Just discovered the "New Poll" button!

So, I have decided to take a poll on who is interested/disinterested in having MM give us information on the Strategies Menu.

What we do next will depend upon the results.

Hi guys:

Have a question about the placement of the poll...

As a newbie, for the first 2 weeks or so, I more or less limited myself to what was showing on my screen. There was so much stuff to digest that I just did not wander much...

The position of the poll is fast approaching the place where newbies (if they are like me) will not find it.

Now, we can put inane Messages in it to put it up to the top of the list where new arrivals are more likely to find it.

A better way would be to have it positioned at the top among some of the other Messages there.

So how do I go about doing it? Is there someone, I need to contact? If so, who? And how?

You need to bump the thread periodically. It _could_ be made sticky (stuck at the top) by a moderator, but that isn't a very good idea. The number of sticky threads needs to be kept at a minimum.

Actually, I've already e-mailed a moderator for this very purpose.

BTW - if you just want to change the strategy for a particular ship, you can click on the "strategy" button (looks like a chess pawn). Avoids having to create a one-ship fleet and worry about ship orders vs. fleet orders...

Sigh....

I must be doing something wrong.

Captured another ship, selected it, but the strategy button does not light up.

We're talking about the pawn in the upper right hand corner, right?

The only time the "pawn" lights up for me is when I select a fleet. It's never lit up when I've selected a single ship.
