New polls feature!

[EmilieT]

Hi guys, 

As we mentioned here last month, while we are waiting for the homepage feedback to be reviewed further, there were a few minor things we are working on improving, fixing, or enabling.

One of these new things is now available, which means we are able to use a side-board widget to create polls! These polls can be board-specific, or display across all boards on the community. We are planning on using them to get your input on different things, get an idea of your sentiment towards possible changes, activities, off-topic or O2/tech related ideas. A big advantage of polls is that it can help newer members who mainly read and browse take their first steps in the community and start engaging with us all very easily

To kick this off, I created a test poll on the discussions & feedback board, and I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this feature. If you have any ideas on fun (or serious) polls you'd like us to try out, let us know in the comments as well!

@jonsie 100% correct 

@welshsteve76 Once we close a poll, the widget on the side of the board disappears. This was a "test" one so I closed it now, but when we post another one you'll see it again and be able to vote

Thanks @EmilieT

Thank you 😀 @EmilieT, I thought that was how it worked. 👍
