So, a poll is used to know the different points of view of each people. The members who voted stay anonymously.
How to create a poll?
In this field, put the title for the topic (The topic title is no necessarily the poll question. Example: Your favourite fruits).
In this block, you must put a message which explains or introduce the poll (Example : There are dozens of different fruits in the world. Some of them are surely better than others according to your personal tastes... Which are your favourite friuts?)
Put a title to yoru poll. This must be short, but explicative. The members refer often to the question to vote. (Example: Which are your favourite fruits?)
Place here your different options for your poll. They must be separated by a line break. The number of polls available are 50.
If the value you entered is 10, this means that you can integrate 10 choices maximum to your polls. this value can't be exceeded, but the number of choices can be lower than 10.
Here is how to separate the poll options :
Indicate the number of days while your members can vote. If you want this value to be unlimited (until you close it manually), write "0" or simply leave this field blank.
Tick one of these two checkboxes, according to the type of poll you want: Multiple-choice poll or Non-multiple-choice poll. Multiple choice allows you to choose more than one poll option per vote.
Multiple choice poll (Examples) :
-Your favourite fruits
-Your favourite sports
-etc.
Non-multiple choice poll (Examples) :
-Do you like pedobear ?
-Should we make more chit chat ?
-etc.

Here is what the members should see :
1- Here is what the members see when they haven't voted yet :
2- Here is what the members see once the first choices ticked (If Multiple choice poll : Yes is ticked)
3- Here's what the members see once they submitted their vote(s) :

How to reset the votes back to zero?
All of this is done in four simple steps :
1- Edit your first post of the thread that contains the poll
2- Tick the checkbox "Delete the poll"
3- Click on "Send"
4- Edit your first post and add the poll again
Can I define who is allowed to cast a poll?
Yes, you can do that in your forum permissions as this is defined for each of your forums individually. Go to "General / Categories & Forums" and click on the forum you want to modify and switch then to the permissions tab. Eventually, you have to enable the advanced mode first. Now just mark the appropriate boxes for "create a poll" and "vote.
