All you need to do is wrap a list with [poll][/poll] in your post. Polls can be added to any post within a topic, and you can add multiple polls to your post. See http://blog.discourse.org/2015/08/improved-polls-in-discourse/ for further information.
Here is a short example for a singular poll in a post:
[poll]
- This is useful
- This is pointless
- I like tacos
[/poll]
To add multiple polls to your post, you need to specify the name parameter:
[poll name=examplePoll]
- This is useful
- This is pointless
- I like tacos
[/poll]
I dont know if @onloop wants everyone to know, because if he did he would have told us by now. There have been multiple people asking. I can see why he may not want poles everywhere, it could gunk up the forum if used improperly, or over used. I am gonna let @onloop chime in. If he dosnt say anything if 1 - 2 days, i will make a thread about it.
Maybe @onloop we should make a poll asking if people want poll’s on the forum. I only posted one, becuase i thought it was necessary’. I can see the pros and cons of polls on the forum.
I’d say we should have polls, but only regulars or higher should be allowed to use them. We really don’t need spam… I can already see it: each topic has a poll “should I or should I not get 2 motors?”
@anorak234 Yes that is exactly what I am talking about. The forum will be littered with them from people asking basic questions. I would agree that only regular’s and mods should be able to create them.
@link5505 why the disrespect? I said let’s wait for Jason, and u just go figure out how and make your own poll. I don’t get it.
@barajabali I think u should split this to the lounge, so we can carry on in there, and not hijack this thread.
