    I'm with Macybaby & cashs_mom, No problem voting on a poll but no desire to create one.

    I'd rather have a "like - dislike" or "yes - no" with a comment optional. I believe you would get many more responses as some do not (now) like to write a reply but would be OK to click a yes/no type.

    Polls would make a lot of sense for members looking for feedback on border options, block layouts, or other design options they are considering. I would prefer not to have polls on some of the “general interest” or personal questions and I would probably would not respond to those questions. Not sure how the polls would be handled - if members would be setting up the polls or if it would be an added task for administrators.

    This. Also I used a poll on another board to sound out a friend's favorite colors before I made her a comfort quilt. It was answered by most people on the board, but it was Catbird's answers that I was looking for.

    For the board, I would vote (not create, so much).... Other polls I ignore since people can cast multiples votes and the results would have no integrity. But on the board? Sure..However, I like reading the comments since the reasoning behind suggestions are often explained.

    I think people might answer a poll question when they wouldn't post a comment.

    when a poster wants feedback on which border, etc a poll makes a lot of sense. Otherwise I can't really think of a way to use it. I don't often ask for that type of feedback, so that's why I checked maybe.
