Test of the Poll system
« on: 22/06/2022 22:43:25 »
Hi.

This is a test poll.
Setting one up is simple.....
Instead of selecting   "New Topic" select   "New Poll".

Hi and thanks evan_au,

I was just testing to see if the Poll might help in another thread.
The forum is surprisingly flexible.



Best Wishes.

I've never put in a poll, not finding them particularly useful, but not for lack of knowing how.
I've modified a poll (to add a reasonable option to a list of all unreasonable ones), but that's it.

You suggests using one to reduce the number of replies, or at least reduce the need to read them, but unless you read them all to tally a count of opinions expressed, it doesn't save much time. Most people (myself included) don't vote in most polls.
Science doesn't work by popular opinion, especially on this site which has more than its share of dissenting voices.

Most people (myself included) don't vote in most polls.
    More generally, the only way to get more than half-a-dozen votes is to to leave it open to guests and not just signed up members.   Then the same person can vote many times if they wanted.   It's not a perfect system, just an option that is available.   Personally, I think there are only about 20 regular members and if half of them notice your thread and also vote that is an astonishingly good response.

Best Wishes.
