Sorry John, I haven't really had time to work the forum for a couple of days. We had a bad storm here in Savannah, and I had to fix a couple of computers that blew up at the office. Plus I'm working on a big database project, but anyways:
Here's how you create a poll:
1. Navigate to the Forum in which you would like the poll.
2. Instead of hitting "New Post", hit "New Poll".
3. Enter the following:
----A. Title. It's fairly obvious what this is. Please note that this is the only line that will appear if your poll is exported to the homepage.
----B. Topic Description. Your description. Please note that this will not appear if your poll is exported to the homepage.
*****A and B above should ask your complete question, as it seems that not too may people read what's below the poll until after they vote.
----C. Enter your poll choices, hitting enter after each. You can enter a maximum of 10 poll choices.
----D. Enter your post, being your comments about the poll
4. Hit "Preview post" and make sure everything is right.
5. Hit "Add my Poll"
That's all there is to it!
Again, sorry about the slow response. I'll be back into the swing of things soon.
Mike
