Start a new thread, and at the bottom check "Yes, post a poll"

OK. I saw that box......but where's the part where you build the Poll, like....

(Title)...."I have never posted a Poll before, have you?"

1. Yes

2. No

3. I tried, but could not figure it out

4. etc

I was thinking I was going to see places to do this.

Thanks for your help :)

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.
