From what I get, users are supposed to fill the fields, enter the number of options they want, then hit Submit, fill all the options, and hit Submit again. Kinda weird.

I'd suggest that there's a separate button to make the system show the appropriate fields once the user told how many options he wants.

Next, there's no option to enable or disable multi-voting or allowing people to change their vote. So the "Multi-voting is not allowed. Changing your vote is allowed." statement is weird. This also means that it's merely impossible to create a multi-vote poll.

Last, it'd be cool if the poll's author could add an option he forgot. But then maybe people would abuse it. So I guess the solution to that one problem is: nicely ask a moderator.

The features are technically supported; it's just that appropriate tickboxes are missing. I guess that should be fixed at some point.

Also, after entering the number of options you want, you should, in fact, press Preview. I suppose some remark about having to do that would be useful though...

Ah, the needed code is already here. So the unconfigurable options problem can actually be fixed easily. Good.

Also, that's what I did, I hit Preview because I was unsure. That thing needs to be clearer if you don't want to have people post empty polls.

If you hit submit without filling in the options, it'll reject your poll.

But even if you can't create empty polls, I'm pretty sure lots of new users are unsure about how to configure their poll when they want to create one.

Yeah, I suppose clarification could be used in places.

I'll look into it.

Yes! Now it's much clearer. But the tickboxes are still missing.
