Frequently Asked Questions about Quick Polls

Q: Can I display old Quick Polls in the archives?

A: Yes.  All Quick Polls are saved even when the question is no longer active.  You can edit the Quick Poll settings under the Site Management and select if the old polls should be displayed in the archives.

Q: Is there a maximum number of answers I can set?

A: It is possible to set an unlimited number of answers, but bear in mind that having too many answers will probably not look too good and will be very hard to handle.  The ideal number of answers depends on the question, but is usually somewhere between two and six.

Q: Is it possible to create more than one Quick Poll at a time?

A: Yes.  You can create Quick Polls in advance by setting a Quick Poll to begin at a predetermined time.  This allows you to plan and create questions in advance whenever you have the time.

Q: Is it possible for users to comment on the answer they have chosen or to share their ideas about the subject?

A: For now, this is not possible.  The Quick Poll is, as the name suggests, intended to be a quick way of surveying people's opinions, and a quick way to view the results.

Q: Is it possible to include the number of responses in the results?

A: Yes.  With the Quick Poll settings, you can choose to display the number of responses in numbers, percentages or a graph.  You can also choose whether the results are shown before the poll is taken or only after the respondent has answered.
