I am trying to finish the poll in my project thread but I can't seem to find a relating button anywhere. Also how do you start a new poll after finishing a poll because I need to put down this weeks poll in a bit. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I've found the polls feature on this website to be lacking as well. When you initially create a poll, you're given options to add questions, add an ending time, etc., and sadly this is also the only time you can change these options. I suppose it makes sense that you can't edit a poll since altering a question could change what people would want to respond, but to answer your question, the only way to delete a poll is to delete the thread under the "Edit Post" and then "Go Advanced" options, and the only way to finish a poll is to set a time when you first create the poll.

I am trying to finish the poll in my project thread but I can't seem to find a relating button anywhere. If you've set the poll with no closing deadline, you can't manually close it, although a moderator/administrator can. Also how do you start a new poll after finishing a poll because I need to put down this weeks poll in a bit. If you want to put a new poll in the same thread as an existing poll, you'll have to ask an administrator to remove the existing poll, then you can add in a new one. Best thing to do if you want to change or delete a poll is to use the "Report Post" button on the OP of the thread, and use the "Reason" box to request what you want done to it.

When you initially create a poll, you're given options to add questions, add an ending time, etc., and sadly this is also the only time you can change these options. Yeah. I guess the designers envisaged that you'd always use a separate thread for each poll, so there'd never be a need to change an existing poll, thus preventing the poster from manipulating the results.
