How to poll

[jjefferies]

Is there a quick howto on creating polls in f.net? Would appreciate a quick run through of how to create a poll.

It's pretty intuitive:


1. Start making thread

2. Check the little box that says "include a poll with this thread" and put the number of responses you want in

3. After you hit "make thread" it'll take you to a screen to fill out the poll options.




Also, wrong forum.

This isn't really a fencing discussion so I've stuck it in the WC.

As a general piece of advice expect Inq to just say your poll is flawed.

Inquartata is made out of nothing but thousands of tiny flaws held together by a paste of shame, dandruff and boy-tears.

jj - Looks like you got your answer and created the poll.

This would be a good "user help" topic, however. I'll put that on the list.

Yes, once I decided to just try clicking and then aborting everything I worked it out easily enough. This may be one of the more complex actions users do on f.net. Don't know if the web software you're using allows but Pete has a sandbox for people experimenting with putting up tournaments on AskFred which is pretty useful. Don't know that it is necessary for most of the posters on f.net. But the AskFred sandbox allows the user to experiment without making that fatal first botched registration of a tournament and everything that's done gets blown away to the great bit bucket in the sky. Useful for everyone.
