User Survey

ewoss3 - You don't understand /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif...

My EarthForce is silver and black, like all the other ones. I wanted it painted pink, and Harv agreed to do it, but it was taking him so long to get to it that I complained, so several others said they would help him. But it's still silver. This has been my only real major disappointment with TBN - everything else I've ever asked for from the guys here, they've always come through for me, but not this time... /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

Well the authentication is such that while it may pop up more than once, for most people it won't after it pops up once... 

Its popped up 3 time so far for me. Too bad answering it twice doesn't count. I was hoping to skew things in my favor. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

In other words, he may know that one member has an EF-5 or another may live in Frost, Texas, but there is no way to trace either one to their income or marital status.

Harv,
Not sure I totally agree with that. I had the "pop-up" survey request and filled it out several days ago. A few minutes ago, I clicked on Muhammad's link in the top post and it brought up the survey complete with the answers that I had given it when I had filled it out. I even went back and cleared my history, disk cache and memory cache to make sure it wasn't pulling up the stored page from my computer, went back and tried again with the same results. It may have cookied my computer, but somewhere, somehow, the survey software knows me (or at the least, my computer) and the answers I gave are stored.

BTW, I didn't mind answering the survey at all.

Hoss,

The program is working as it should, but again it is not identifying you but just that you are the same "user" that filled it out before.

A cookie tracks your submission, and also allows you to go back and change your answers if you choose to do so, and that way it won't count as two submissions... only one, and the end result is a more accurate survey.

Thanks again for participating...

Muhammad, that thing has popped up for me at least 4 times. I filled it out the first time. Kinda feel like getting a kids dart gun and start shootin' at it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Muhammad...

No offense... it's very irritating like an annoying pop-up as on other sites... it just doesn't know when to quit... /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

By the way... exactly what is the point of this vast survey anyways...?

I'm relatively new here but I think the idea is to get more on the website that people want. I took the survey, and it popped up a couple more times. It really didn't bother me to much. I'm just happy someone cares what I think about the site. I've been on many sites that don't. So I'll say thanks for asking. John no offense to you, you were just last on the list. Kent

Kent...

See what happens when you get on the "bottom" of somebody's list.... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

John, Muhammed mentioned that it tracks by using cookies. Is it possible that it keeps popping up on you because you're not logged in?

I was prompted at every PC I use (I always login to TBN). I filled in the survey the first time I was prompted. I've never been prompted again on that PC which means, I assume, the cookie was set. On the other machines, I was prompted multiple times until I clicked on Exit Survey (upper right hand corner) versus just closing the survey window.
