You can only do what the software allows. Discourse seems good in some ways but is the forum version of a control freak in others. Such software should provide maximum flexibility and power to users. Subject to staff modification of course. Unless there is an add on for polls then that’s the way it is. No big deal though. It mostly does the job as is.
Looking forward to the next challenge. Not so concerned with winning these but I get inspiration from the themes and advice from the forum members.
