Is it possible to remove polls from threads already? I don't seem to be able to add additional polls to a thread either.
I know you can let a post expire, but that will keep it around, you just won't be able to vote on it anymore, right?

For me if I go to the poll Edit button there's an option at the bottom to delete and then I can create a new poll.

I can confirm that I can't see a delete option, either. You can put a time-to-close on it, but that just freezes voting.

I tried with the test account and it had the delete option. Maybe try deleting the poll title and choices and save changes?

I can't. I can only add choices and change the options at the bottom, but neither change the question nor remove choices. :(
Maybe there's a permission issue somewhere?

The test account has the same permissions as a regular user (because it is one). I think it's something to do with either votes have already been cast or the poll is closed. Let me experiment with it today and see what I can do.

Oops, forgot about this. I did some more experimenting and I'm still not sure why it won't allow you to delete the poll. Do you want me to delete the one from the Flex PSU thread for you in the meantime?

And if it wasn't clear, if something needs to be changed in your own topic post and you can't for some reason, just drop us a PM and we'll sort it out !
