Hi Jason. did you also use version 0.2? This could be caused by any of the existing 0.1 or 0.2 created polls. If you did use a version before 0.3 try to remove old (and closed-hidden) polls and reset the lists.

In version 0.2 this behaviour was caused by empty poll titles or non alpanumeric characters. If this is not your case I will have to release a 0.3.1 version which will prevent looping the folder creation.

Hi Edwin, thanks for the response.
I am currently using version 0.3 and this is happening.

Would you happen to know which input exactly would cause this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Jason,

The folder problem you see is caused by an invalid poll title or other input. This issue is fixed in version 0.3 which includes input validation.

Please follow the steps in the documentation to upgrade. You’ll have to remove the current lists, which will also remove the huge list of invalid folders.
