Default Starting polls... errors.

Why does it always give me error's when I try making polls with at least 6 & 7 words per option e.g. 'yes, evict them they annoy me' but with options like 'yes' or 'no it works fine!

Someone explain why that doesn't work!?

My problem was when I used a quote marks - ' - in the poll options.

A solution is to put a backslash in front of them, e.g. \' instead of '

Yeah, Matt's solution works.
We will investigate to stop it from happening in the future though.

I didn't use 's though... that was just to show the option examples I used.. the problem always happens when the options are lengthy in words! like 10 words etc.
