How do I add polls on my board with the vote button and the percentage showing? I tried to add a poll to my board and it did not work. I don't see anything in the control panel about polls. It seems to be on. It just did not post one. Thanks.

When you click on "New Topic" ... you should see a small bar above the post window saying "Include A Poll" with a drop down menu on the number of options and a submit button.
It you don't see this, then I would assume you have altered your template?

Yes, I done that, but once I post it, it does not post it, as if I never posted one. I don't think I've altered it, unless unawares, What can I do to get it to work?

All I can suggest, if I sign up with your board, could you make me a temp admin and I'll take a closer look?
... scrub the above, forgot a member can do this too ... tested it and all looks okay.
P.S. This is my "5555" posting!! *woo hoo*

Boobugg, welcome to Exco. I just did a bit of testing on my own board with making a poll. You have to follow everything from the # of options to clicking on make a poll, fill in your poll question, your options, subject and then finally the body of the post. You cannot click on Preview or you will wipe out your poll. Hope this helps, if not please come back and we'll try and see what you might be doing wrong.
This time I'll leave your thread here on Tips & Tricks. But for future reference please post questions like this in the "Support Forum" as this is generally where everyone looks for their help and those that help generally look first too.
Good luck with developing your board and stop by anytime you have a question. There's lots of knowledgeable members here to assist you.

If you are leaving it at 2 options..try clicking to 3 then back to 2. Then go ahead and complete the rest.
