Hi,

you can create polls with writing an new post. please be sure that the forum where you want to post in, allows polls.

You can also set in ACP -> portal, which forums do you want to show in the portal pollblock.

this is the forum id which is shown in portal in the poll block. you can input one or more forum ids.

If you dont know the forum id of your poll forum, just go in your forum index, and put the mouse over the link from you poll forum. in the url you can see the forum id, and then put these in the ACP portal config.

this is an link of an topic, not of an forum

the forum id you get in an url that looks like http://blackangelproductions.co.uk/forums/announcements-vf7.html

vf7 stays for viewforum no. 7

so if this is your poll forum, put the number 7 in the ACP portal config

you simply have to post a message in your Poll Forum ID...  :roll: 

I suggest you to create a new forum called [i]"Polls"[/i], identify its forum ID (as Kugel said), put its ID in ACP, go to [i]"Polls Forum"[/i] and write a post with your poll options...
That's all.  :mryellow:

Re: Poll Help Plz

well i'm a dufus at this stuff and by following your instructions very carefully (and slowly so i didn't miss a trick) it worked for me.

However, to make it easier for other people who search the forums for this answer, here's the step by step instructions :-)

1. Go to your forum and create a forum specifically for your Polls.
2. Create a thread inside the poll forum and put a poll in the thread (eg, do you like this site?)
3. Get the forum id, by returning to the forum homepage (that's the forum.php page not the home link) and retrieve the id number. To do this, hover your mouse over the Polls forum that you created in step 1, and read the URL. at the end will be a number (mine was 17), and this is your poll ID.
4. Go to your Admin Control Panel (ACP)
5. Click on Portal then on Portal Configuration.
6. Scroll down to just passed half way and look for [quote]Poll Forum ID(s) comma delimited [ poll block ][/quote] Enter your ID from step 3 in this place. 
7. Scroll down and click on Submit
8. View your poll on the front page!
