m76 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I had the same issue a couple weeks ago, and just said fuck it. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you click start new thread do you see a toggle option like that of the below? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course otherwise how would I have typed out the questions / answers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 What's the error message? Please type it out or provide a screenshot. @m76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
