I used to enjoy watching a poll live-update with responses (the totals on the poll view used to be live, and also the whole contents of the results view).

Since a few weeks ago, this appears to have stopped working, and now I need to refresh the page to see new responses.

Would appreciate if someone could fix this. Polls have driven a lot of engagement to our forum and the live-updating is one of Discourse’s slick features that sets it apart from other forum software.

I think this caused problems with forced refreshes. I’m not sure it was even a feature? Can you comment @tgxworld later today when you are around?

Yup live update of the polls is a feature. Probably regressed during the Ember upgrade. I’ll have a look next week.
