| I just checked the polls and it seems to be working fine for me, just before you hit submit you are checking the "Create poll" box and number of options right? Is it re-directing you to put in the questions and answers?? Make sure everything is filled out including when to close the poll (or 0 to never close)
Give it a try again perhaps and if it does not work perhaps post in the site feedback forum to report this/have it troubleshot!
Alternately you could just make it a normal thread and ask the questions in general. |
