Hi just noticed a bug, im in Australia and iv just spent the last hour or more racking my brain trying to work out why i cant add an image to my poll even tho i set the poll start date to "today". After a while i assumed it could be because australia is in the "future" in terms of dates. i set the date a few days back and i was now able to add images to the poll. this could cause a lot of confusion for people.

Hi Andrew,
That's weird. Usually the the time you select should be your local time and it gets converted to UTC on the server.
But then it gets converted back for each user to local time and should be checked against the current local time.
I set my timezone to Australia and it worked fine. Can you please send me the link to your poll / contest to support@pollunit.com?

Kind regards
Philipp
