Was looking to do a poll in the Cafe forum. Did not see the option. Am I missing something??

From the FAQ (not sure if it has changed since then).
How do I create a poll?
When posting a new topic or editing the first post of a topic, click the “Poll creation” tab below the main posting form; if you cannot see this, you do not have appropriate permissions to create polls. Enter a title and at least two options in the appropriate fields, making sure each option is on a separate line in the textarea. You can also set the number of options users may select during voting under “Options per user”, a time limit in days for the poll (0 for infinite duration) and lastly the option to allow users to amend their votes.
I believe only moderators/admin can. Although I don't believe I have the option so perhaps not watchmen.

There is no poll option for members. Admin staff only (I can't remember if mods can do it).
If you'd like a poll created, PM an Admin, tell him what you want created, the options, and why. We got rid of polls because they were being used way too frivolously, but have no problem with creating them FOR you.
