Hi,

I wanted to know what is the difference beetween "discussion" and "poll" when we click on "new" to create a discussion.

I always chose "discussion" but I wonder what is a poll and what will happen if we chose this?
(and don't answer "this forum will autodestroy itself" ! )

Hi there, Old Elf, Why don't you try it and find out?!

I think a poll is when you want to ask a question of members, to tally the results... if you chose 'Poll' it gives you a space for your message, the question and a list of possible answers. I've done this on message boards and people will chose their answer and the system will give you the number of people who chose particular responses.

It would work well for questions like: "Do you believe in Elves?" For example. And you could have listed 3 possible answers: "Yes." "No." or "Definatley cause I saw one and it spoke to me."

Dear Old Elf,I'm afraid the problem is the question: the one I put with similar subject was completly ignored, also !!!
Maybe is because nobody knows exactly what means a poll here...
Any news about, please tell me...

Why do this section if nobody never answer?

Or perhaps I am punished because I did or said something bad?...
I hope not (or, if it was the case, I hope someone of the team would be enought kind to tell it to me)...


Best regards .
