When you make a new thread, at the bottom (below where you enter the text) there's an option for making a poll.
After you have typed all of the contents of your thread, check that 'Add poll' box at the bottom of the 'Create Thread' screen, type in the number of options you'd like to have, and then click 'Submit Thread'. Your thread will be posted and you will be taken to a screen to enter your poll options.
Hi stocking, when you're making a new thread with a new pool, you have to go to the bottom of the page and click here: When you click on "Submit New Thread", it will appear this page: Click on "Submit New Pool" and you'll have both your thread and your pool published
