Polls

Don't feel obligated to comment. What can you say, really? Just exercise your right to vote.

If polls are well written about specific topics or issues, then these can provide useful information and lead to good discussions.

Comment, comment, comment... oh wait a tic, I wasn't obligated.
I go with what CeiCei said. If they're useful and to the point and provide a good broad demographic on the question in question (??? ) then by all means. But some have been rawther pointless. So think ye carefully before polling. Is it really worth polling?

How does one post a poll? I haven't been able to figure it out since we switched to this new format.

The funny part is I know how all of you voted

How do I create and vote in polls?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?

1. Red
2. Blue
3. Yellow
4. Green
5. 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.

:rofl: The self-reflective nature of this post cracks me up.

Polls are interesting, for the most part.
