I tried the poll option and it doesn't work/do anything
It used to before but now I don't know how to do it.
Can someone show me? Thanks

When you go to write a thread like normal, you'll see two tabs: one says "Discussion," which is the box for writing a regular thread. The other tab says "Poll", and if you hit that, it will give you a box like normal for writing your beginning thread post, then it should show a list of other things that let you write the poll -- a space for writing your thread question, a space for answers (as you fill these in, it will keep giving you new boxes for more answers,) and options for how you want people to answer (single answer, multiple choice, publicly seen answers or not, close the poll in X amount of time, etc.)

Once you get to the end of all that, it should let you hit Post like normal and put up your poll, question, and answers. It might disappear though until a moderator approves of the thread and lets it go live.

The old system let you give about 40 different poll answers; this new system allows for about 10.

Looking forward to seeing what polls you put up in the future! :)
 
Thanks for your help
I got it now
I just needed to scroll down a bit more to see all that. I think my computer browser is too short so I didn't see those options.
