How to Set Up a Poll
Posted: Wed Nov 23, 2011 5:38 pm
Polls may be set up on the FIRST post of any thread. Only one Poll per thread is allowed.
Be sure to type in your Poll question first.
Poll options support BBCode so you can have images as well.
The key thing to remember is that EVERY line becomes a Poll Selection option.
This means that a blank line will show as a selection on your poll. Each time you hit your enter key it creates a new line/option.
You can also set the number of options per user, meaning you can limit to one out of ## options Such as Which one is your Favorite Photo? or you can allow for multiple selections, as in What are your 3 favorite photos?
You may also set a time limit for the number of days people can vote.
The Allow re-voting is good if you anticipate that people may want to change their selection after their initial vote is cast. This could apply to customer satisfaction polls, etc, where there is continual change. By default, re-voting is not allowed.
I hope this is a help to any who wish to poll their fellow members and see what their thoughts might be on a given change, modification or topic.
