I guess something is not right as my poll is only a square in the post...

joybelle - I don't think I got it to work - I don't see any votes... update: after posting this reply I did see the percentage - but I think it registered my vote for puzzle twice - and it doesn't look like other polls I've seen - what am I doing wrong, pennmom ?

sonia (username @eskarina), joybelle, We had to update the polls to be a little different than the standard in order to get different polls per post but it is just for this board the other threads will have normal polls. It's a brand new idea and we are having to think outside the box to work around the proboards standard allowances. Also, you have to allow voters more than one vote (bottom right) when setting up the poll or they will get the default option of only 1 vote still in alpha mode so we'll work out the kinks eventually :)
Testing a poll here:

My votes didn't go through and I can't see your poll.
The last time I saw multiple polls per thread was on a UBB forum (won't name it; the parting was not amicable), about 15 years ago. I used to run a writing competition called Iron Pen and I designed a poetry contest for 3 contestants, in which each person had to write three poems. This needed multiple polls.
Then the forum admins switched to vBulletin software (what a nightmare; we logged on that first morning to discover chaos, with hundreds of broken image links). Oh, and suddenly people were sending me many more messages than could be accommodated in my PM box... because what they'd done was create a new and separate writing forum, appointed me the moderator for it, and hadn't bothered to tell me! So they were wondering why I wasn't answering my 'congratulations' messages and hadn't posted anything in the staff forum I suddenly had access to, and they didn't realize that they'd forgotten to up my PM allowance so I could access those messages and reply.
Multiple polls per post... I occasionally run an Iron Pen writing competition at Civilization Fanatics forum (yes, years later; I'm friends with the guy who created it and was the first host). I've not been able to get too fancy since multiple polls per post aren't allowed either on vBulletin or XenForo (it's a XenForo forum now). So I had a chat with the tech admin and asked him pretty-please... I'm running a poetry competition with 3 competitors who have to write 10 poems apiece, can you increase the number of poll options to 30? I had to explain that breaking the competition into multiple threads would not work, since the people voting might forget to grade all three people.

After voting, I saw nothing.. I refreshed the page and I can see this...
I've tried to add a poll to my reply, nothing happened... Maybe, only the author of the thread can add additional polls, only? Hm? Would you try that, sonia (username @eskarina), ? |

Hi Sonia
Red is not the best colour for your poll. I cannot read anything because of the colour. Sorry

joybelle , pennmom , Valkara , moni , 1Ashkent , I tried to create the same kind of poll I've seen earlier, but only got this box in the post and no option to select the colour - I don't know what I did wrong - pennmom - should I try to create another poll in another thread?

 , pennmom , for the changes in the poll - makes a huge difference! - what do you think, would I be able to add another poll to a post with a poll - by editing the post? |

pennmom - no, it didn't work - so I'll give more options here: for info: this is addition to the first post - if you ticked "other"

- let me know if I forgot to add your favourite genre
..it showed the bar in red though? I guess I hit TM twice unless someone else voted though?
