How do you reset a poll in an existing forum topic? I have tried a few times to erase everything and put in new info and it doesn't work ):

the way I do it is when you edit the first page for the poll, add a new option (change the number of options).
Then submit that, test it by voting.... and then go back and edit it again to remove the new option ("resetting" it to its original state, less the old votes).
Have you already tried that?

The key that I found was to make sure that the number of options available had changed. You could do it by deleting one of the old options and then editing again to restore it, too.

If that happens again, please try reporting the thread. I believe having a moderator delete the poll have solved the issue with polls glitching in the past.
