    This is just a test post to see if I can remove a poll once added. (in response to jhanlon303)

    Do you think I'll be able to?

    Edit - I don't see an option under advanced editting after adding this poll... maybe if I wait for it to end.

    I can't even remove the poll, but I can mess with it...

    Behold the power of a Mod!
    (I'm guessing... since I can't see it anymore, and cpemma's got that big grin on his face!)

    I think I broke it! :worried: :D
    Got a VB database error and took me forever to get back to BT.

    So let me know how you managed this?

    In the top right corner of each post is a check-box, used when we want to split some posts out of a thread. I checked all posts in the thread and copied them to a new thread (the poll was not copied), moved the original out of the way then just copied them back in its place. Like Mr_Tad, I could close or change the poll but not just remove it. We have to do lateral thinking.

    I think the whole world got the vB error.

    I thought that would work, but had better things to do with my time. Apparently you did not :lol:

    Would you believe I don't think I can change the permissions for this in the admincp.
