When you are viewing any Poll links in geeklog they are usually expressed as /pollbooth.php?qid=pollnumber&aid=idnumber
so i hacked that into
/pollbooth/pollnumber/idnumber/

Then created a new folder called pollbooth and then created a .htaccess document in this new folder. the Mod_Rewrite rules in this doc are:

RewriteBase /pollbooth/
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ /pollbooth.php?qid=$1&aid=$2
