How do you make a poll on a topic?

Stradius011

There should be a "new poll' button next to the "new topic" button in the polls board.

Peter243243

All I see is "Mark as read, notify, New Topic".
Do I do something in new topic.

When you click new topic instead of clicking it click make a poll.

Peter243243

I don't see a new poll button in the first place! If a saw a new poll button I would click it when I have the poll set up in my head. Anyone know a technician?

atmmachine816

Are you sure, because directly to the right of new topic there's a new poll button. It's before you make a topic when you are reading a board.

Peter243243

Yes I'm sure.
I only see THREE buttons.

Peter243243

I saw the new poll button in the Fourms/announcements section!

Stradius011

There is also one in the "Polls" section, the one below "General Discussions" It is next to the "new topics" button.

Peter243243

I only see it in Fourms/Suggestions and I want my Poll here or can it be moved here in Polls.

Last button on the right.

No the button is missing on mine I've looked!

I have the oddest feeling.
Do people think I've gone off the deep end?
Or blind?

Isabella

Peter, you have to be logged on in order to see this button. First, log on. Then go to the "Polls" board. When you're logged on and on the "Polls" board, you should definitely see this button. If you do not, I suppose you should tell Mike about it.

Peter243243

I have signed in so that I'm always loged in. Mike can I get help!?
(thank goodness no one thinks I've gone off the deep end.)

Isabella

Peter, can you take a screen shot of what exactly you're seeing there? Press Alt + Print Screen button and then paste it (Ctrl + V) into either Microsoft Word Document or somewhere else, and save it, and post it here. Be logged on while you take the screen shot. It would be best if it were a JPEG file or a MS Word document, as most of us should be able to open such files.

Peter243243

Print screen button?What is that?

Isabella

When you look at your keyboard, there is a key that says "Print Screen/Sys Rq" - it's right in the top right corner of the keyboard, above the numbers on the right. (Well, actually it's the second key from the top right corner). Press Alt and press "Print Screen/Sys Rq" at the same time. Then go to MS Word or some image editing program and (make a new file and) press Ctrl + V to paste the screen shot and save it, so that you can post it here.

Peter243243

Cut and paste isn't working!
Paste is dull and won't work!

Peter243243


Now it works.

P.S. Ok what did I do Wrong this time?

Isabella

Peter, you take a screen shot of the internet page you are on (the one where you want to show there is no "poll" button). You do this - as I have said - by pressing Alt and Print Screen/Sys Rq keys at the same time (actually, press Alt first, and press Print Screen/Sys Rq WHILE you are holding Alt). Once you have taken the screen shot, open Microsoft Word if you have it. Create a black page there. Once you have a new page, click on the page and press Ctrl. Then press V WHILE holding Ctrl. This will paste the screen shot you just took into the MS Word document. THEN ... log on to Fish Lore, and attach the MS Word file under your post. This way, we can download it and see it ourselves.

Peter243243

You had me understanding till.
"...attach the MS Word file under your Post"
Do I make a link?
Untitled Document.wps
Is that it?

I did save as untitled doucment. Yes, i didn't change the title.

I tried Flash, Insert Image, Insert Hyperlink, Insert Email, Insert FTP Link and tested them on Preview.
I got website links, Email, Files, a weird image, and I don't know what I got on Flash.

Nothing is working!

Isabella

Peter, when you want to attach any file, just look below the message window (the window in which you write replies), and you'll find there an option called "Additional Options" - click on it. Then attach the file (browse it from your computer).

Tom

I don't have that button either.
Tom

boff

Same here i dont have it as well.

Isabella

That's strange because Stradius has it (you do Stradius, right?). I'd understand if only moderators had it and no one else. But if Stradius has it that means the rest of you should have it. I wonder why you guys don't have it.

Peter243243

Oh no, Attack of the membership defects from Mars.

Guess Mike made a mistake making the website?

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Isabella

I will ask Mike why you can't see the poll button

Tom

Please do. Thanks in advance.
Tom

Mike

You have to be a Sr. member or above to post a poll.
