telekinetic

OK, so I tried to make a thoughtful discussion provoking poll in members section.

First, it timed me out (can't make a poll after 5 minutes!)...wtf?!

So I edited out my whole post down to 'mods plz delete', ([s]since you can't report your own posts[/s] hey looks like you can now, thanks whoever listened!) and the next time, I tried to quickly copy and paste my poll options in.

OK, hit submit, argh, I forgot to put in the question--it just prompted me to hit 'back' and fix it, well when I hit back, it hadn't saved any of my poll options! So now I have to copy and paste them all again, and in my rush, I didn't set the poll options right...it needs to be multiple choice, and I wanted it to be 'votes public' so you could match the answers to the discussion points below.

Short term: Can someone with edit power go fix my poll options and delete my first attempt?

Long term: Why is posting a thread and posting a poll considered two discrete behaviors? Is this a vbulletin thing? I hate it! Can we kill it? It's not the first time I've run afoul the evil timeout.
