It’s right there, I admit that, but I scan over it almost every time. So I know it’s right there, but I miss it anyway.

Wish it was bolder or a different color to make it more visible than it already is.

No, no confusion. I thought it was both that Mods and Admins could read. Glad to be aware they _can_ read private polls if so desired.
