However, nathank expressed interest in having this feature, and JammyDodger mentioned a theme component that works with numerical polls and suggested the possibility of adapting it for word-based polls. The conversation highlights the need for a proper feature request to allow polls in banners.

I added this poll to my instance, but the question doesn’t appear. How can I create a poll that looks more intuitive to users?
People had voted but it displayed zero voters.

You must write the question outside the poll:

  • cat
  • dog
  • capybara
0 voters

Are you on the very latest version of Discourse?
