Rachel -- There is no repost function, but the same objective can be met by slightly editing the poll question. Find the poll in your message archive and select "Edit Poll" from the More menu at bottom right. Preface the poll question with "REPOST:" (or something like that) and click the blue Update Poll button at the bottom of the page. The poll will be sent again with an Edited tag. Not perfect, but it should still achieve what you want. Hope this helps, Bruce Check out the groups.io Help Center?and?groups.io Owners Manual
John Russell All Messages By This Member #34532 Hi All, I just edited a Poll in my group and nothing happened. I changed the subject line and added some text in the body of the Poll. I tried twice and then gave up. This way of producing a reminder does not work. In the end I re-sent the Poll by replying to it and using the Lasso icon to copy in the Poll message with the all important link. Regads John Russell

ro-esp All Messages By This Member #34540 I'm not sure what you mean. If you want more votes, you can send a reminder and include the URL of the poll. I assume that there is no possibility of editing a poll, as that could make already posted votes useless. If you want to change the question, make a new poll. groetjes/?is, Ronaldo

Existing replies are not deleted, but can be changed when the revised one is sent out. Duane -- The official Groups.io user documentation is in the Groups.io Help Center.

Every time I edit the poll it is sent out again with [Edited Message Follows] at the top. However, the updated poll goes out with the same message-ID as the original.?I am receiving these updates at gmail.com but not at tds.net, so my guess is your email provider is filtering it out as a dupe. If you haven't already, check with others in your group to see if they are receiving them. Obviously, if you can't count on actual delivery of the update this is not a reliable work-around.

John Russell All Messages By This Member #34566 Hi Bruce, I did check with one member of the group and he did not receive anything. I checked the Actviity Log and found no entries. Do you see entries in the Activty Log? Just to clarify. I did not change the question as that would invalidated the votes already received. In that case I would have to close the Poll and start again. I only edited the information which appears before the question, just to add the deadline for voting, which I forgot when I created the Poll. It seemed the ideal way to do this was to edit the orignal message and click on Update. I found a workaround, so now I will just send it to support to see if Mark knows why this did not work. Regards John

I don't see why that would be a problem, if you were reasonably careful. Try adding an extra space somewhere. I only edited the information which appears before the question, just to add the deadline for voting, which I forgot when I created the Poll. It seemed the ideal way to do this was to edit the orignal message and click on Update. There are only three fields -- the Subject line, the Poll question, and the Answers. Changing the subject line will not cause a new message to go out. More generally, changing the subject does not do what you think it does. A subject line is a function of a topic, not a message. If you really want to do that you have to click on the Topic Properties button.? I found a workaround, so now I will just send it to support to see if Mark knows why this did not work. If you want to issue a bug report, ask why the subject line is an editable field on the "Edit Poll" screen when changing it doesn't really do anything.
