 * I had this problem while updating a theme and might have a different solution.
   Instead of deleting the .maintenance file, I looked inside it and recognized 
   a unix timedate stamp 1287155241. I used an online unix time conversion tool 
   and it translates to sometime after 3pm this afternoon. It was 10:36am, so I 
   used the same time conversion tool to create a unix time of 10:37am and pasted
   that into the .maintenace file. 30 seconds later my site was back online.
 * here is a copy of my .maintenance timestamp for 10/15/2010 10:37am
    <?php $upgrading
   = 1287139020; ?>
 * and here’s the url to the conversion tool I used
    [http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm](http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm)
 * I hope this helps!

 * I had this same problem with WordPress 2.9.2 on a custom theme. The custom theme
   was missing the wp_head() and wp_footer functions. Once I placed those functions
   into the theme’s header.php and footer.php the wp-polls work Perfectly.
