Please delete this... it didn't work again. I was trying to make a poll and for whatever reason its not letting me... sorry.
While creating the thread there is an option to add the poll. BTW, check this thread. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=80148
I selected the poll option and the number of options I wanted in the poll but it just posted the thread straight away... That thread you directed me to isn't quite what I'm after I really like looking at the poll graphically and lots more people vote than they post and you want as many people as possible so you can see a good distribution if you know what I mean.
