The Topic Slider Voting page is for creating a specific kind of voting page that enables participants to vote on every Topic Slider on the page. Each Topic Slider contains a number of Options in which participants can click on and cast a vote for. On this page, you can have multiple Topic Sliders, and an individual Topic Slider can have as many Options on as you wish. (for displaying purposes its best to have a maximum of 8 options per slider).
On this page, you can customize the background content, which gives an overview of the Topic Sliders being voted on, as well as customize the sidebars and comments settings.
Note that the actual associated Options and Topics (that make up the Topic Sliders) cannot be customized on this page.
You can customize Options and the associated Topics by clicking on Voting on the left-hand side of the Admin Panel menu, then click on Options or Option Topics.
