How Do You Make A Poll?

[julieph85]

i've tried to make polls before but they never work. How do you make one and get it to appear?

Hi julie

I don't know how helpful I can be with troubleshooting. I have not made a poll since we started using this current forum/site.

However, I know you would start by clicking on Manage Topic Poll after starting a new topic. A box pops up and you type your poll questions and answer choices where indicated. The click on Finish. If this is not working, we may have to look into why.

Hi yes it doesn't work for me. When I click finish nothing happens

The poll feature on the new forum is a little confusing. After you click "finish" for the poll it will disappear from view until you publish the new topic. You will be back at the normal page for typing up a topic. Type whatever you want to for your post, and then post the topic/poll. Once you click "Post New Topic" the poll should show up in the published topic on the forum.

Hope this helps. Let me know if this doesn't work. Thanks!

I was just going to add the same thing. Clicking "Finish" does not publish the poll. You then have to publish the topic.

I just tried creating a test poll and it worked for me.

Hope you can get it work this time!
