Start a a topic and then edit the poll into it. It's happened to me before, and I've awnsered it in another topic also. Search?

I'm looking into this but not sure what is causing it.  I think it is only affecting this forum and not others.

This has been happening to me for a long time as well. It's only in this forum section, though. At least I think so.

Alright... it obviously isn't a problem with permissions in the forum since I'm an administrator and it just happened to me in the beta forums. 

I tried it with 3 different browsers (firefox, Opera, and Konqueror) and it did it in all 3, so it most likely is not a browser issue.  I ended up having to post the topic and add a poll to it afterwards. 

I will look into this when I have some time.  A quick google search doesn't show this happening to anyone else, so it may be something in our code in specific.  Hopefully we'll resolve it, but until then just post a topic and add a poll later if this happens to you

What sections of the forum is it happening in Fluffy? I know it's happened to me in Game Improvements/Suggestions. Is it happening in this forum also?

Apparently it's the entire forum suffering from this.  No telling when it will get fixed, Bricks is a busy man.  We can wait it out though, I'm in no rush and no polls isn't really that big a problem.
