• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

In forums where you are allowed to create a poll you will see a tab called Poll at the top, next to Discussion. If it is not there, the forum does not allow polls.

Fill out your chat as normal,

  • Question: Just type in the question for the poll
  • Possible Responses are the options that you are presenting to members. 2 boxes are shown by default and at least 2 need to be filled in. If you want more, then click on the Add Additional Response button and you will get another line. Click on it again and you will be up to 4... you can have a maximum of 10.
  • Maximum Selectable Responses is basically how many answers you will allow members to select. Single response, unlimited or you choose which the maximum a member can select
  • Options: this is where you set any restrictions, such as allowing members to change their vote, allowing the results to be seen publically and without it, you will be the only person who can see the answers, allow the results to be seen without voting, and finally setting a time limit on the poll.

Now click Create Thread as normal.
