      New feature in the forum: if you are trying to get input from other users, you can create a new Topic in the Blogs section (or other appropriate section), then click the new Create a poll button:

      Then fill out the Create a poll dialog:

      You can also use manual syntax, as defined here:

      [poll maxvotes="1" title="Poll title"]
      - Poll option
      - Another option
      [/poll]
      

      Caveats

      • A poll can only go in the first post in a Topic, so will not work in a Reply.
      • Once you post your poll, it cannot be edited. (Even when I look at the post with moderator powers, I cannot edit the options in a poll.)
      • If bad users figure out how to abuse the polling system, the feature will be turned off again.

        Shouldn’t this post be in the FAQ section, since it’s describing a feature of the forum?
