Why don’t I ever see the option to create a poll anymore when starting a new thread?

I see the option [here](https://imgur.com/a/zQZl1OL)about midway down the page. Where it says “post a poll.”

As far as I am aware, nothing has changed on the SDMB side.

What OS/Browser are you using, what versions, and what SDMB theme are you using (Straight Dope 3.7.3 or Sultanstheme)?

Ahh, that’s it. I had that options window closed. Appreciate it, y’all may close this thread.
