In Age Poll (http://www.talkrational.org/showthread.php?t=743), Goldie ran out of options when she tried to split up people's ages into sets of 5 years for that poll's options, so she used sets of 10 years instead.

That's because the maximum number of poll options is still at its default, 10.

Would anyone like this maximum increased to (say) 20?

The maximum amount of text in a poll option is also at its default, 100 characters.

I've upped the maximum number of poll options to 20. Is anyone here likely to need more than that?

There might be a better way to handle a large entered number of poll options -- a confirmation dialog asking if you really want to use more than some threshold number of options. That way it'll be possible for to leave the option open while making it possible to backtrack from (say) accidentally entering 100 or 1000 instead of 10.
