Creating a poll - what is the secret?

[Lux_et_veritas]

I've tried several times with the box checked to make my post a poll. I type in the number of questions, type something in the message area, and a title, and hit submit. All I get is an error.

What am I doing wrong? I've tried several times. I've posted polls on other forums and never ran into a problem like this.

After typing out your initial post, scroll down past the "Submit New Thread" button to the "Additional Options" box.

Under "Post a Poll," check the box that says "Yes, post a poll with this thread."
You can also specify the number of user choices you want for your poll.

Now click the "Submit New Thread" button and you will be taken to the poll creation page.
