A question for Subscribed members

[hippie37]

Am I right in thinking that you can introduce polls into the general population if you are a subscribed member?

The reason I am asking is that in light of tkeene's post this morning with a link to a Newsweek article concerning addictions and the whole 'disease' approach it would be interesting to see how many take the same approach to their own sobriety. That is to say who is treating their drinking problem as such and using meds to combat it or who is treating it with a more psychological approach. It would be interesting to see don't you think?

Hi hippie,
I am a subcriber, I just went into that forum and as far as I can tell, we also are not able to instigate a poll. I think that keene is correct, that only RJ is able to do this.

But, I think that your idea for a poll is brilliant and would be estremely interesting! Why don't you PM RJ with your idea!!

Carpe Diem

Polls

Hi. All Subscribers can post polls and all members can respond. I've borrowed instructions from another site to explain how it works:

----
Creating a new poll

When you post a new thread, you have the option to also create a poll.

This function allows you to ask a question and specify a number of possible responses. Other members will then be able to vote for the response they wish and the results of the voting will be displayed in the thread.
An example poll might be:

What is your favorite color?[list type=decimal][*]Red[*]Blue[*]YellowGreenSky-blue pink with yellow spots[/list type=decimal]

To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes! post a poll' checkbox at the bottom of the page, and set the number of possible responses you want to include.


When you click the submit button, you will be taken to the poll creation page, where you can specify the question and the list of responses you want to include.


You may also want to specify a time limit for the poll, so that (for example) it only stays open for voting for a week.
Voting in and viewing a poll

To vote in a poll, simply select which option you want to vote for, and click the [Vote!] button. You may view the current results for a poll before you vote by clicking the 'View Results' link. Voting in a poll is entirely optional. You may vote for any of the available options, or cast no vote at all.

Thanks.
