Could we have the option to disable buttons in a particular question please? If I am doing a True/False question, I don't want idiots in the class pressing C, D, E or F, so I don't want these responses registering.
I know what you'll say - if they're going to press at random, they might as well press those buttons as A or B, but even so... When you're writing questions it doesn't make sense for these options to be available to the student.

At present you can set up a question and limit the number of choices. If it is just two choices then only A and B get registered. If a pupil presses any of the other buttons then it registers out of range (Black)

Do you want something more than this so that even if the pressed C D E or F it wouldn't show up at all ?

That was a really bad explanation of the issue. My apologies.
It only applies to ad-hoc questions. There's no way to limit the number of possible responses for an ad-hoc is there? Perhaps when you click on the voting pod icon to start the ad-hoc vote, a drop down menu could ask how many possible answers there are - just like the drop-down menu that asks what type of camera tool you want.
Is that clearer?
