Anyone else having trouble getting any options for a DS today. Its been terrible this month, I thought they add new surveys the 1st of month. That is not the case this month, at lest for me. Any help is appreciated.

Usually it's within the first week of the month, must be slowly adding them, bc I had 8-9 options this morning, yesterday I had 4-5 and earlier in the week I hardly had any.

I've had a hard time this month -- each day my options have been slim pickings, going down further and further each day to the point that I'm getting nothing today. I guess I used up my last option yesterday and since they don't work on weekends, nothing new will probably come for me until Monday. Fingers crossed for then. I don't usually have any problem getting one per day -- I must have good demos. for some reason. But this weekend... sigh.

But I was wondering if there's a larger issue that might make it harder for us all in the coming months to get surveys: Does the tanking economy affect survey availability (for all companies, not just Greenfield or OTX, but Pinecone, MySurvey, Opinion Outpost, etc.)? I mean, I would think less companies would want to be spending money on research when they need the money to meet payroll. Plus, with people not shopping as much, maybe new products get put on hold so there's no need to survey whether they'd be wanted or not. I hope it's not the case, but it does make me wonder whether there will be as many surveys in the future as we're used to, if the trouble a lot of us are having this month is a sign of things to come. I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be harder in the future.

I got a daily about a bank and an otx about tv channels. Yeah. I think that is one of the first times I have gotten both in one day. I am trying really hard because I oly need $30 to make super member for the first time

i think i am beginning to agree with goofy08 and her ideas about surveys. i got one yesterday with no problems at all but today i have no options and there are no new surveys available and gf probably won't add any today since it is sunday. the problem is if i can't do a ds i can't do a sm survey either and that is kind of frustrating to me. anyone have any words of wisdom for me on this 8th day of june. help.

i didn't get to do one yesterday b/c of dd's dance recital, but i got one this morning about a new movie.

I had issues all day long yesterday taking DS, on Friday I completed one at 1056Am, all day I tried to get one, since they no longer give the exceeds page, you just do not know for sure, you get no surveys message. Last night I finally got in after 9pm, every so often I notice this happens, I did have several options, I got thru. I am thinking there was a problem for some of us, I am stuck at night now. I know for me it is 24 hrs not any sooner, so I do not believe you can do any time of the day. Anyone else think I am right.

i am usually able to get a ds early in the morning but not today. i have been trying since this morning, got into 2 but got booted out of both of them and since then i have had no options at all and no new surveys. i can't even get an otx today either (it says i have exceeded my limit even though my last otx was at 11 yesterday morning). so far today, i have earned -0-. i am totally and utterly confused and frustrated with surveys.

I agree with DS its been a real pain, with OTX I do this, I use cc.cleaner.com, after otx, example when there is a error, or it freeze, also I clear the browser of cookies and go back in, in worst case you may have to shut down and start back up. The cleaner is the best option after do access OTX. Hope this helps.

i used ccleaner before and the only problem is that it took away all of my ids and pws on certain sites that i needed them on and it was difficult trying to remember them. i do appreciate your help in this matter and it's nice to know that i am not alone with my frustration with surveys today. i may just bring my computer down and restart it again and see if that helps. again, thanks for listening to my rants and have a great day.

I never have a problem with ids and passwords being removed by the cleaner, now I know its does removed the history, but if you IE or Firefox do you have them remembered with those browsers. Let me know how you are doing.
