Bridge polls often are created without the creator coming up with an option (perhaps because that option is viewed as insane by the creator, but..).

I cannot figure out how to edit an original post with a poll. Can this be done? If not, I'd suggest that it might be worthwhile to come up with a way to do this.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

In BBF? Sure. Same way you edit other posts.

No this doesn't work. Maybe it just works for you since you are admin.

I would understand that as a default policy, changing poll options after people have voted could easily be abused (in general on such forums, not specifically on BBF).

Okay, I didn't know you meant *after* someone has voted, or that before/after could be an issue.

I just confirmed that non admin/mods can't edit, before or after anyone has posted.

But a quick look shows no way of changing this, and I don't think its necessary. Maybe your theory was right - it was set up this way to prevent editing of polls, heh.

I don't think you can edit a poll once youve posted it, even if no one has voted.
