Is there an option (one I'm not seeing, obviously) to search for threads that have polls attached to them?

If so, is that possible/ easy to implement?

Would others find that useful, or is just me?

I think that's a good idea too.

I'd use it.

Is this to make it easier for you to find out if a poll you want to start already exist?

Also bump.

Not only that, but it's fun to vote in polls! How can we rest until we've voted in each and every poll that exists in the forums? :D

Even scarier, what do we do when we've voted in them all? :shock:



Seriously, though, yes it's so that I wouldn't start one which already exists.

Also bump. Yes, sometimes.

Other times, when people ask questions, I like to be able to refer them to polls (KDE vs. Gnome, Epiphany vs. Firefox, Sex and Gender polls, etc.) instead of just threads.

I would like to know. What do you need to write in a thread to attach a poll (to make it appear like these. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=116646, with that nice voting interface)?

I did that. But I don't know if there is any special formatting you need to perform on the thread to make it be recognized (I tried ticking that box but the options appear in the old way when seen in the "preview" function).

Currently I don't think there is an option to just search for polls. I'll look into it thought :)
