I'm afraid I don't know of any voting system which also has a reward system.
Here are a couple of voting systems that you may want to look at but I don't think they have a reward attached to them.

http://www.votxo.com/
http://pollcode.com/
http://www.micropoll.com/
Hopefully others may be able to share their suggestions.
A comment on the idea "Free Navigation Menus!" in Yola:
Hi Tommy
Could you please leave your page URL where you've added the code so that one of us or a forum user can see what you've done? Thanks.
Also, if you need to post your code on the forum, you need to either use an encoder: http://forsite.synthasite.com/encoder... or wrap your code in <!-- your code goes in here -->. This will prevent the forum from actually interpreting your codes. – Sanja, on December 18, 2009 17:34
A comment on the question "Displaying PDF files on the same page" in Yola:
Personally, I prefer the table view. It makes it look more organized and easier on the eyes to read and understand. It also adds a bit of nice color and interest. – Sanja, on December 18, 2009 17:30

Hello tvtalktimegirl
Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Easy Comments. Just thinking here.. I'm wondering if you are just copying the code provided to you for the 1st Easy Comment widget again and again? This may explain why you keeping seeing the same comments? Perhaps it would work if you re-created an Easy Comment widget and then added to your site for each new discussion?
As an alternative, you may want to consider using a forum instead if you have multiple topics or discussions.
There are a many ways to add a forum. Here are a number of options for you to choose from:
You can use Widgetbox's specific widget, to do this:
1. Open the "Widgets" folder in the sidebar on the right of your screen.
2. Drag and drop a "Widget Box" icon onto your page.
3. Click on the link in the dialog and you will be taken to Widget Box.
4. Browse for a comment box or mini forum, and when you find one you like, click "Get Widget".
5. Copy the code and paste it into the dialog box in Yola.
nabble.com is a great forum that is easily embedded onto your page. Go to www.nabble.com, follow the steps to create and customise your forum. Then click on "Embedding Options" at the top of the page and copy the HTML code. Back on your Yola, follow these steps:
1. Drag and drop an HTML widget from the sidebar onto your page.
2. Paste the code into the HTML editor that opens.
3. Click on ok and your forum will be added to your page.
We have a post on our forum with more info on nabble.com: [Free embeddable forum](http://forum.yola.com/Yola/topics/fre....
lefora.com is another forum that can be embedded in Yola's pages. Go to www.lefora.com and follow the directions to create your own forum. You can visit this post in our forum GetSatisfaction: Can I get my own forum onto my website to get more information on how to add it to your site.
Sanja replied on December 18, 2009 17:15 to the question "Pages within tabs?" in Yola:
Hello tvtalktimegirl
Perhaps you are wanting to create subpages?
You can avoid having too many pages in your main menu by dividing your site up in to categories and creating sub-pages. Here is a quick overview on how to do this:
1. Create the pages you need. When you create the page untick the "show in navigation" box so that these pages won't be automatically added into your main navigation menu.
2. Now that you have your content, you need to link it all up. You can create the links using the text editor widget.
- drag a text widget onto your page and click to edit it.
- Type the text which you want to be the link to the sub-page.
- Highlight the text, and from the text editor tool bar, click the link button (10th from the left next to the image button).
- Click on the "..." button next to "page". It should give you a list of all the pages you have just created.
- Choose the relevant page and click "OK" and you will have a link to this page.
If you didn't untick the "show in navigation" box and would like to take them out of the menu, simply click on "Edit menu" and drag-and-drop the pages you don't want in the menu into the panel on the right hand side. Do the opposite to include them in the menu again.
For detailed instructions and a working example, please click on the following link: Creating Subpages.

A comment on the idea "place things freely" in Yola:
I'm glad to hear that you have found this information to be what you needed. Please keep in mind though, while you can push the widgets outside of the content area, it is not advisable to do so as this may cause your viewers to have to scroll back and forth to see the content on your website. The content area that we have defined, is the optimal viewing range for most of the users. – Sanja, on December 18, 2009 13:57

Hello Sue
I'm glad that you were able to find a way to resolve the issue.
Here's how to embed a midi file into your website.
1. Upload your .mid file to your file manager.
2. Drag and drop an HTML widget.
3. Copy and paste the following code:
<EMBED SRC="resources/yourmidifile.mid" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 AUTOSTART=TRUE VOLUME=50></DD></CENTER>
Replace "yourmidifile.mid" with the name of your midi file. You can also adjust the volume from 0 to 100.
4. Click on "OK".
5. Save your page and then update your site.
Please let me know if you have any trouble with this.

Hi Sue
Laura is currently offline at the moment. Thanks for giving us the information. Can you please try a couple more things to see if that will do the trick?
1. Make sure your Flash is updated: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewC...
2. Enable Javascript: http://www.google.com/support/websear...
3. Try in a different browser such as Firefox. This is free to download: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/...
4. Reinstalling IE8.
Please let us know how this goes. Thanks for your patience as we try to work through this.
A comment on the question "Displaying PDF files on the same page" in Yola:
Sure I can still try to set this up. Now.. just to clarify.. you are wanting me to try using the iframe script that Boomer gave you? Or is there another script that you are wanting me to use?
If it's the iframe script - I would encourage you to try setting this up on your own first as you already know how this works as per the lesson that Boomer gave you.
If it's a different script that you're interested in, then please let me know which one it is and I can try to set up an example. – Sanja, on December 17, 2009 18:09

Sanja replied on December 17, 2009 02:34 to the problem "FONT DRAMA on YOLA ( Font and size inconsistency from Browser to Browser ) H E L P" in Yola:
Hello raindorado
I'm sorry to hear that you're sad. Unfortunately, browsers will interpret codes differently and therefore render your website content slightly different from eachother.
I'm glad to hear that you've been pasting your text into Notepad or something similar. This definitely helps. Would you mind posting your URL so I can determine if there may be something else going on?
Sanja replied on December 17, 2009 02:31 to the idea "Yola: Comics/Image Navigation Interface?" in Yola:
Hello calduckmd
It is possible to allow people to browse your site by clicking on a "next" link or button on your page, instead of using the automatically generated menu. You can achieve this by using the Yola text and link editors to create this type of navigation for your site.
These are the steps:
1. Create the pages for your site.
2. Click on "Edit menu" (below the page tab) and drag all except your first (main) page "out of the menu".
3. At the bottom of each of your pages, drag and drop a text widget onto your page.
4. Add your link text or image. For example, you could have a link that says "next". You could also include a "first" and "last" link, linking to the first and last pages on your list.
5. Highlight your link text or image and click "insert link" on the text editing toolbar.
6. A dialog box will open up with all the link options. Click on "Page" and you will see a list the pages on your site. Select the one you want to link to.
7. To test that the link is working, save and preview your page.
Repeat this process for all your pages and your visitors will then be able to browse your pages in order by clicking on your "next" links, like flipping through the pages of a book.
We have an excellent tutorial which will step you through the process of creating sub-pages, here is a link: Creating Sub-Pages Tutorial.
I know this isn't the same as the Comicpress interface, but hopefully it might give you a workaround.
If you upgrade to Yola Pro, you do get a lot more flexibility as you are able to upload .js files and .htm files. This opens up a world of possibilities.
