More helpfully - if you start your topic title with “Poll :” and include a list, we’ll get a voting option.
No kidding? Wow… why don’t I know these things earlier?
Should I try editing the topic title? Or is it too late?
Okay, never mind this thread folks. Gonna try a proper poll one instead. Sigh. Wish I could type. Or dictate.
Donald_Petersen:
Or dictate.
Dictate it to me and I’ll type it in for you? Just PM me what you want to me to write.
Could you make a poll listing those 29 titles listed above? I’m having trouble making it work as a poll.
It seems to only pollify after posting maybe? I’m going to test and delete one in the lounge.
Edit: Yep. That works. Using Poll: in the title and a bulleted list for the options. HTML may cause hiccups.
