Default Setting up polls

I was wondering how come a thread can't be seen along with a poll. I wanted to explain in detail what the poll is about so I started a thread, wrote a bunch of stuff, and then chose the "post a poll" option. I then created a poll and then submitted the poll. When I went to check my own thread, all I saw were the poll choices and not the stuff I wrote in the thread itself. What's wrong? I know other forums allow you to see what you originally wrote in the thread along with your poll votes.

I'm not sure exactly how it works since I rarely do it, and when I do it's int the testing section where I can remind myself how to do it. If you start one over there, let me know so I can see what your end result is versus what it is you are trying to do and I will see if I can help.

I think you only get the window to type in that opens after you submit the poll. There is also a 5 min. time limit to enter your poll options. I put the poll first and edited my thread to add text, pics, and links, can't change poll options though. I've been doing my big stuff in notepad and pasting, so frustrating to lose a long post

Did you need your poll on the led guage lights to come out differently ?
