To create a poll this is what you need to do:
Create a new thread titled Poll: TITLE OF YOUR POLL
(Replace “TITLE OF YOUR POLL” with the name you want to give to your poll.
You need to add the [poll]
tag at the beginning of your list and the [/poll]
tag at the end of your list to activate the polling functionality.
Then in the body of your post, you need to enter a hyphen (i.e. - ) in front of each option you want to be listed to select from in the poll or produce a numbered list
So:
[poll]
- Option 1
- Option 2
- Option 3
[/poll]
or
[poll]
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
3. Option 3
[/poll]
Be careful in deciding for you options, you will not be able to modify the poll’s options later. You have 5 minutes from creating the poll to edit/amend it.
