Polls are live! (Let's burn-test them 🚀)

Hey everyone! The poll module is officially up and running.

To give it a quick test drive, let's start with the most important question for this forum...

Drop your vote above and let me know if everything works smoothly on your end!

It's fine, but for more transparency it will be great to see the numbers of votes, not just the percent.
Because volume matters also, and sometimes more than the percent.

Eheheh, we've learned from the Haiku forum polls that get flipped around depending on the will of whoever creates them. In reality, I need to check how to handle this module. 🙂

I'll make sure to publish the results for those whose desktop is on fire 😉

update:
Maybe you don't see it because you haven't voted, because I can see the number of voters

Atomozero Oh, miss the tooltip showing the numbers. Ok, then.

This is great and will come in very handy.
How does someone create a poll?

For now, you can only create it in a new topic. With the version we're using for the forum, we can't embed a poll in the middle of the posts. As soon as version 2 of the forum gets a stable release, I'll update it and we'll be able to do that.
For now, we can create a new topic, and next to the title, there's a button for polls.
