have just been a typo and the intended
file pointer was text_js (text.js). This bug also meant that TOTAL_TEXT was not
be defined in the generated text.js files.

bbs.login() now accepts 2 additional optional arguments: user_pw and sys_pw
if these passwords are supplied, they won't be prompted for by the underlying C
functions. If the password_prompt argument (2nd arg) is not supplied, no prompt
will be displayed, but a password must still be entered.
The default behavior is the same as before.

Version 0.22 Beta: Updated to display "Loading areas..." when loading the message areas & looking to see which ones have polls.  Also, changed "topic area" verbage to "voting area".

SlyVote v0.21 beta: In the area selection list, added a check mark next to areas that have polls in them.  Also, widened the menu for the poll question and choice lists, since some poll questions and options can have longer text than I had planned for.  Also, removed some temporary text I had put in with the previous version.

Updated the drawing function so that when in numbered mode and there are fewer items than the menu's height, it looks better.

Added an optional "numbered mode", where each option is displayed with a number to the left (starting at 1), and the user is allowed to choose an option by typing the number of the item.  Numbered mode is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the numberedMode property to true.  For example:
lbMenu.numberedMode = true;
When numbered mode is enabled and the user starts typing a number, the menu will prompt the user for an item number.  The prompt will be located on the line below the menu, so in addition to the menu's height, you'll also need an extra line on the screen to account for the item prompt.  In addition, when the user presses the enter key after the item number, a carriage return/line feed will be outputted, so in numbered mode, the menu's height should not go further than 2 lines below the console height.  Otherwise, the display of the menu will not be correct if the user decides not to enter a number.

Version 1.17 beta 42: When showing tally information for messages with upvotes & downvotes, it now shows who voted on the message (for sysops only).

SlyEdit version 1.50: Added a user configuration option (accessible to the user via the Ctrl-U) to toggle whether or not to trim spaces from quote lines.  This behavior is enabled by default.

Version 0.20 Beta: Fixed a bug in the stats display where it was assigning the total_votes in the headers instead of comparing, using an = instead of ==.  Also, updated the stats view to display the stats in a scrollable frame rather than simply dumping out the stats to the screen.
