Default [RESOLVED] Show polls on portal page, how??

ON my portal page there is an option to show the Polls but I cant figure out where do I create poll.

Do I create polls in one certain section or can I do that in multiple section so it shows on my portal page?

I created a poll in 1 section but it does not show on my portal page, how do I get that poll to show?

Need some help.
Thanks

Hello,

Quote:
* News forum(s) & Poll forum(s): Here comes the tricky part, what you need to do is make a new forum called say "Portal Stuff" and make that forum hidden from all members, then open the forum you just made and in the address bar you will see the address something like this: http://www.myforum.com/viewforum.php?f=44, now copy and paste the forum ID (the one shown in blue) into the to boxes called "News forum(s)"and "Poll forum(s)" and then you have finished that part.

They cant see the hidden forum (Unless you let them), So you take the number of the forum and stick it there to get the polls.

Are you sure you only entered the forum ID?

1. Create a forum called "Polls" or something that is related to polls.
2. Go to the forum and see the # at the end of the URL.
3. Paste that # into Poll forum(s)
4. Now the last poll in the forum will appear in the portal

All the best!

Best Community you may ever imagine.........

Why do you need to hide the poll from members?
The portal automatically picks up the latest poll if there is more than one active poll.

Looking for sponsorships, that could earn you a lot in return...
