OTX is acting weird today - I have tried several times for a survey and almost everytime I get you don't qualify for the survey - but I have not even answered one question. :rotfl: Is anyone else having trouble with OTX?

i had a lot of problems with otx this morning - not qualifying for any surveys and when i would try again it would say that i had exceeded my limit for the day. i finally had to walk away from my computer for a while and then i tried again and i actually got thru one complete survey and it credited at 2 this afternoon (had been trying since very early this morning). just take a deep breath, eat some chocolate (works for me) and try again. i will keep my fingers crossed for you that you have better luck with otx and that you will get a survey today. have a wonderful monday.:sunshine:

I did finally get an OTX today - but one thing, I keep getting asked about having a cell phone, and I say yes, and every time, am booted out. Must have taken this survey before, but the question is still there?!

This happens to me all the time, it is so frustrating. Sometimes the page doesnt load or stops loading right in the middle of a survey, and then since there is nothing I can do, if I refresh, or close the page and try again, I get that Exceeded the Limit for the day message... but yea how is that possible when I haven't completed one? That gets very frustrating and as a result I end up not taking OTX surveys usually. Its like impossible!

i did my last otx survey at 5:30 pm yesterday, it credited at 6 so it has been 24 hours since then and otx is telling me that i have exceeded my limit for the day.:confused: each day i try to take an otx survey it keeps getting later and later. yesterday it took me 4 hours to get one and i really don't think i want to try for another 4 hours tonight to take one (by then it will be 10 and i would be too sleepy to concentrate). is it 24 hours from the time you take it or 24 hours from the time it credits? either way it has been over 24 hours for both. why can't otx cooperate and let me take another survey so i can get my 3 for today.:computer:

I finally got one, pretending to shop at a convenience store for a drink and now there's an error on the page and won't let me go any further!!

I've been on a dry spell for a long time and was very happy to get an easy one! Wonderful!:computer:

When you get the options even if you have already had those options do you still answer the questions until it says you do not qualify. I find that if I just close it out, it blocks me out of the surveys for the day. Don't know if you understand what I mean, I am probably not explaining it right.

marcymajor
07-25-2008, 05:23 AM
yes i answer all the questions even when i don't qualify and i do understand what you are saying. it just tends to get a little frustrating when you know you have waited the right amount of time and otx still won't let you take a survey. i did get one today though, completed it and it already has credited. thanks for your understanding and have a wonderful friday.:sunshine:

I got a survey this morning which stalled and wouldn't refresh, and then an OTX page comes up saying I have exceeded my maximum for the day. HA - I didn't even get to finish the survey, so I have NOT exceeded my maximum. But OTX does not seem to have anything in place to detect when their surveys don't let you finish, so that you could try for another one. That is annoying, to get shut out of surveys after one had a problem!:computer:

07-25-2008, 09:38 AM
i totally feel your pain. i tried for 3 hours yesterday to take an otx survey and all it kept telling me was that i had exceeded my limit for the day and i hadn't even taken one in over 24 hours. i finally had to give up. why not just walk away from your computer for a little while, grab a cup of coffee or tea and try again in an hour or so - that seems to work sometimes. have a great friday and i hope you can get an otx survey.:sunshine:

what is up with OTX it ask one question that says you are not qualied would you like to qualify for another one than the screen goes blank and says you did not qualify for this survey and does that about 4 times till it says your not qualified try tomorrow?

Well, I just tried for OTX, and I was well into a survey about cable and internet. Said on the first question on a page to choose a certain answer for quality control purposes, and I DID, then I answered the other questions. And then it said I gave a wrong answer and to pay attention! GRR! They must not have coded the choices right, so it thought the one I chose wasn't the one they said to choose.

Has this thread always been in the Member Q&A section? I thought it was in Technical Issues and had to go searching for it!

Anyone get 100% credit (or even close) for OTX surveys? I am usually pretty good but lately I don't know. What's your trick? Do you clear cookies, sign back in and immediately take the survey?

sorry about my rantings b4 about otx. i just tried to get another one and was able to, completed it, got the thank you for taking our survey and it already has credited. i guess i just need to be more patient and not take things so seriously when it comes to surveys. everyone on sr and the forum have a wonderful weekend.:sunshine:

Is anyone else having trouble completing the OTX surveys?

When I first joined and up until about 2 weeks ago, I was able to do one every day. Now when I try, I never seem to qualify for them and I try multiple times per day. I clear my cookies daily.

It's been hit or miss with me lately after almost daily surveys. I've been trying periodically throughout the day and still nada. Oh well.

It happens Chad. I have been in a spurt where I haven't qualified for many surveys period. I am just taking off until the 1st and will start up again. I find that if you are really good about taking surveys each day you can go through all of the available ones and run into this problem every now and then. Just keep trying.

Three days in a row when I don't qualify for the 1st otx it then tells me I have reached the maximum. I normally can get them every day... I always have had to try multiple times, but the past few days it won't let me try again, if I don't get it the first time it thinks I have already taken one and won't let me try again for 24 hours.... very weird. Oh well at least I am getting my daily survey every day and my sm most days

i have been trying since 5:30 this morning to get an otx survey and i can't seem to qualify for anything. i even took a break for about an hour and a half (went grocery shopping) and i still can't get one. what's up with that? it seems to be getting harder and harder to qualify for an otx survey. it makes you kinda wonder what they are looking for (55 year old mother of 2 who does not travel for business or drink enough).:rotfl:

07-28-2008, 09:19 AM
I keep getting the same question would you like to take the survey in english or spanish, I pick english and it says I do not qualify for two days. Usually I can get an otx at least everyother day but I didn't get one at all this weekend.

lanny76
07-28-2008, 03:29 PM
I have had good luck with OTX this month, better than usual - so maybe people who are having trouble this month will have better luck next month, or after a little break. Sometimes it is harder to get OTX after a while if you have been getting lots.
Anyway, today I had one that asked my opinion on a website template and then 4 pages where it asked what product I would choose to buy next time I went to the store - 4 different products with several brands, and just pick the one I'd want to buy. Classification questions, and a thank you page. 2 minutes!!

what seems to be the problem with otx today? i last took their survey at 2 yesterday afternoon, it credited at 3 and it is now almost 4:30 and it is telling me that i have exceeded my limit. how it that possible as it has been well over 24 hours since i completed their last one?:confused: oh well, i guess i can just keep trying a little while longer and if i get one i get one, if not there is always tomorrow. i did get a ds and sm today so 2 out of 3 aint bad. everyone on sr and the forum try and have a wonderful rest of the day.:sunshine:

I'm having issues with OTX today. First it took several tries before I got a survey and the survey i did get was about a cartoon and burger king. At no point did it ask if i had kids or to put them in front of the computer. So I answered the survey like the adult I am. Half way through the survey (or what i assume to be halfway through the survey) i get the experiencing difficulties webpage. Okay, not a big deal. Close it and try again. A few hours later, only moments ago though, I get the exact same survey. Get through most of the survey and ...... get the same webpage saying that they are experienceing difficulties. :mad: I'm going to wait awhile to try again today.

This same survey came to me, too, and the same thing happened. But I haven't been able to get a survey; I try every few hours and end up getting the same message that I don't qualify for any surveys today. Oh well....

I also got the cartoon survey and an "error" in the middle. I thought I had missed instructions to get my kid to the computer when it asked me whether I would ask my parents to take me to Burger King. I can't imagine what my parents would say if I asked them to take be to BK!:rotfl:

I got the same message last night and it was about 36-48 hours since I had done one last. I tried again a few hours later and got one with no problem.

OTX has been very strange the last couple of weeks. I've been having all kinds of trouble trying to get a survey from them.

i still can't get an otx survey and i have been trying for nearly 5 hours now. i couldn't get one at all on friday but had no problem on saturday or sunday. otx is very moody when it comes to their 24 hour rule lately even after it has been over 24 hours. is there anyone we can contact to find out what the problem is with otx or are we all just out of luck? any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i becoming just a wee bit frustrated by all of this.:(:computer:

Do OTX surveys still need us to put the year we will turn this year? Or did they fix that problem?

And if you end up on an OTX survey while doing a Daily Survey, do you still need to do that?

And if you end up on an OTX survey while doing a Daily Survey, do you still need to do that?

I think I saw a post about that somewhere else today - the person said that if there were slim pickings for the DS, she did do the OTX thru GF, otherwise not. I know that I usually don't do them thru GF if one happens to come up - but usually I'm doing my DS before my 24 hrs are up with OTX, so I can't get the OTX anyway! HTH!
Also, I just keep putting in my age as if I were already the age I will be in Nov - not taking any chances because I am not sure they did ever fix that age/year issue or not.

If it takes it don't worry about it. At the beginning of the year at the end of alot of the OTX survey's it asked for your age if you typed in your age (and you hadn't had a bday) it basically called you a liar and kicked you out without credit. So we learned to put in what we WOULD be for 08 if we hadn't had a bday and it woudl work. Honestly I haven't seen any like that in a while. It'll ask for my birth year but haven't had to actually TYPE an age in a long time. Maybe an age group like 30-39 et KWIM?

I've had just a few where it asked for my specific age, and I just put in 32, which is what I will be, instead of 31, which is what I am. I was just not taking the chance it wasn't fixed. But maybe, if it hasn't been kicking juliokirkland out, it is fixed?!

Did you happen to get a greenfiled ds rerouted to otx? When that happens to me I close it out (don't want credit for a ds for an otx survey when I can get that separately), but I have to wait a few hours & clear cookies to try OTX or it will give me the sorry come back message.

I've been trying for almost 3 hours to get an Otx survey and i've walked away from the computer multiple times. Finally thought I got into one only too be kicked out after 5 minutes of doing the survey . Took a 10 minute break and attempted again, only to get the same survey. I got further into it this time, about 10 miniutes, and got kicked out again. Just wanted to find out if anyone was able successfully complete a survey about hot cocoa. I'm going to take an hour break and tray again later.

Don't think you are missing anything.......surveys are a luck of the draw type of thing. Sometimes there are an abundance and other times none. I wouldn't get so wrapped up in them. I mean, I do love getting them to credit and all, but I have learned over the years that they are not a guarentee and it is out of the SR families hand as to how many are available or if they will credit.

I would just go about the day and attempt the surveys, hope some are available, and then if you get credit that is a bonus in your SR account.

Good Luck........

I got this message and am confused. I have not completed one fo these surveys in over a week, as I did not get credit for the last one completed so I took a break and now when I entered my information I get this message:





Come back soon

We're sorry, but you seem to have reached the maximum number of surveys in our system for the time period. If you have joined several survey programs, you may have taken one of our surveys on another survey program.

We have many survey opportunities most of the time, so don't hesitate to try again tomorrow for your next chance to give your opinion.

Note that we are temporarily unable to send you back to your survey program. Please accept our apologies.


I have not completed ANY survey (done any offers in days so I do not know what I need to do about this)

thank you

I keep having that happen with OTX here lately too....and I get that message when I haven't done one in days. I know it is some sort of error on their part, but I can't figure out what causes it.

08-12-2008, 12:12 PM
Yes, and then I tried clearing them again even and it still didn't work. It seems fine for me today, but I have had this happen a couple times in the past few weeks. Sometimes on my first try, sometimes after I have attempted to qualify a couple times.

for some reason otx seems to be on their own internal clock and 24 hours to us might not be 24 hours to them (you never know) so all i can say is to keep on trying and keep on doing what you are doing and eventually you should get one. i do feel your pain as i have experienced this problem a lot lately so just hang in there.:sunshine:

I used to never have problems getting an OTX survey. However, that has changed. For the past 3-4 weeks I can hardly ever qualify for an OTX survey and I try multiples times per day. I also get the same messages as the previous poster stated. I just don't understand what their looking for anymore, but apparently it isn't me.

Chad - i totally understand your frustration and i do feel your pain. i went thru a cycle where i could not get one for days and days so i stopped for a while and then tried again. it is becoming harder and harder to get one but all i can say is to take a deep breath, remember to clear out your cookies every time and just keep pluggin away. will keep my fingers crossed for you that you can get one soon. keep smiling anyway.:sunshine:

I'm doing this :D at the same time I'm doing this :computer:.

I think I just won't try an OTX for a long while and then come back to them and try again. Maybe they just got tired of paying me. Who knows. Oh well, at least I can still get my daily surveys for the bonus payout.

Thanks for the encouragement Marcy!

GF survey, this one my sons worked on for almost 17 minutes. It was about electronic items and their usage with a universal plugin. It was nearing the end and then it suddenly went to


Thank You for your Time!It does appear that you did not qualify for this survey based upon your answers during this study. Don't worry, this is completely normal. Our clients seek to receive a specific number of responses from each group which they have chosen to hear from.

Although you did not receive credit for this survey, please click on the button below to take another survey for the chance of winning our $50,000 sweepstakes and to obtain your Sunshine Rewards credit!

I timed him as his church bus was coming soon....and after getting all his information and his opinions...it didn't count?.

I think after 17 minutes he definately should have gotten credit (I got him out of the tub to do it...lol) but lately I feel as if at times we are being diddled, they take our surveys and get alot from us to only go nope,....not today...LOL. My BP gets high everytime I get diddled by the surveys...at this rate I cannot go back to my doctor until I get several in a row that counts..>LOL

Over on the Daily Survey thread, we've been talking about that survey. One person has gotten the "congratulations" page on SR so far, just one. I know I was working on it for an hour, b/c I was going slow. The first to report it had been on the survey 40 minutes.

They say, and I *have to* believe it, that if we don't get credit that means Sunshine doesn't get credit, and that means Greenfield didn't get credit, b/c the info was NOT reported to the people conducting the survey. So even though we have wasted our time, they didn't get anything for it either.

I think your post is a good reminder that if someone runs into a nasty survey, maybe it should be posted on all of the survey threads, in case people don't read all of them. (I once only posted on the SM survey thread, but then it happened to people on the DS thread and I felt bad.)

I agree but that only works if people are reading the threads! Thankfully I know better and make sure I check the survey threads everyday to be prepared when I take one.

That is a good point but let's also try to remember to post some positive things too like when we get super easy surveys so that people will know to look out for them as well. Sometimes it's easier to remember which things are good things versus the many bad things because everything is blending together.

I am getting the OTX error too so I am assuming it is a server issue with the company running the OTX surveys.

Not sure if this belongs here, but I did an OTX survey yesterday afternoon and was also able to do an OTX-through greefield daily survey last night too. :confused: I know you are not allowed to do an OTX survey w/in a 24 hour period and this was only a 6 hour window. I did the survey waiting to be kicked out eventually but I even got the "sr congratulations on the completing this survey" page. Not so sure now if it'll credit.

Still an error message for me too. Funny thing is, I was offered an OTX 2x on the DS, and it went to a page that wanted my age, etc. I wonder if I would have gotten this same error message if I had tried doing one then. Probably!

It has been my experience if you get booted out of an OTX then you are done for the day. The only way to get another chance is to keep clicking on "try another survey". If you close the browser then that's it. I don't think their system recognizes the difference.

You may have to wait for tomorrow. Sorry. This has been a tough month for OTX for me. I have hardly qualified at all so I'm feelin' your pain.

Not sure if you tried, but I get that white page sometimes, but I don't exit out, I click refresh, then it loads, usually to the page that has the button to try another survey.

I think whenever you x out of the otx site w/out finishing it reads as you did one / successfully completed one for the day, so I try to avoid ever exiting out until they boot me or give me a thank you.

How obnoxious. I finally qualified and got a survey about entertainment, got pretty far in to it, then got the quality control question saying to click the button to the far left. I clicked the left most button and got the "Bad Girl - you're giving bad answers" screen. Now it's giving me the already completed a survey message so I can't try again.

This happened to me tonight, too. I have yet to get through a whole OTX survey. Either I don't qualify from the start or I get pretty far into it and then it doesn't like my answer and boots me out. :computer:

I *think* I figured out the Entertainment survey quality control error.

The first one said one direction but when the 2nd quality control question came up it said FAR ___ and indicated the position that was closest to you. If you do the exact oppposite you get through it. The FAR is what made me think about doing it different then what it said. (Well that and everyone posting about getting a hand slap!)

Looks like they typed the wrong direction.

took a survey 3 days ago, it starts by saying you have qualified for a 20 mins survey about food and non alcoholic food products. asks alot of questions about coffee places. the sxurvey takes much longer than 20 mins. a few days ago, it said that i had reached an unexpected error at the very end when i am at 100% of the survey. i didn't get credit for it then, and got the same survey again today. well, silly, optomistic me. same survey, same hour, and again...same error message. this is the web address of the last page that i typed in my income at 99% completion
https://ask17.synovate.net/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll
this is the error message
Unexpected error

We?re sorry, but an unexpected error has occurred. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion.

now i can't sit here and take the time to try for another otx today. i hoe nobody else wastes their time going through this same survey.

I just completed this survey and did what you said, and it worked :thanks: It's the site's mistake... the first time they tell you to go to the far __ and it works. The second time, though, they tell you to go to the far one way, but for some reason it only works if you go to the far other way. Thanks again for the help!

Marcy, I understand your frustration. Truly, I do. If you've already cleared your cookies and waited a while, tried again, and it's still not working, my advice would be to give it a rest.

Are you getting any of them through Greenfield and closing out instead of attempting/booted out by them?

I've been getting quite a few OTX through Greenfield lately, but I try for them, but don't close out. I think it is the same principle as when going directly through OTX, if you close out yourself it will think you did one, but if you try and fail you can try again.

My other thought might be to check 24 hours after you received credit, but it seems you probably got that at 12 for an 11:30 survey, so not sure.

Good luck..."just keep swimming, just keep swimming" :rotfl:

disney_girl
09-24-2008, 01:51 PM
One thing you need to watch for is that Greenfield often has OTX surveys through them. If you take an OTX through Greenfield in either the Daily Survey or SM Survey, that will fill your OTX quota for the day and you will not be allowed to take an OTX. Personally, I choose to not do the OTX through Greenfield because I go through OTX. I simply close out the screen if it is an OTX survey and try for another one through Greenfield. But... even doing this, I have to wait at least an hour before trying an OTX or it will say that I have reached my limit. If you choose to do an OTX through Greenfield, you just have to accept the fact that you need to wait 24 hours before trying another OTX.

A few months ago, I had trouble with OTX giving me the exceeded limit message no matter how much time had passed. The only way I was able to get past that was to run CCleaner and clear everything out. Since then, I haven't had any issues with OTX! OTX has been very good for me and for most days, I am able to get credit for all 3 available surveys (DS,SM and OTX).

Not to beat a dead horse... but I was clearing cookies normally and it still wasn't enough for my computer I guess. I had to actually install CCleaner and run that to clear up my problems. Maybe you should just take a break from OTX for a day and then come back to it and hopefully it will be smooth sailing!

I thought I've read you talking about that...closing out from OTX surveys through GF...so it might apply.

I usually get 2 or 3 a week, and I'm grateful for that. I keep my expectations low. That way I don't get frustrated with them. I'm sure they only have so many surveys to go around to match each person's demographics. Sometimes, you just have to wait until more are loaded. Don't let OTX or surveys get you down.

How do you clear your cookies? I sometimes have things stick around by just using the Delete Cookies through IE Tools, Internet Options.

What I do is similar...

After you do the normal Clear Cookies do this:

Tools, Internet Options, Settings (this is next to the Delete button that took you to clear cookies if that makes sense).

Then the window that opens you click View Files. This will open a file folder.

Check to see if anything is left. If so, just select the OTX file (should say otx, or mythoughtcounts in the name or something), and delete manually.

Also, when you clear make sure all other browsers are closed, and then close the browser you did the clearing from to start a new session.

HTH.

I use AdAware 2008 now instead of going through IE though. If you have it go to Tools & Plug-Ins, TrackSweep. This will clear everything though, so make sure you know all your passwords, etc.

09-27-2008, 06:58 PM
cglaura - what you have described is exactly what i do. i also have ad-aware 2008 and i run that every couple of days plus my husband installed a program called avast that checks for viruses and that runs every night. guess i will have to resign myself to the fact that i just can't get an otx survey every day and take what i can get. if i can get between 3 and 4 a week i should be happy with that and not get so frustrated and upset - after all, it's only a survey but that 75 cents does add up every day.:thanks: for everything and it did help a lot. have a wonderful rest of the weekend.:sunshine:

Just a note on the ad aware...the tracksweep is a separate thing you do, it is not included w/ the normal antispyware run/check.

on the left side menu, there is a button towards the bottom, tools & plug-ins. click that and a menu drops open. click Track Sweep. this will open a panel where you can check off what you want cleared and on what browsers. you check off what you want, then click the clear button. Voila, cleared!

I can get your frustration, though for different reasons...if I get asked one more time about cell phones or video games I quite literally scream NO at my monitor :rotfl: b/c 99.99% of the time I get booted from them. So, maybe there is some peace for you in that you are certainly not alone! Have a great weekend also!

I've been a member for about a month and haven't had any problems until now. I did the OTX survey on the 30th and the 1st, both days completed with no problems but haven't received the credit. Has anyone else had this happen lately? It's kind of frustrating :computer:to give up an hour and get nothing!:thanks:in advance for any thoughts.

i totally feel your pain and frustration about otx. do you clear cookies after the survey has credited or before? the reason i ask is that if you clear your cookies before it credits i don't think you will get credit as otx relies on cookies for crediting purposes. does this make sense? HTH.:sunshine:

I feel your pain GeoEngr. I did an OTX on cellphones last night, then went to bed, expecting to find the credit in my account when I got up this a.m. It didn't happen.

I was pretty crushed -- had done that OTX, a super member survey and one of the health freebies, and not a one credited.

Marcymajor, I didn't clear cookies either before or after. I never have. Is this something I should be doing on a regular basis?

Clear cookies before doing OTX. I clear cookies first thing every morning before I start anything on SR. HTH

Thanks for the headsup. It sounds like a pain since that means having to log on and reenter everything each day. How does this affect the credit for Daily survey's? Do I wait to clear cookies until I get credit for the DS?

DS are credited by ip address...it kinda is a pain to delete everything but it's necessary if you want the credits! :)

Jamie - i'm so sorry that happened to you and i truly feel your pain and frustration. are you able to take another one? just take a deep breath and try again and hopefully otx will let you take another and you will get thru it and get your 75 cents for the day. keep smiling and have a wonderful weekend.:sunshine:

guess it's not my day for an otx survey today. been trying since noon and i keep getting the page that says i have reached my limit for today. oh well, what can you do except keep trying. it has been over 24 hours since my last one was done and credited but i think their 24 hour clock is slow or something. as they say, que sera sera - whatever will be will be. if i am destined to get one i will, if not there is always tomorrow and i will not stress out about this. have a wonderful saturday everybody.:sunshine:

You are so lucky Marcy, seriously. I'm lucky if I get one OTX a week, if that. Hope you get another one soon. Good luck!:sunshine:

i did finally get one at 5:30 tonight so i think i might pass on one tomorrow since it took me 5 1/2 hours today just to get that one. i usually get between 3 and 4 otx surveys a week - it depends upon the week and if there are any surveys available. i used to stress about not getting these but i decided that if i get one i get one, if not i can always try again tomorrow. after all, it is free money so i'll take whatever i can get. just keep trying and i know that you will get more than 1 a week. keep on smiling and have a wonderful saturday evening and a great sunday.:sunshine:

Just spent 55 minutes on an anti-aging and skin care product I use, very different format too, used these interactive mouse over type buttons instead of radio buttons. Joy, to the end, finally! And I get...

Unexpected error

The same thing happened to me! I am not happy. It was a long survey and I got the error after submitting the final classification info.

It was by a company called fastrac. Not one I had seen before. Stay away from this survey!!!

Just got this survey and thought I'd try just for the heck of it. It's NOT fixed yet. What a ripoff. I kept thinking about your post the whole LOOOOONG time I was taking this survey. That one was rather aggravating even if it had credited but not crediting makes it even worse. :headache:

otx is doing it to me again. for the last 3 mornings i have been able to get an otx survey early (around 4:30 - yes i don't sleep) but today it has been telling me since 4:30 that i have reached my limit for the day. how is that possible as it has been well over 24 hours since i did my last one and it credited at 5?:confused: guess their 24 hour clock is screwed up again or they don't know how to tell time. will keep trying and if i get one i get one, if not there is always tomorrow. hope everyone has a great saturday and maybe someone out there can say a little prayer for me so that i can get my otx for the day.:sunshine:

it has now been almost 4 hours since my last post and i still can't get an otx survey this morning. getting a wee bit frustrated about this as i don't understand what the problem is.:confused: i've done pretty well so far this month with otx surveys so i really shouldn't complain but when you know that it has been well over 24 hours and it won't let you take one you tend to get a little "pissed off." that ends my rant for the morning. i hope you all can get your otx survey today and keep your fingers crossed for me that i can get one too. happy saturday to everybody.:sunshine:

i'm not usually a quitter and i am a very persistent person but after trying to get an otx survey for 8 1/2 hours today i am now officially giving up for the day. guess i can relax now and possibly do some shopping and spend some money. it would have been nice to get all 3 surveys today but it wasn't in the cards for me today. oh well, there's always tomorrow to try again. have a great weekend everybody and i hope your luck is better than mine.:sunshine:

I'm thinking OTX might be having technical difficulties tonight. DH tried twice to enter, (yes, we were logged into SR, I went back and checked between attempts) put his demographic info in, and got:

Invalid link

I completely exited out of SR and signed in again. He tried again and got:

lol no Tricia isn't holding back your credit. Did you clear cookies before starting the survey? Did you clear too soon after you finished it? Thanks for being understanding about the editing.

I wonder what happened.....?

Just tried to do my 1st OTX in a few days. Entered my demographics and got a "page cannot load" so I refreshed and it still didn't load. Closed out window and started over again. Then I got the "you've already done a survey - come back in 24 hours." I'm really frustrated the last few days between last Friday's DS that was the 1st one ever that didn't credit for me when getting the confirmation page (vs. some who were lucky enough to get multiple credits), the ice cream offer that wouldn't let me confirm my email, and this. I'm trying so hard to stay on Big Board and just know that because of these techie faults, I'm going to slide off. :cry:
