Making Polls

[Pandora]

Like the title says....could some knowledgable member enlighten me as to how to do so? Because I truly have no idea.

And sorry if this has been discussed before. If it has, just close it, and I apologize.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

it should be in the Faqs somewheRe, its quite easy...
have you eveR staRted a thRead?(duh) this one!!! i think theRe is an option when staRting a new thRed that asks iF you would like to cReate a poll


edit:Creating a new poll

When you post a new thread, you may have the option to also create a poll.

This function allows you to ask a question and specify a number of possible responses. Other members will then be able to vote for the response they wish, and the results of the voting will be displayed in the thread.

An example poll might be:

What is your favorite color?

Red
Blue
Yellow
Green
Sky-blue pink with yellow spots
To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes! post a poll' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.

When you click the submit button, you will be taken to the poll creation page, where you can specify the question and the list of responses you want to include.

You may also want to specify a time limit for the poll, so that (for example) it only stays open for voting for a week.

Voting in and viewing a poll

To vote in a poll, simply select which option you want to vote for, and click the [Vote!] button. You may view the current results for a poll before you vote by clicking the 'View Results' link. Voting in a poll is entirely optional. You may vote for any of the available options, or cast no vote at all.

Generally, once you have voted in a poll, you will not be able to change your vote later, so place your vote carefully!

Thanks very much, clinton. Apparently I am blind. Haha.

Sorry for the stupid question and being kind enough to answer!
