 * I have tried to install GaMerZ Poll without any luck. When I want to run the 
   installation script I got the following error:
 * WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near '( aid int(
   10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, qid int(10) NOT NULL default '0'' at line

   NOT NULL default '0', answers varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', votes int(10)
   NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (aid))

    INSERT INTO VALUES (5, 1, 'No Comments',

 * Somebody a idea how to solve this error?
    Thanks, Dimenster

 * As I posted in anothe thread, the problem seems to be whwre it selects the table
   by specifying “$wpda->pollsq” and “$wpdb->pollsq”. Remove the code “$wpdb->” 
   and it should work. At least that’s what did it for me. Of course I had to go
   through damned near every file and make the edits, but it works now.
