Sadly, there is no way to do this. We may roll this out in the future -- but you're the first person to bring it up. If we see a higher demand, we'll definitely consider it.

Thanks! We've worked really hard on the UI as a whole.

Thanks jarcoal,
We're planning on implementing a scroll bar -- we just don't really enjoy the default browser ones and are going to have a custom-built one soon in JavaScript.

Thanks!
Right now we're targeted the size to fit the majority of most common blog platforms. We'll probably roll something out soon to pass in a param to get your own sizes. The problem is resizing the analytics gets tough.
We will probably have the ability to turn on/off certain reports pretty easily if its really requested.
We also plan to implement branding VERY soon. And we're going to give it away for free. Feel free to follow @GoPollGo on Twitter for relevant updates.

Thanks jjacobson,
Right now we're doing an iFrame because we wanted to get something out the door. The way we've built them is so that we can constantly update and polish the widget as issues arise. There is a possibility of it moving over to pure javascript at one point -- but not for the foreseeable future.

Shameless plug:
I love the simplicity of HN polls, but if you use GoPollGo, you can see votes segmented by different countries/states/district. Soon we'll be adding the ability to split votes by age/gender/browser/os/referring website.

I find http://activeadmin.info/ to be a much more effective solution.
BenSchaechter | 14 years ago | on: Poll: What's your favorite programming language?
Yes, but GoPollGo gives better analytics and is real-time.

BenSchaechter | 14 years ago | on: Ask HN: I'm quitting my job to start a company. What should be on my checklist?
Coming from a single founder almost a year in: Get a Co-Founder. You will have probably more than double the output, someone to bounce ideas off of, and a more sane life.
