I'm feel the answer is going to be "Yes, Chris; you can't do that", followed by the smiley for :HugeSigfhOfRelief:
I know how to post a poll question, but I suspect one can only start a poll as a New Topic.
I suspect that One cannot throw in a poll as a reply to an existing post in an existing thread.
Is my suspicion well-founded?
Thanks
Chris

You are quite right - a poll can only be created in the first post of a thread, not in a reply.
Best wishes,

You can place a link into the OP of the poll thread that points to the post in the thread in question.

That gave me an idea for a poll addressing the issue of whether "these links are useful", with a spray of links to various random threads ...

After that poll you may want to do another followup poll to determine your popularity in the lounge! ![Crazy :crazy:](./images/smilies/crazy.gif)

For Chris, the apposite saying is: "He was world-famous in his home village"!
Yes, I know that Toronto is not a village, but you have to allow some degree of poetic licence!
