It wouldn't be against the rules of GF to use one of the other browsers to do the survey. I haven't ever tried then in doing surveys so I don't know for sure they will credit but it wouldn't hurt to try it out and see what happens. In the beginning I was using AOL to do everything and I got credit for most things. The issue didn't come until later and really only occurred with the offers and shopping so I would think that you would be ok with surveys. Try it out and let us know LOL
Not sure how surveys will work on other browsers outside of IE. Based on the ones you are suggesting I'm thinking you are on a Mac. I think I've read people having success using firefox on a mac for surveys.Quote:

I'll check with her when she gets home from school and let you know how it works out. Thanks for all the help!
on the pc if you have ccleaner downloaded you can go into the options and select certain cookies to keep each time you clear cookies. I chose this option for certain sites like you mentioned (banking, forums, SR) so that I didn't have to sign in all the freaking time.Quote:

OTX finally offered me a survey I hadn't taken, so I got credit for the 1st time in about a week!
I was able to get an OTX survey yesterday where I had to look at several different web pages and then aswer questions about the articles and ads I'd seen. As I was finishing, I just automatically typed my age in and of course got the dreaded message. I backed out, cleared cookies and started all over and I got a similar survey, only with completely different web pages with different articles and ads. I finished it, added a year to my age and got credit after the hour. Since I hadn't gotten credit for the first one, I felt OK about completing the second one. But I am very unclear as to whether those surveys would be considered the same one. Or would they be different because they were completely different web pages - and not only were the ads different, they were for a completely different product category?
I take those to be different survey's. The last 3 days I've had the same TYPE of survey but with different ads. One was cars, one was household products and one was beverages. So to me I'm answering each one differently based on the products they've shown me.Quote:

It's like I'm in this loop with just this one survey? There should be a way for them to filter out the surveys that you have already taken, it is so frustrating.Quote:

Until yesterday, I got something else - probably today I will get those questions again.Quote:
