Suggestion: All Tools New Members Might Need In One Place

Hello, poll makers, I'm still learning to write polls. I took the liberty of putting in one place all tools that I thought a new member of the forum might need (I use them a lot). I hope it may be useful and you dont interpret it as cheeky. Thank you for your feedback.

1- How to write a good poll, read the heading "Additional advice"

2- How to make a list that eventually can become a poll

3- How NOT to make the same poll TWICE, search if your poll has already been done by somebody else

4- How to format text and insert links

6- How to insert links inside the list text

8- How to google search your live polls

10- How to Improve the Chance of Having your Poll on the Home Page

I could've sworn Dan Dassow already posted an index like that (but more verbose) some time ago.

jeorj,

Yes, I do.

FAQ: Key Threads - IMDb Poll FAQs Index

Unfortunately, because Sprinklr has a character count limit for posts, I cannot update this FAQ without radically changing the FAQ.
