You may notice that some threads on this board also include a section
where you can vote on an issue or question. These threads are called 'polls'
and this is how to create them:
Creating a new poll
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! You can
only vote one time.
