Never done it, sorry!
If you tick the 'add a poll' box at the bottom of the new thread screen, and then enter the number of options, what happens? Does it take you to another screen to title the options?

Hi Fleabitten T - I tried that and thought I'd preview what I am posting but it doesn't let you type in any questions for you to poll!! Could be me being a pre 1980 kid though..... I too thought it'd take you to another screen but it doens't appear to!

Hmmmm, odd! Ok, found this:
How do I create a new poll?
When you post a new thread, you may also have the option to create a poll.
To create a poll when you post a new thread, simply click the 'Yes, post a poll with this thread' 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 stays open for voting for only a week.
How do I vote in a poll and view the results?
To vote in a poll, simply select which option you want to vote for, and click the 'Vote!' button. Sometime you can choose more than one option. You can see 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.
Note whether or not a poll is a public poll. If it is, any votes you cast will be attributable to you.
Generally, once you have voted in a poll, you will not be able to change your vote later, so place your vote carefully!
So looks like you have to click sumbit to add the options, rather than previewing.
Hope it helps!

Fleabitten T - you're a legend. I will try it a little later on! Just about to have supper. I did sweep the search on starting a poll before posting but didn't have any luck! Many Thanks
