I have a question. Or 2. etc.
When you create a poll, do you immediatly have a new topic with it?
When you create a poll, how do you set it up?

I did look in the faq part, but it didn't say anything about polls.

There's a button that says "new poll" by the "post reply" and "new topic" buttons. Click that, and it's pretty self-explanatory from there. It's pretty easy.

You can click on "New Poll" and see at least a couple of screens before it actually posts the thing. I just tried it and could click "Continue" at least twice before anything happened. Then I got scared and stopped.

That's probably the best way to answer your question: try it yourself (but don't actually post anything).

Just be careful if you're planning to actually make a poll, since you can't edit them once they've been created. Make sure it's logical, you have everything spelled correctly, etc.

Hmm. Dikiyoba has never actually tried to make a poll either.

Kelandon is supposed to be an oldbie.

Accidentally posting an empty poll "just to test something" is noobish behavior.

Although since Kel is a mod, he could have just done this there and deleted the topic afterwards. Nobody would know. :P

Edit: Could have did, indeed.

Just because you can make a poll does not mean you should make a poll. Actually, that goes for most kinds of posting, but polls most of all.

Well, I know now how to make a poll by expirience.
Just look at the Geneforge 4 forum.

That's what gullible saps... er, Spiderwebbers that you get along with well enough to ask a favor from them are for.

I was going to call BS, but then I checked and saw you posted only thirteen topics until the last PPP incarnation. Those aren't much, indeed...
