Will @Sir_T-Cups get polls to work?

  • Reply hazy, try again
  • Ask again later

Yeah that’s a big no, I don’t understand why it won’t show up. I put in the options and hit “generate poll” and it doesn’t work.

How do you get it to work in a reply?[poll type=multiple results=always min=1 max=2 chartType=bar]

  • Can I get this to work?
  • I’m guessing no
  • Here’s a third thing
    [/poll]

WTF what am I doing wrong

Try this: instead of putting in the options first, click the gear thing and select “Build Poll,” then put in your options.

Also, put in a line break (return) before you go to insert a poll. In the above, you need a line break after “How do you get it to work in a reply?” Discourse doesn’t like not having a line break before certain commands.

This is what you get without the line break:[poll type=regular results=always chartType=bar]

  • Test one
  • Test two
    [/poll]

And, this is what you get if you put in a line break:

  • Test one
  • Test two

Maybe the line break thing is what’s getting me

  • Will this work?
  • Oh God it won’t work
