Daily Survey Technical Issues Thread

Some of you have been reporting that you stopped a survey because it wanted you to "download something" but it was not a toolabr of any kind. Rather, it was ActiveX or java or something that your browser needed to be able to view all of the aspects of the survey. This is not the same. The only thing that they should not be asking you to download are toolbars.

Thanks for the clarification. I closed out of the gaming survey because it required a download. I don't think it was Java or Active X, but it was some kind of program to track the survey responses. It wasn't a toolbar, though. I didn't realize that there were some downloads in surveys that were OK to do - I thought like Mollyeilis that there weren't supposed to be any downloads. I'll know better next time, so thanks for letting us know!

Just to add most of the computers already have Active X installed or have used it in the past, it's used for a lot of flash players and stuff of the sort. So if it's asking you to install/download it more then likely it's an updated version. Same with the java apps, most of us running newer computers already have something similar just needs updated.

I'm done with movie survey's.
My dd usually will do survey's for me on the weekend and my son does too and they get usually hit with a movie survey.
I know I just did one on "The Happiest Place on Earth"s new movie coming out.
I was doing a SM tonite and another movie survey came up.
I know I just did one this week, and after a few questions, it asked me if I done a survey within the last 3 months and I said yes.
It is not worth the time to do one and get eliminated in the end because they do keep track.
After I did that tonite, I got a really fast one on my kids "texting" habits.
They should have asked me about my dh emailing habits on his phone. He is going to kill us. He drove the other nite 15 miles and he typed in an e-mail the whole way. I was so darn mad, I almost thru the phone out the window when he was done. He is suppose to hook his phone up to his computer and download his e-mails, but he don't.
Vent over, carry on.

DH just got a short Your Two Cents survey on electronics buying. He got to the end, but got a generic thank you page but was never redirected to SR. There was a password to enter from GF to start. Just wanted to let everyone know in case you get this!

I just did a very long survey on headaches through Your Two Cents - I don't know if it will show up as a DS or not. After about a million questions, I got "Click here to submit", then it said Unfortunately, we are experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again after sometime.

Argh!

i just spent 30 minutes on a yogurt survey, got to the end and was told i did not qualify - went real slow, read and answered every question to the best of my ability and did not qualify. i am livid right now as it took me all day just to get that one.
