Ok everyone, I see the little link at the bottom of new thread where it says post poll and number of options, but how do you do it!!! It never shows up on preview post. So I never hit submit thread. Please help me.

Don't hit preview post, just hit submit thread. It will take you right to the screen when you set up the poll.

So basically, type in the number of choices you would like, hit the link or whatever it is that says you want a poll, and hit submit thread. After you submit it, you will be taken to the poll set up page, and then click a button that says something like submit thread.... I don't remember what it is called. lol

Hope that helped! You can private message me if you have any questions.... I will look over how to make a pist again. I don't remember the name of the buttons.

Here, I found this on the FAQ page, it is how to create and vote in a poll

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
You may notice that some threads on this forum also include a section where you can vote on an issue or question. These threads are called 'polls' and this is how to create them:

Creating a new poll

When you post a new thread, you may 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 is your favorite color?

Red
Blue
Yellow
Green
Sky-blue pink with yellow spots
To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes! post a poll' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.

When you click the submit 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.

Voting in and viewing a poll
To vote in a poll, 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. Voting in a poll is entirely optional. You may vote for any of the available options, or cast no vote at all.

Generally, once you have voted in a poll, you will not be able to change your vote later, so place your vote carefully!
