I personally type neither of the options, but that isn't an option. Generally, I use the alerts provided when I first logon and just cycle through the 'note' command.
Perhaps something could be added to score similar to Mail: YES to say New Notes: YES ?

Please give us boards back in score! It lets me log on, check score, and just know what new info I have to check out.

So, the reason the poll is up even though the change already happened, is that events went sort of like this:
- Wounds go in, there's a new command called 'status' to explain wounds
- Kinky says to staff that it's probably best if the info in 'status' is in score, because that's where people go to check their status. This was mildly scoffed at with 'I doubt all of this info will fit in score'. Kinky replies, 'I CAN DO IT. I SHALL PROVE IT...'
- Kinky makes a new score and puts it up on the bugs board to get implemented, including a few other small score updates
- A staff member (Takta) goes, "Wait... where's the boards? I NEED THAT!" Kinky replies, "Really? You mean there are people out there who use that? Okay, I'll throw up a poll. I doubt Azarial will get to that change in the next 24 hours anyway..."
- Lo and behold, we all log in and... Azarial got to that change.
Anyway, if you are currently lost, please type 'Board'. I figure I'll give it a week for people to adjust and see if we really need to back this one out.

I have to ask then, what was the point of the poll? Because it clearly shows that boards in score are loved and most people do use them (and I don't think single person was "Oh yes, good riddance!") so it seems odd.

Well, as I mentioned, the poll went up when I realized that I'm possibly an odd duck.
Guys, can't you just be happy that we bothered to ask opinions at all? I'm sorry that we're not perfect, and the right hand doesn't always talk to the left.

Anyone like this suggestion?

Why do I always come out as a complete jerk? I was just asking out of sheer curiosity, and seriously need to sign up for some communication seminar, apologies for my bad wording (it is sincere, but then again I clearly can't communicate well).

That suggestion helps a little but really won't ease my difficulties; I'd really like this to revert still.
