Tell HN: Polling Is Broken
I tried multiple times to add a poll. Where it indicates "blank lines between choices", each time I submit, it adds an extra newline between the choices, over and over (each choice is separated by two newlines, then four, etc.). It does not provide any other feedback than that, so I assume it thinks my poll choices have an invalid format.
It did indicate my original title was too long, but after modifying that, it just keeps letting me submit and indicates no other error messages, but the changing text inside the poll choices makes me think HN is attempting to fix that and failing silently.
