TOP 20 of the best US radios 1920-35 and 1936-50
#11

I guess it is a question to the admins.

Yes.

You have to start a new thread by using the Post Thread button on the index page of the subforum to which you want to start your thread.

If you want to include Philcos in this voting, I suggest posting the thread in Old Ron's Bar & Grill. Or here - Other Radios (Non-Philco) - will also suffice.

   

Fill out your post as you normally would, but pay attention to the Poll: section at the bottom. Click the checkbox to the left of I want to post a poll. Set the number of radios you wish to vote on to a number between 2 and 10. (Sorry, the software which powers the Phorum limits you to no more than 10 choices.)

Then click the Post Thread button (not shown in this example, but it is below everything).

   

Before you see your new thread, another box appears - Post New Poll.

   

In the Question box, give a name to your poll.

In the Number of Options box, select a number between 2 and 10 (remember, you are limited to 10 choices). Then click the Update Options button.

In Poll Options, type in the name of each radio in each of the boxes.

I suggest you do not click either of the boxes under Options but that is entirely up to you.

Finally, Poll Timeout - This will allow you to set the number of days the poll will be active. If you set it to 0, the poll will never end so I suggest you set it to some number. For a one week poll, input 7. For a two week poll, input 14.

When you are satisfied, click the Post New Poll button.

That's it. Sit back and let folks participate in your poll.
