Very newbie question, but I've never had an interest in doing this before...

Can someone please explain to me how you make a poll? How do you choose the options for it?

Thanks!

when you click new thread, towards the bottom, is the poll option, and how many options there are, and all that. its below the subscription area too.

I saw the poll option down below, but how do I enter in the options for the poll?

ie.

What is your name?
1. Jimmy
2. Jim
3. Jimbo

Where/how do I enter 1,2,3?

hmm, thats a good question, I didnt see how to, but I'll try to figure it out.

hmm, no luck, I tried making a list, but thats not it.

hmmm. I wonder how you do it...

btw, Thanks for the help Macman, I felt like a bit of an idiot asking this question, but if you, who have been here for a long time can't figure it out, I don't feel as bad.

Any one know how to do this?

When you do a poll, you'll do the poll last. So, at the bottom, just enter in how many fields you'll need and remember to click "Yes, post a poll with this thread". When you submit the thread, that is when you'll be prompted to enter in the options for the poll.
