I have done the survey once, now the bloody pop up pops up every time I open a new page, and it won't allow me to retake it or ignore it. :mad:

Please can someone turn the thing off or fix it!

It would also be nice to know the survey is for. I got half way through it before I twigged that this is not the kind of information that MyBB needs. All seem a bit tacky and spammy to me.

It is an Effective Measure demographics survey. We have no control over it...

I do however agree that it should not come back after being completed or after you have indicated that you do not want to complete it.

Uncle rpm, I've seen the survey pop up if I'm at my brother's place on ADSL, but I've never seen it pop up on CellC or MTN or Vodacom?

Is there any reason for this?

OK - that's it! I am now not visiting MyBB until someone with some sense removes this bloody thing! It is THE most irritating thing next to a mosquito buzzing in your ear at 2 in the morning! :mad:

Official comment from Effective Measure:

"There was a problem last week and the survey were taken off-line on all SA sites. The continual pop-up has been resolved and the survey are live again."

I think the data that they are collecting is a bit irrelevant because they keep on asking the same people the same questions.

Surely they must be able to tell if you have completed the survey ?

Oh my goodness, make this bs stop. The survey doesn't load, but the "template" is still there, preventing me from clicking reply-related buttons!

My favourite in these surveys is always the 'where're you from' drop down, starting in Albania or something. Gotta mission all the way down to SA. Why not just add the most likely couple of countries to the top/default?? :confused:

Crap survey.

After making a similar thread to this and having it pop up about 10 times again I blocked the entire survey site.

Um, you do realize that if you press "S" in a drop down box it zooms all the way down to the "S" countries? :D
