Go to Admin CP and set up these settings.

Poll Settings:
System Settings -> Topics, Posts & Polls -> Polls

Poll Prefix:
System Settings -> Topics, Posts & Polls -> Topics -> Topic prefix for POLLS

Forum-Specific Settings:
Forum Control -> Manage Forums -> Settings -> Allow Polls in this forum (when allowed)?
Forum Control -> Manage Forums -> Settings -> Allow votes to bump a topic?
(generally set to No)

User Group-Specific Settings:
Users and Groups -> Manage User Groups -> Edit Group -> Posting Permissions -> Can start new polls (where allowed)?
Users and Groups -> Manage User Groups -> Edit Group -> Posting Permissions -> Can vote in polls (where allowed)?



To create a poll, click on "New Poll" (next to "New Topic"), and fill in for the information. The Poll Choices box controls what choices and how many choices you provide. The drop-down menu right above the box controls how many choices a user can select for voting.

For an existing thread, click on "Attach New Poll" (above the first post).

If you still get an error, please explain what specific steps you took and what the error message says exactly.

Are polls allowed for the forum/user group? How many choices did you input and how many did you select?

Maximum number of choices is set here:
Admin CP -> System Settings -> Topics, Posts & Polls -> Polls

When you create a poll, it should tell you somewhere near the box the maximum.

Input choices in the box, one per line. Those are the choices users can choose from.

One choice per line.

Quote:
 
Choice 1
Choice 2
Choice 3


Something like that.

No, I mean, list your options like that. After each option you should hit Enter button.
