  • How to put a poll in a new topic

    A few days ago, Meg created a new topic posting an automated poll (post number 498), with the system registering the votes and calculating the current results.

    I asked Meg how she did it and she told me she found a "Poll" option in the "Options" tab above the message.  Unfortunately, that option doesn't seem to exist anymore.  Is there a problem with my browser, with my profile, or did you just disable it?

    It's a great feature, so, if you disabled it, please give it us back!

    For me, when you click on "NEW POST" there is a tab up top that say "POLL" right on it.....do you see that?

    Yeah, I told him about that. Do you have mod powers Kelly? Maybe only mods have that option as of now.........

    I'm afraid you all are thinking I'm irremediably clumsy, but believe me, I don't have that f****** option!

    I've clicked on the "Forum Options" button which appears inside every section, at the bottom of the topic list.  Well, here's what I read after clicking on that button:

    You cannot add attachments
    You can post new topics
    You can reply to topics
    You can delete your posts
    You can edit your posts
    You cannot create polls
    You can vote in polls
    Forum statistics are enabled
    Forum is unmoderated

    The 6th line is quite unequivocal: I just cannot create polls!  So it must have something to do with my profile.  I'm starting to believe I really lack the "mod" powers! Wink

    The problem is: I posted this topic in the "Help" section, waiting for an answer from the administrator, but Nicole seems to have run away after the first couple of days... What's a Help section for, if neither the forum administrator nor the webmaster take a look at it? Angry

    Oh, I wasn't saying you were stupid at all. I would never say that. I was just trying to find the source of the problem.... and it looks like mods can only do polls.

    Don't worry, Meg, I was just kidding.

    I sent a private message to Nicole yesterday, I'll be waiting for her answer.  Maybe I should change the subject of this topic and turn it into "How to become mod". Confused

    Luca, you should now have the option to create a poll. I've adjusted some of the settings. If you still can't, or need assistance creating one, please let me know. -Nicole

    Thanks a lot, Nicole.  It works now, and I've already posted three brand new polls!

    Hey, Meg and Kelly, I've got the mod powers now! Cool
