sorry but i haven't read something that helps me understand the step-by-step stages on this yet, probably me being thick.

How do i set up a poll please?

When you start a new posting, scroll down and the last option should say "start a poll". Select that and follow the instructions.

I just tried this, and I still can't work out how to do it. When I tick the box to set up a poll, nothing happens. I thought it would refresh, and give me some boxes to type poll options into, or something.

If memory serves you have to submit the post and then it gives you the poll setting options.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
