Edit Tips

  • Propose turning on the box that says "Notify me when answered". It'll email you whenever someone answers your poll question.
  • You can either set up your account via your Facebook account, or you can set up your own personal account using the Answerbag system, or a combination of both if you choose to set one up that way.
