I don't think we can anymore - I posted a thread about this last month and admin said there was a tab at the bottom but I haven't ever seen one - I think right now it is set up so that only admin can see this tab. That's my theory anyway
Okay, so Ella emailed me. Apparently we can on RT (it's a tab at the bottom that says "Poll Formation") but not yet on Hangout (and possibly some of the other boards). Just a bug they are going to fix.
SO FYI. Yes we can do polls. But for now only on RT.
The poll feature should now work in all forums. Thank you for letting us know Gypsy.
To start a poll, click the start a new thread button as usual. Then below the text box, there are three tabs. Options, Upload Attachment, and Poll. Just click on that third tab and the directions are there.
