NEW CONNECTING SINGLES POLLS FEATURE (3)
Here are answers to some common questions members are asking us about the Polls feature:
Can I know which polls I have already voted on?
Yes. Click POLLS in the top nav bar. Notice the two tabs above each poll (POLL and RESULTS).
If you have not voted on the poll, you will be shown the POLL page first.
If you have already voted on that poll, the RESULTS tab will be open. So you can just scroll down the page and vote on any that the POLL tab is open on. As soon as you vote, the tab will turn over to RESULTS. If you want to see the poll again after you vote, you can click the POLL tab. Also on that page, there is a link to see how the votes break down based on gender and age. We think you will find this interesting.
Another way to see your polls is to click first on POLLS in the dark green top nav above, then click on the “MY POLLS” link. There you will see 2 tabs (MY POLLS CREATED and MY POLLS TAKEN).

I’d like to enter a poll just to gather the resulting numbers and more serious feedback. Does my poll HAVE to appear in the forum?
All polls are available to be voted on by all members. But NOT all polls have to be forum polls... it's up to each poll author. You can create a poll either to appear in the Forums (where it is open for discussion here), OR you can create a poll to appear only in the formal Polls area (open for comments there only). You should not create duplicates.
We created these two options because some authors may want to keep their poll in the Polls area where comments may be more serious, more focused and less likely to go off topic than a forum poll might be (did I say hijack?), while other poll authors may prefer the more active, casual discussion of their poll in a forum thread.

CS Polls is a new connecting tool on the site that allows you to post a question along with several multiple choice answers in a poll format, and get opinions from members about things that interest you. The polls may also provide interesting topics for discussion in the forums.
Enter a question with up to 10 multiple-choice answers. Each time a member votes on your poll, the total counts will be updated and the poll results will display on a bar graph. Polltakers will have the choice to enter a formal comment to the poll question in the Polls area and (when designated by the poll author) to enter discussion about the poll in a poll forum thread. Polls are easy to use and pretty much self-explanatory. You'll learn the features as you go along.
All polls are available to be voted on by all members. But NOT all polls have to be forum polls... it's up to each poll author. You can create a poll either to appear in the Canada Forums (where it is open for discussion here), OR you can create a poll to appear only in the formal Polls area (open for comments there only). You should not create duplicates.
We created these two choices because some authors may want to keep their poll in the Polls area where comments may be more serious, more focused and less likely to go off topic than a forum poll might, while other poll authors may prefer the more active, casual discussion of their poll in a forum thread.
To start a poll that WILL appear in your Canada Forums for discussion:
Click the new "CREATE NEW POLL" button above in the light green Forum nav bar (in your top navigation of a forum page, next to "Create New Thread").
Polltakers may vote directly in the first post of a poll thread.
To start a poll that will NOT appear in the Forums:
Click the "POLLS" link in the dark green top navigation bar.
Comments may then be entered in that Polls area only.
These polls will receive more focused comments that will not be as likely to go off topic as “sometimes” happens in a forum thread.
To view and vote on Polls created by other members:
Click “POLLS” in the dark green top nav bar to view and start voting.
Click “All Polls” to see a list of all the polls that have been entered so far
Voting:
Voting on polls is anonymous, usernames are not listed. Click on the "Vote Breakdown" link underneath a poll to see how the voting on that poll is broken down by gender and age (this is interesting).
To see the results of the poll in any thread:
Click on the "Results" tab and it will show you a bar graph of the voting. Click on the "Poll" tab to cast your vote.
We hope this is an interesting addition to the site and that you will find thought-provoking questions and topics that will be of interest to Canada members to vote on, comment on, and discuss.
Happy Holidays
