I like it quite much.

Side note: How long till someone moves this to meta, do you figure?

I find it useful, but I also find that it is becoming overused.

Like right now.

Hey Dalenthas, why isnt "Lemon Custard" one of the choices? thats the first thing you should do when making a poll on these boards!

if voters are relatively honest, it's an easy way to get quick feedback.

I voted 'what feature' since there doesn't seem to be an 'indifferent' choice... the polls don't bug me, per se, but they're not my favorite new addition either. I can take them or leave them... there's always the possiblity of just typing what your answer is, and with the polls people often do to explain their vote, so... I'll admit, it's nice to have a nifty tally though.

I didn't vote, since I also didn't see an "indifferent". It's a good feature, but it's really overused right now.

There should be an option that lets you edit a poll, as long as no one has replied to it yet. I have a nasty typo in the poll I posted about my storyhour.

Yes, but right now people are overusing polls. The ability to create polls is still new, and as such people are creating them for things that they are not needed for. I'll be happy when everything settles down and all the new features are used only when appropriate.
Polls are good when used correctly, but annoying when overused.
