Creating Polls with Screenshot Explained (Guide)

[Stuart]

It is simple and self-explanatory, so long you know what you want to place in the poll for the users to vote on. But if there still be some uncertainty, here in a brief explanation on how it goes.


In the above image:
1) Subject: This is the topic of your post, which covers both the poll and the discussion that will come underneath.
2) Message Icon: You can leave it as Standard or your choice to change, as it has no much thing to do with the post you are making, except you just want to cause little attraction, as almost 90% post made in the forum are all standard. For polls, it automatically changes by itself.
3) Question: This is where the poll question comes in, which is mostly seen at the top of the thread before your discussion under.
4) Option 1 - 5: These are the spaces where you are to give your options to be selected.
5) Add Option: This is only used if the available options (1-5) is not enough for your poll.
6) Maximum Votes per user: How many times do you want a user to vote in the poll created? This all depends on the poll creator, as it can be more than one, but one has been set as default.
7) Run the poll for: This is how long you want this poll to last, it could be 1, 2, 3 weeks etc.
8) Allow users to change vote: This is valid if you want users who has casted their votes to change it later on.
9) Result Visibility: This part is interested in how you want the result of the vote to be displayed to the users, as it can be shown to anyone, someone who voted or after the poll has expired.

I hope this serves well.

This is really impressive. I appreciate you, @OP, for putting this together. Each step is well explained, and it is very simple and clear for a first-timer to understand without having to stress the brain. Although this may seem easy to some people, trust me, there are others, especially newbies, who have been struggling to put this together. This thread will be of great help to them.

I guess this thread is a result of an user asking about poll in this thread How to effectively create a poll.
And you really summed up well, that will be helpful for anyone who is wondering how to create one.

My only suggestion will be add the keyword "[Guide]" in the title.

Thank @Stuart for this topic. I didn't have any issues with the poll, but perhaps many new members will be confused when learning about the most important features of AltcoinsTalks. Removing that barrier is extremely important so we can have more topics and polls for discussion and analysis. Usually members might be too lazy to comment, but they might vote to share their personal views.

I look forward to similar topics from you. AltcoinsTalks really needs them to become more friendly to everyone, and also to become more valuable for the crypto market in the long run!

I have just added Guide to the title, as truly it is an explanation guideline for anyone who might find it difficult or having a little glitch on setting up a poll.

It will be simple to those who has fluency with the internet and filling up forms online, otherwise, it could be a little bit confusing for total newbies in the forum and maybe internet as well.
