Thanks **Green Wyvern**. I don’t know if I would have ever figured that out on my own.

Everyone who has gone to the trouble to post in this thread: Would you please vote again in the new thread I just posted where I got the polling feature to work thanks to GreenWyvern’s advice.

Moderators: Can you delete this now duplicate thread to avoid confusion?
