after you tick the poll box, and youve written your little spill about what the poll is on, then submit that, and the poll info will come up. if that doesnt work well i dont know, cos thats what i just did.
1). Just fill our the form like you would if you were starting a new thread.
2). Then, check the 'add poll' square and then type in how many lines there will be in the poll (from 1 to 10). Click the Submit button.
3). You will be taken to a new form (The poll form) where you can give the poll a heading and add all the options for the poll.
Click the Submit button and you poll is done!
