Hi,

We disabled users from posting polls via settings, but it seems admin/moderator can still make polls. Problem is once the poll/topic is created, the actual buttons aren’t clickable so the poll is visible but not usable.

The idea was we didn’t want users posting polls, but did want to allow staff - so it seemed like a great way of achieving that, except for the fact it didn’t work ☹

Would be good if we could restrict poll creation to a certain trust level.

v1.4.0.beta8
