Ok, a small description of setting up a poll
First, enter the title of the topic (in this case "testing setting up a poll"
If wanted, you can add a topic description
Next you enter the Poll-question
Below that is a field where you can enter your poll choices
Just type 1 option/choice per line
In this poll it looks like this:

It's a breeze
Not too hard
Set up a what...?
Can't get it to work
Impossible unless you're a nerd

You can opt for a "poll only", so no replies, just votes
Below that is the regular message field, like for all topics (it's what you are reading now)

How hard can it be?

Cheers,

Jeroen

OK here's what happenned in my case: I clicked on "new topic" and from there, tried to set up a poll. You can do this with the PP BBS which I'm familiar with. You can't do that here. Here you click "New Poll" right from the forum page, which I'd have seen if I'd been looking, but I had already clicked "new Topic". I'm learning though.

In my case, I suspect my error was empty lines to space the choices so it only saw the 1st line and first empty line read "end of poll", or something like that. I'll try it again

Thanks
