polls?

[wishforabird]

can we have a page where we have polls for quick questions/curiosities like on BC?

Everyone can post a poll if they like.  You can just do it under the category it applies too or..   Do you mean a separate category for just polls? :)

is there a place in each section where you can start a poll? like in the area where it says 'new topic?' maybe I missed something (VERY possible!).
not where you ask a question and everyone posts, but where you can click a circle or a check box anonymously so you get an accurate result.  and see a bar graph of the results.  and rig it so each member can only vote or answer once, no padded results.

Starting a New Poll

A poll is basically a topic with an added question and voting options, started by clicking New Poll instead of New Topic as described above. To post a poll it is necessary to fill out the Question field and at least two of the Option fields in addition to the Subject and Message fields required by a standard topic. Further options to configure how many choices the user may vote for, how long the poll should run, whether users can change their votes and what conditions must be fulfilled for the results to be displayed should be self-explanatory.

To offer more than five choices in a poll, simply click Add Option as many times as necessary.

Note that it may also be possible for some users in some forums to add a poll to an existing topic.

Replying to a Topic or Poll

Replying to a topic or poll is basically the same as starting a new topic, but it's not necessary to enter anything in the Subject field unless you wish to change what's already there. To vote in a poll, you simply have to select your chosen option(s) and click Submit Vote.

Let me know if this helps you any?
