I only use facebook to play scrabble so was totally unaware of this survey.
Thanks Joy and Sylvia for the thread and address - survey has been duly completed!

On and off, Sylvia, on and off. My own private flasher! Nobody else is getting an error message instead of an inbox? Damme, I'm special.

Most of the time I get error message (and oh look, the error has been logged!!), occasionally I get the inbox. It's worth hanging around here just to see what fresh hell they've dreamed up today for their paying, contributing customers, eh?

Hi.
Just read the text about improvements to this site the one i think they should do is improve the chat site. Make it like most of the others like facebook so its instant messaging instead of having to wait ages to see the next message

Ah, Joy, that would be the one where I posted the (still unread) PM I sent to "Genes"? Happy to repeat myself!

please take note - re GR survey post on Chat board

There is a stickied post on the Chat board about access to the online survey.

HOWEVER

This is how that post appears in the list for that discussion forum:

Genes Reunited Member Survey
Has your family history taken you on an exciti...


Note the line of text that appears under the subject line.

You are apparently not aware of how your message boards function.

Once a post has been added to the board, the text of the post can be edited and changed. This is evidently what you have done.

HOWEVER

The initial line of text that appears under the subject line on the board does *not* change. It will always be the initial line of whatever text was in the post when it was first added.

Evidently, rather than create a new post about the online survey, and pin it, you have edited the text of an existing post. This is the result.

Some of us find it rather entertaining that whoever is doing this is so utterly clueless about how the board functions.

Or perhaps you are not really wanting actual users of the site to access the survey?



I think I'll go request access to Genes's tree ...

This was the content of the sticky that disappeared; from "Genes"

For all of those who could not take part in the research study sessions taking place in London, we have created an online survey. Participate in the survey by copying and pasting this link into your browser address bar. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7

To all of those who have already taken the time to complete the survey, we would like to thank you for your time and opinions
