I'm trying to create a poll but it never goes through, is there something I'm doing wrong? Can someone explain to me what to do?

Click on "manage topic poll" and make the questions. If you are on mobile then you have to go to "full site" to do this.

Make sure you out in at least one answer in that column. .. I know that sounds odd. Also if you want two or more answers and people can pick more than one, check the multi choice box.

If you really want answers, make sure you have a positive, negative and neutral answer. Then you nay ask people to explain their answers. I know I often don't "vote", because there is no answer that is appropriate to how I feel about the subject.

I mean I do all that and I make the questions and all the options, and then click finished, but it just goes back to the topic draft and the poll disappears from existence

So you are not getting the same screen as if you were answering in a thread?.. if so

** Click on Preview post*** because that is where the poll is going to be. It doesn't show up otherwise... or it doesn't for me. And yes I Did a poll all the way up until actually posting it... cause, dumb questions, dumber answers.... then I deleted it.
