Why Have A Poll Button??

[+Haggis Hunter]

On the top right hand corner of the thread & forum pages there is a button called New Poll, but when you click on this button it says you can't start a Poll.

 

So the question has got to be, What is it for???

I tried and I couldn't either, so much for moderator's priviledges

The answer is (and this may startle the unwary) - it's for conducting polls with.

 

Which in our case we have not got - and a dam' good thing too, IMHO.

 

The button is a standard part of the kit, when you buy forum software like what this here is. A sysop can disable the polling feature when setting up the forum software, but the button remains.

 

If it were to be removed, that would simply replace all the "Something's wrong - the poll button doesn't work" queries, with "The poll button has disappeared - does this mean the sky will fall on my head?" queries.

 

So there you have it.

 

Or rather, you don't...
