Hello everyone. I have some queries that I feel would be best answered here. Everyone here definitely more knowledge than me about discourse and hence looking forward to gain some insights.

1. When a poll is created, is there any setting in discourse that shows the percentage of votes casted , before the polling time period is over ? Kindly point me to it.

2. What can be a possible explanation for the fact that the number of edits for a topics go down , instead of going up, after edits are made to that topic. Let me elaborate on this.

Suppose I created a topic and then I edited it. The number of edits to that topic are shown with a pencil (pen) sign in top right corner. More the topic is edited, more is the number of edits. But can the number of edits go down? I think that it can only happen when the topic itself is deleted and a new topic (poll) is created.

Would appreciate the insights by members here. If there is something in my post that is not understandable, kindly point it out so that I can make better efforts to put my query forward.
