How to post a voting poll in your forum

Its really easy to have a voting poll in your forum board. Just follow the steps below:

  1. Make sure that you have signed up for the Poll Builder tool and create your poll.

  2. For the poll that you have created, click on the 'HTML Code' button and copy the the HTML code given and paste it into your favourite text editor e.g. Notepad.

  3. Now go to your forum and log on as moderator.

  4. Click on 'New Topic'

  5. In the 'Message' box paste the HTML code of the poll.

  6. Tick the box which says 'is HTML' (located just above the message). When this box is ticked then the forum message is known to be HTML code and is rendered as such.

  7. Enter a 'Topic' title, this will typically be the name of the poll.

  8. That's it. Now when you view the forum message that you've just created you will see the poll.

  9. If you do not want your visitors to add replies to your voting poll, then you can lock the topic that you have just created.
