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

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

Maybe the line break thing is what’s getting me

> One of the stations did a BTTF marathon this past weekend and I was explaining to Mrs. Cups (who hasn’t seen any of the movies) why they’re good and why I like the second one the best (I think going back to the first movie is a fun twist). She asked “Do most people like the second one better?” and my first instinct was to say yes, but then I thought that honestly most people probably like the first more. So I ask, which BTTF is your favorite? (I’m including three but, you know, no one really l…
