How do I Poll

[megan999]

How do I put up a Poll? When I put submit a thread there is no option at the bottom to let me put up a Poll. Is it because I don't have enough posts or something?? :searchme:

When you start a thread, there should be a box right at the bottom which says "Yes, post a poll with this thread" (Under additional options). Click that box, and select how many options you want in the oll. Then post the thread. When you do this, another screen will come up which will guide you through adding a poll to the thread. As far as i'm aware, you should be able to do this, i dont think theres a post limit on it. Just make sure you keep scrolling down when you write out the thread, and the options are there. Hope this helps :)

When I start a thread....In the additional options box there is another box that says Miscellaneous Options (Show your signature, automatically parse links in text, disable smilies in text). The second box says Thread Subscription - Notification type - and then a pull down box - do not subscribe, no email notification, instant email notification, daily email notification, weekly email notification. Underneath this are 2 buttons - Submit new thread and Preview Post. At the bottom left hand corner of the screen it says: Posting rules: you may post new threads, You may post replies, You may not post attachments, You may edit your posts, vB code is On, Smilies are On, IMG code is ON, HTML code is Off.

You should see this underneath the text box:

Click on the poll box and follow what Abi said.

Hmmm I wonder if you have to have a certain amount of posts to be able to do a poll.

Yes you do. I can't remember how many but too many silly polls were being started.

Okay, thanks. :)
