Hmmm, now I have to wonder how many other members may have inadvertently voted "Yes" because they saw this posted poll & the voting button within it, rather than realize the poll was asking if they can actually see the New Poll button on the RC Tank forum main index page to create a new poll for themselves.



It should be fairly simple to test if making a new poll works for a member, because the link code is the same across the forums. For instance below is the button's link code for creating a new poll under the "RC Combat" forum. If I click on the link it opens up a new page allowing me to create & post a new poll under the "RC Combat" forum with forumid "94".

If I just change the "forumid" in the above link to another forum where I can also see the "New Poll" button showing onscreen beside the "New Post" button, like the "RC Humor" forum which uses "177", it opens up a new page allowing me to create a new poll under that forum instead.

Now, if I change the link's forumid to be that of the "RC Tank" forum, "369",
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/post...mp;forumid=369

I get an error screen telling me this:

<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">"Post New Poll<font color="ffffff">Post New Poll </font><font color="ffffff">Post New Poll </font></div><div style="margin-left: 40px;">Either the feature is disabled, or you do not have sufficient permission.

The attached image below shows how I see the RCTank subforum, with a "New Post" button, but without any "New Poll" button where it should be located.
