Posts about My Thought Counts/OTX Surveys Pls Read 1st Post!

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

I have a question about clearing cookies. Right now I take these surveys on IE. I really don't want to clear my cookies each time since I use this browser for online banking and other functions. Is it possible to take the surveys in another browser like Safari or Firefox and use that browser strictly for the OTX and SM surveys? With all the inconsistencies in the GF mess, I certainly do not want to be involved in another "fraudgate" with OTX.

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.

Actually my desktop is a PC but we have Mac laptops in the house. My DD is the one who suggested downloading another browser and trying that. I only mentioned Safari and Firefox because those are the ones she uses on her Mac.
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.

Argh! OTX keeps on offering me the same survey I took last week! Gah. Frusterating. And I'm using the same e-mail.

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.

This keeps happening to me too This particular survey is asking if you use shampoo, toothpaste and deodorant daily, I'll check off "no" because I've already take this survey, it then takes me to the page that there are no surveys available, this is fine but when I go try again later, I'm getting these same questions again? 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.

I know about that one! I took it about a week ago, and have been getting the same questions every day; and about TV shows watched, a certain magazine read, etc - I keep getting these same questions over and over and then it will say, no surveys sorry! Until yesterday, I got something else - probably today I will get those questions again.
