I've only been using this system for a few hours, so maybe I've just missed something...

When I create a new forum with "Allow Poll" set to "Yes", no "[CREATE POLL]" link appears in the post form. Is there another admin option related to Poll that has to be set?

That is the only option that governs polls. If you try to edit the said forum, is the Allow Polls option still set to yes. Also, if you re-submit the form and leave the option at yes, does the [create poll] link appear on the post form?

Yes...every forum has Allow Poll set to Yes.

No...the poll link doesn't appear after resubmitting. :/

I'll poke around with it a bit more...

Hm...even if I set "Allow Polls" to "No", when I go to edit the forum, the option says it's set to "Yes".

Looking at the fud_forum table, this is what I find:


mysql> select id, name, allow_polls from fud_forum;
+----+------------------+-------------+
| id | name             | allow_polls |
+----+------------------+-------------+
|  1 | TestForum        | Y           |
|  2 | Test Forum One   |             |
|  3 | test forum two   |             |
|  4 | test forum three |             |
|  5 | test 3 forum 1   |             |
|  6 | Another Forum    |             |
|  7 |                  |             |
|  8 | New Test Forum   | Y           |
+----+------------------+-------------+
8 rows in set (0.00 sec)

It appears that this table isn't being updated properly for some reason, because every forum here has "Allow Poll" set to "Yes" in the edit form.

That indeed was a bug with admforum.php form. It incorrectly retrieved the values for the select.

A fixed version of the file is attached to this message.
