Where has the "Polling" option gone?

Post by Bandung_Dero » February 17, 2025, 5:25 pm

In days gone by we could create a Poll to get a vote on a members reaction to certain issues.

Where has it gone?

I believe there are some 15 to 20K expats here in Udon on visa extensions, all with different ideas on how they are going to handle this tax BS. Would be an interesting correlation.

Obviously the numbers aren't here but we could get an idea.

Why don't you just use this thread to ask how everyone is handling it?

From ChatGPT 4o:

In phpBB, the polling feature is built into the forum and can be enabled when creating or editing a topic. Here’s how you can access and use it:

Enabling Polls for a New Topic
Log in to your phpBB forum as a user with permissions to create polls.
Navigate to the forum where you want to post the poll.
Click "New Topic" to start a new discussion.
Enter the Topic Title and Message as usual.
Scroll down to the "Poll Creation" section, usually found below the text editor.
Fill out the Poll details:
"Poll question": Enter the question you want to ask.
"Poll options": Enter the answer choices, one per line.
"Run poll for": Set the number of days the poll should be open (leave blank for no time limit).
"Options per user": Choose how many options a user can select.
"Allow re-voting": Decide if users can change their votes.
Click "Submit" to create the topic with the poll.

I just had a look and it seems possible:

Yes, I just checked, and polls are turned on. If you have problems, please send me an email to [email protected] and include the specifics, -- where are you trying to create the poll, and include your UM username. I'll check to see if there's a problem.

Get to it BD. Probably only one question with a choice of two answers is all that's needed.

Are you worried about the Thai income tax rules, yes or no.
