Do you happen to mean a poll?

If so, then when you create a new thread, under the additional options, there is an option to check that says to "Post a poll" and then you can select how many choices you want to create. I've never created a poll, but I assume when you hit submit that it then asks you to list them. I hope someone else will come along with more specifics. <3

(If you meant the other kind of pole, I have no tips. )
