Poll answer text error is confounding and frustrating
I am entering poll questions for doctors, who need to follow rigid and exact diagnostic nomenclature. I cannot paraphrase in order to satisfy software limitations. GoToWebinar will not let me set up ...
After more trial and error, I now see that I was interpreting the error message incorrectly. It is poorly written. For clarity, it should say "Answer text may not include a backslash next to a number or the characters <, >, &, #."
The rest of my complaints stand. It's a restriction that is seriously inferior to polling in other conferencing products.
klmonline thanks for your feedback. I recreated your experience and can see how it would be frustrating with your needs. I do see that you have been asking for updates to the polls in the past as well in our Webinar Idea section. I will certainly pass this experience back to the team. Feel free to create a new idea in the community idea forum where others can vote. We do discuss all mentions as a team. I would have moved this request to that section, but in order to keep things orderly we can only have one idea at a time. Thanks again for taking the time to share here in the Community.
