[display of poll] 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: What is your favorite animal? poll [image] communitygal: People had voted but it displayed zero voters. Are you on the very latest version of Discourse? There were bugs on polls that have already been fixed some time ago.

[image] communitygal: oh ok maybe the issue was just when it was pinned the banner Yep, for reference: [image] Poll not working on a banner topic Feature Hi Team Discourse ! I’m here to report on a little bug, when I create a topic with a poll and pin it to banner topic two things are broken : it is impossible to vote If we go inside the topic and vote, the result is not visible on the banner. I run in a fairly recent version (updated 2 or 3 days ago), but it doesn’t seem that it was fixed since then. There is nothing urgent, I noticed it on a little forum under construction, and I doubt these kinds of ideas are often used.

It would be very handy if they did!

There’s the GitHub - discourse/discourse-poll-banner: Display a poll from a topic as a banner for all logged-in users. · GitHub theme component that works off a numerical poll. I don’t know if someone could adapt it to handle ‘word-based’ ones in some way? There does seem to be a scattering of topics about having polls in banners, but I think a lot of them were initially bug reports that have been reclassified rather than a proper #feature request. It may be good to try and collate something to give it a better hearing and allow people to add their voice to the conversation.
