Polls, alone, in the current post are fine.

However, if you reference one… \<I tried to find a poll in this forum, but could not find one, so see my example below\>

[https://forum.imperium42.com/t/the-forums-new-default-theme-is-dark/71825](https://forum.imperium42.com/t/the-forums-new-default-theme-is-dark/71825)

You can see a “show results” btn:

However, clicking it does nothing. Also note the preview **text** shows “0 voters”.

If you click the top right arrow to dropdown more info:

Everything is 0.

However, clicking inside:

Do you mean quoting a poll?

I think we should stop trying to do some of this fancy @zogstrip

Yeah, quoting a poll doesn’t work. Will fix.

The onebox will now only show a link to the poll instead of it’s content thank to @nbianca’s work.

@maja, can you have a look at how easy/hard it would be to show the polls data when clicking the top right arrow to “embed” the whole post?
