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

sorry no recourse with OTX. Tricia can't even get in touch with them about anything since its run through a 3rd party. Just make sure that you clear your cookies each day before doing one as they are tracked by cookies. Also make sure you got a thanks for finishing the survey not a thanks for attempting to take a survey message.

That's what I thought, thanks for answering so quickly.

It was definitely the thanks for completing the survey (I so rarely get those, so I was very suprised to be able to complete OTX surveys two days in a row!)

Thanks

After 4 days of not qualifying for OTX/My Thoughts Survey I finally got one this morning---I was so happy---However now almost 4 hours later it still has not credited. I normally don't have a problem with OTX crediting---I cleaned cookies before I took it--and haven't installed anything new lately--checked all my settings-- everything is the same. I did the one that was dated for 02/15--- after I moved it to pending a few minutes later the 02/16 posted. Could that have been the problem?? Oh well I will try again tomorrow............

I completed an OTX on healthcare videos with a fairly long video at the center of it yesterday and it didn't credit. Today they don't want me. Very frustrating. I did manage to get one to credit for the contest, though.

Watch out for a survey on beer.

DH came home with a horrid headache today, and I bugged him by reading a survey to him all about beer. It was very odd that he qualified for it, but his having had a glass of champagne and ONE beer in the last year (b/c it happened last weekend) got him in. He answered all the questions thoughtfully and it was time-consuming. At the very very end, at 90% (the %s were jumping by 10s at this point) with the qualifications....we got an error.

I can't remember the error now, but it wasn't a "you went too fast" or "you lied about your age", but just an error message.

Went back and was told that he already took the survey.

I waited two hours, it never credited. He did the whole survey.

So after that I just bugged him again (I'm a retired chiro so I adjusted him and his borderline-migraine went away, but he still doesn't feel 100% well) after clearing cookies and such. Went through the surveys making sure to not retake anything, and since he had taken the entire beer survey, we answered that he has NOT had any beer/wine in the last 4 weeks so that he wouldn't get the beer survey again (feeling that it would be cheating to take it again, since he wasn't booted out, he just got an error), and sadly, there are no other surveys.

I wish there were a way to contact them, to let them know of the error message with the beer survey!!!

the samething happened to my husband on the beer survey

Ooh, I don't know what's worse. Having a true error that only happens to one person while everyone else gets credit, or there being some sort of problem so that more than one person experiences the same thing.

Odd. Mike had the beer survey last thurs or friday and finished it without an issue.

Just had an odd sort of one. In the beginning it was asking about my internet usage, then it was asking about what I spent my money on each month, how much debt I had, what I splurged on, etc. Then it asked me personal things about what I considered most important, if I had my soul mate, how I rated myself as spiritual/religious, etc. Then it asked what I thot about 4-5 magazines. Finally, a few demographics and I was done. Very easy and not long - but sure an odd collection of questions, I thot.

I surprisingly qualified for one this monring on Video Game systems and it took FOREVER. About 20 minutes into it, it kept repeating the same question, asked me the final 'classification' questions and froze. Then I got the message to report an error. LOL
