Whenever I submit a reply or a new thread, there’s a nifty little paragragh that is displayed thanking me for my submission and advising me I’ll now be returned to the new or newly replied to thread. The last line of the paragraph reads: If you opted to post a poll you will now be allowed to do so. What’s that all about? ---

It’s one of the little extra added features of vB, one that we have chosen not to use for the extra bandwidth it takes. There’s all sorts of add-ons that we could use, had we time and bandwidth to do so. Wish we could do more, but at the present time we’re doing good to have a board! your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

Thanks much, Tuba. I just assumed it was some feature _I_ was overlooking.
