Table elements in the blocks Bugs

OK, many of you who have scoop sites may have noticed this, and I'm sure that some of you have figured it all out. I haven't, so here's my plea for help:

In the default scoop setup, table elements are spread across more than one block, and some pages just don't display right.

In particular are the poll results pages. It seems no matter what I do, I have to choose between the story view working and the poll results view working. Everything seems fine until comments are posted about the poll. Then the poll results disappear and all that shows up are the comments.

Has anyone else seen this? What solution is available? If need be, I can copy my database over to another server with another url and let someone else have administrative access to scoop, if anyone wants a closer look.

I particularly don't like the default layout of scoop. I know I could do something about it, but I'm no html wizard, and I'm working on other things :-) If someone sets up a good default working layout, that gets everything looking A-O.K. I'll put it in the default db, so we don't need to worry about broken tables and such in teh default install.

Mahonri, in response to your question, make another template, and call it poll_template or something. Just add it into the blocks. Then using the template admin page, set all the poll stuff to use that template, and all the story stuff to use the story template. That way you can keep them separate, and both working.

I was playing with the poll and comments to see what you were talking about (I just have it installed, I haven't done anything with it yet), and in addition to not displaying the poll results when there are comments, it also gave me a 'permission denied' page when I went to edit the poll (and I am logged in as the superuser - I've been playing with vars, blocks, and boxes trying to trace out what HTML comes from where for hours.)
