Creating a poll

[EddieH]

I tried to create a poll, but it saved as a "draft" - I can now find no record of it. Can anyone help?

Try "User control panel" then "manage drafts" in the left hand pane.

OK I have found that thanks, but it remains a draft. There only appear to be 2 buttons - "SAVE" which saves it aain as a draft or "RESET" which does nothing discernable. How do I save it as an active poll?

Come on Eddie, get it sorted, or at least tell us about it - to put us out of our misery of knowing there is a poll but not what it is........

It won't work if you save as a draft, I just did that and got the message

Please note that saved drafts only include the subject and the message, any other element will be removed. Do you want to save your draft now?

So basically you need to start again, create a post and fill in the poll tab at the bottom, then hit 'Submit' rather than 'Save'

You need to go back a step. When you first click on the "Manage Drafts" tab you get a list of your drafts which you then click on to get to where you were before. If instead you click on "Load Draft" (small type) you'll get to the normal creation screen. Though as andy points out (he posted while I typed) you'll have lost the poll bit anyway.

Thank you - it was simple really - I pressed save instead of submit
