@Jessica, Thank you for pointing out the typo. I've corrected it here and in the list.

An actual poll subject would be better. For example your Gilligan's Island poll could easily have included bullet points etc.

Does this really be released as a poll, sometimes? If yes, I think it's well done. But people will wonder about the subject of the poll, when Gilligan's Island is the additional subject. It would interfere with the core subject of how a poll would best be designed. Or did I get the intention wrong?

I'd pick the option "Numbered List".

@Peter_pbn, I intentionally kept the Gilligan's Island poll as simple as possible to determine whether the Redesigned Poll software properly handles a list with large amount of text in the description. Fortunately, the Redesigned Poll software passed this test. I agree that creating a poll that tests the Redesigned Poll software and is also a good poll is challenging. Sometimes, one has to include marginal polls for these kind of tests.

If it's a matter of seeing how such lists look, you could add them to your live poll in a re-push.

@Peter_pbn, I would prefer not to edit a poll that works fine. Also, if there are problems, it is much easier to diagnose the problem with a poll designed for the express purpose of testing various lists types.

@Peter_pbn, @Breumaster, and @Jessica, I came up with a better way to test how the Redesigned Poll software renders lists. Star Trek: Alternate Casting of Capt. Kirk, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Spock https://www.imdb.com/list/ls4788876387/ = = = I hope I don't make a large number of Star Trek fans unhappy with this poll.

Still looks better with numbering: 1. ... 2. ... 3. ... Braces are also ok for me: 1) ... 2) ... 3) ... But numbers are besser.
