I’d like to ask what type of masks people are using in IMHO. How do I create a Poll?
Will it ask me like on the old board?
I didn’t want to post until I knew for sure.

No, it’s not the same as the old system.
There are a couple of different methods that you can use to create polls on Discourse. See the instructions here:
> **[Create a poll that others can vote on](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-a-poll-that-others-can-vote-on/77548)**
>
> ℹ By default, polls are enabled in Discourse and users of trust level 1 or above are allowed to create them. Site admins can adjust who can create polls via the poll minimum trust level to create site setting and disable polls using the poll...
Feel free to create a test poll in ATMB to try it out before making your real poll.

Thank you.
I’ll post a test shortly.

Well, There’s Good News and Bad news.
Good News: I ran the Poll Wizard and it created the poll.
Bad News: it went into Mundane.
I was in About This Message board. Read this thread and the help on creating polls. Hit back arrow and New Topic.
I don’t know how it went into Mundane.🤔

Ok, I learned how to create a poll using the Wizard Script. I appreciate the help.
I’m slowly climbing the Discourse learning curve. 👍
