Are polls hard to make?
<input type="radio" name="option" value="1" />Yes
<input type="radio" name="option" value="2" />No
<INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Submit VALUE="Submit vote" class="buttons"></form>

Jon,

Look under the Instant UBB Code title, and you will see a variety of options. Click "Poll Start" and fill in your question when the script prompt appears. After that, click "Poll Option" and enter in one of the choices for your poll. You will need to do this for each choice you have in your poll. After you have put in all of the choices that you want, click "Poll Stop" to insert the last bit of required code. You can preview the post in the usual manner, but you will only be able to see the format of your poll. You won't be able to do a trial run before posting it on the board.

A how-to document I published:

Did you know that anyone can put a poll in their posts?

Got an idea for a poll that might be fun or produce interesting conversation? Go ahead and create a poll!!

Putting a poll in your post is simple, but remember: Posts with polls in them cannot be edited...they can only be deleted.

To add a poll... while making a new post or reply:

- First type the description or introduction to your message or poll.
- Then click Poll Start from the Instant UBB Code below the message box.
- In the popup box, enter the Title (or question) for the poll. For example: "What is your Favorite Color?"
- Then click Poll Option from the instant UBB Code below the message box.
- In the popup box, enter the first option (or choice) for your poll. For example: "Red"
- Continue to press Poll Option and enter more choices until you added all the options needed for your poll.
- When you are finished, and this is IMPORTANT, be sure to click the Poll Stop from the Instant UBB Code.
- It is recommended that you check the box to preview your post, because again, Polls cannot be edited.
- When you are sure everything is the way you would like it, continue making the post.

The completed code for the poll would look like this (except without the spaces between the brackets):

[ pollstart ]
[ polltitle=What is your favorite color? ]
[ polloption=Red ]
[ polloption=Blue ]
[ polloption=Green ]
[ pollstop ]

And would produce this:
<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://freeconservatives.com/ubbthreads/dopoll.php"><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pollname" VALUE="1046656129JoshPet">


What is your favorite color?
<input type="radio" name="option" value="1" />Red
<input type="radio" name="option" value="2" />Blue
<input type="radio" name="option" value="3" />Green
<INPUT TYPE=Submit NAME=Submit VALUE="Submit vote" class="buttons"></form>
