CP shouldn't be populated on numeric questions until there are forecasts #520

Current behavior

When you create a numeric question you have this blank space where the graph would be, and when you mouse-over that empty space you get "P(x=?): 0.000 (community)" message. And in not-submitted numeric group questions, a CP is visible when it shouldn't be.

My screen recording from non-group numeric question:

Expected/desired behavior

  1. There shouldn't be a "default" CP. If there are no forecasts it should just show ... (as opposed to the 100s) like "My Prediction" (do you agree @SylvainChevalier). 100 is the max selected my the question creator.
  2. I think the mouse-over behavior is probably fine actually.

Another screenshot for good measure; here 80 was my max. There's also something weird in the bottom left corner of the graph but I'm not fussed about it. image

On second thought, this might just be the desired behavior... @SylvainChevalier can you comment and mark this approved if you think it's worth changing.

Ideal would be to have empty pdf graph, with the x axis for visually checking the question scale. No hover state. All "..." in the table. image If the graph is annoying to get, just the table with all "..." is ok.
