Can't believe I'm struggling with this.

I see how to start a new thread in the Poll Forum, but can't see how to make it a voting poll.

I've got to be missing something simple, right?

When creating a new thread, below the post/text field, there will be the "Additional Options" section.
At the bottom of that section is "post a poll" checkbox, and a box to list number of options you wish for poll.

Ensuring that box is checked, submit the thread starter, it will take you to the poll creation page, and you can modify as needed, including changing the number of poll options.

The easiest way to make a poll is to find a Polish woman and have wild sex nightly. :monkey

Strong temptation to make some joke about a Pole, but I shall refrain.

You and Calamity have to get together and iron out the signature discrepancy!
 
Thanks everyone! Including the Jokesters! :thumbs:
 
Alright, I found it! A polling I shall go ...

Whatever you were going to say, it would be unlikely to be lamer than "The South Pole" brand of jeans.

First, you find a straight tree with very few limbs... oh, wait... that's a pole, not a poll. Sorry.

You have to create the thread first, then quickly go back to add the poll. I would suggest having your poll pre-written so you can copy and paste into the poll sections so the time clock doesn't run out on you. There used to be a thread somewhere for practicing thread creation. I'll see if I can find it and give you a link so you can go there and make a paratice poll before you go out in the real world for the first time.

Yep, got it.

No need for practice, I've led my entire life by Baptism by Fire!

So do I start a poll, a pole, or a Pole? So many decisions! :2razz:

The simple solution is to ask me what I think and weight the results for a particularly small sample size. You will see that my views are very representative of DP posters as a demographic :2wave:

This is a technical support thread, bbthegreat. But I did get the poll going, here:
