Polls

[Touch of the Wind]

Can someone show me how to make a Poll, its for my Story The Fifth Sister in the crossover section, i hope to have a poll up to help me decide the name of Liz's baby, i want three names to be voted on, Jared, Parker or Hayden. I also want the Poll to run for three months. Please can someone help me!

Go to the first post of the your thread and click "Edit." At the bottom you will see the poll options. Add your question, then add your options, clicking "Add Option" after each one, and then put in the number of days you want the poll to run. Then click "Submit" and you're done.

Hope that helps!

Thanks you so much!

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem with the polls, but it's happened to a number of mine.

I'll have one poll going. Say the response options are A, B, and C. I decide to change the poll to ask a different question, and I want the responses to be X, Y, and Z. So I delete A, B, and C from the response options and replace them with X, Y, and Z. When I try to submit the poll, however, the responses that show up are A, B, C, X, Y, and Z. All of them, even though A, B, and C should have been deleted. Has anyone else had this happen, or does anyone know what to do to correct it?

I'm SO not a mathemetician, ping.

But yeah, I've tried deleting the poll and starting anew each time. I tried running the poll for a set number of days instead of having an unlimited poll, too, and I still encounter the same problem. Every time. I don't know, it's frustrating.
