I’m seeing it done and I’d love to do one.

Don’t see the sticky anymore.

No info in the FAQ.

How do you do it? Where can I find answers?

Why not just do a test poll in ATMB, where test posts are done? When you start a new thread, there’s a check box at the bottom of the screen that lets you turn it into a poll. Click submit, and it walks you through the process.

Thanks for your help!

Just a suggestion, perhaps we could change “creating and participating in polls” to just “polls”.

I truly did look around, even did a search of FAQ and didn’t see it.
