How do you create a poll?

Hey, I was wondering how to create a poll.

It's in the Additional Options area when creating a new thread.

Hey, I was wondering how to create a poll.

Well, take a male and a female from Poland, put them in the same room, and let nature take its course.
Oh, sorry, you said a poll.

Thanks, Dick.

Back to my question lol. I realize that there is the option at the bottom. But it does nothing after I check it and change the number of questions. What's up with that?

I've not posted a poll myself, but have you tried checking the box, setting the number of questions, entering your message text, and then hitting post? It's possible that you're not prompted to enter the choices until then.

Are polls, encouraged, frowned upon, or indifferent by the forum?

 

[pbaldy]

Speaking only for myself, indifferent. If Jon didn't want them, he could probably disable them, so my guess is he's indifferent as well.

Wrong thread! Wrong thread! Wrong thread! Wrong thread!

Wrong thread! Wrong thread! Wrong thread! Wrong thread!

Since your original reply was different and now appears on another thread, presumably you were referring to yourself, not saying that others had posted incorrectly to this thread (which was my first interpretation)?

This sounds like a poll.

See Frothingslosh's reply.
It works - I just created a new poll following his suggestion.

Why in a poll can you see who has voted for what before you vote, but not after? weird!

[pbaldy]

You can; click on one of the counts in the second to last column.

 

[Brianwarnock]

Thanks Paul, I tried the first and I tried the last, I should have been more thorough.

No problem. I wouldn't have known, but happened to notice they had the faint underline of a hyperlink.
