I love making polls but what happened to that feature in this forum? Is it disabled for good? The option is there but the scripting of making a poll question and answers aren't there.

Still this forum fails on incomplete stuff. :(

Remember how they promised us that we would get avatars after two weeks or so?

The technical problem why EA never get to use IPB anytime soon is because they don't even know about it.

I will issue a complaint to the EA Administrators if they can't get this forum fixed. Every time they add something, another feature disappears. Most of the stuff working including avatars, signatures and group forums are all we get for now other than posting. Missing are polls and fixing black text on changing pages.

the changing pages with black text is not really an issue that can be dealt with.

all PHP based forums use CSS markup to style the page. the color of the text is defined in CSS. without the CSS loaded, you will find the text goes black by default. However if memory serves me correctly, CSS is not one of the first things that Mozilla applies, so if your processor is on the slow side of things, you may see the occasional black text. I haven't yet had this issue on chrome, but IE9 and Mozilla both have it, and its all in their page rendering methods

So can the mods ask CIRE whether can they include polls?

The mods can, but in actual fact i think the support side of the forums is rather busy fixing other issues which have been found tbh
