How to create a new poll
When you post a new thread, you 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's your favorite type of music?
R&B
Rock
Jazz
Hip Hop
Country
I love them all!
To create a poll when you post a new thread, go down to where you see
Additional Options and simply click the "
Yes! post a poll" checkbox and then set the number of responses you would like to include.
When you click the
Submit New Thread 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... you may also give members the ability to select more than one answer by allowing multiple choice.
Voting in and viewing a poll
Voting on a poll is easy, 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.
