I want to set up a poll but I have no clue how to do it 🀷

Any help out there? πŸ™‚

I was thinking about making one like: pick the best movie from this actor.

I'd make a poll like: pick the best movie by this actor.

It’s pretty straightforwardβ€”you just hit the New Thread button, type out your title and the main body of your post, and then look down at the bottom where you'll see the Create Poll option. Check that box, specify how many choices you want, and submit the thread; the system will automatically redirect you to a page where you can fill in the poll's question and all your specific options.

For instance, if that actor has four movies you'd include, just set the Number of poll options to 4 before submitting the initial thread. Once you're redirected, you simply enter the question (like "Which is your favorite movie starring [Actor Name]?"), list the first film in option 1, the second in option 2, and so on, then hit post.

P.S.β€”You also have the choice to let users vote for multiple items or keep the results private, depending on whether you want people to see exactly what everyone else picked.

That's really all there is to it.

Cheers. πŸ™‚

What if there's actually more than one question in the survey?

Wait, what do you mean by more questions?

Are you thinking like, "What's Brad Pitt's best movie?" followed by a list of options...
.........and then maybe: "What's George Clooney's best movie?" with its own set of answers?

Is that it?

I guess that wouldn't really work, sorry.

You can't actually build a multi-question poll here.
But if you're just looking for simple Yes/No style answers, you could always tuck your extra questions into the response options themselvesβ€”just turn them into those popular checkboxes where people can pick more than one.
