There is no build a poll option showing up in the gear symbol or anywhere. Options there are-

Where’s the poll. builder hiding. I can usually figure this stuff out and pretty sure I’ve used it before now I’m confused.

ETA Apparently one has to be in desktop mode to build the poll. Im using mobile view and it doesn’t offer a poll option.

Huh, i mostly use Discourse on my phone. It’s a pita to make polls on my phone, but I’ve done it several times.

Almost there but I’d like a title or to pose the poll question first.

Huh? Do you mean my instructions? Or are there invisible ones I missed?

Title is found by clicking the gear in the poll builder. Lower left corner.
  • Huh?
  • Did you mean my Instructions?
  • Are there invisible ones I missed?
  • Under the gear is also how to check “show who Voted”

Thanks! I found the gear in lower rh for adding options and still can you confirm that only in desktop view is where the poll option is available?

Sounds right, but I don’t know. I mainly use a PC or laptop.
