m76 109 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Why can't I start a poll? I spent the last half hour carefully writing out questions and answers for a poll only for the forum to throw an error and loose everything I typed. Link to post Share on other sites

Despite wanting to create a poll you still need to fill in the topic title and text on the content tab otherwise it will throw an error. I thought the two tabs were mutually exclusive. But instead there is a master - slave relationship. You can create topics without filling in the poll tab, but can't create polls without filling in the content tab. Link to post Share on other sites

I can see why that would get confusing. I remember do a poll on what I think was my Kindoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning review and getting thrown off by the same thing. Maybe there's a way to fix it so people can fill poll parameters without having to switch tabs? Link to post Share on other sites
