Test seems to work. But why am I seeing a RED Close button with a padlock? Is that visible to anyone but me? I don’t understand why this went into Mundane? I was in About This Board. I read my post requesting help creating polls. I ran the Poll Wizard to create the poll. I never left About this Board? Somehow it ended up in Mundane ---

I get the lock as a poll creator but do not see yours. It lets you as the creator toggle whether the poll is still open for voting. ---

The OP title/question and the poll are non-sensical. The response to the thread title is a yes or no answer, not an amount. Maybe you were thinking of this: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Or the alternative: How much ground could a groundhog grind if a groundhog could grind ground? ---

This was a test poll intended for About this Message Board. I made an error in the Poll Wizard and this ended up in Mundane. It was a learning experience.😏 I’m still climbing the steep Discourse learning curve. ---
