Thanks for your feedback.

I let this one through because I wanted to see how widespread the issues were with that questionnaire, otherwise I would have treated it as being something to deal with technically with the provider of the survey software.

The survey is run by the advertising agency that sells the advertising space on our site. Unlike my questionnaires, which sample people who've opted-in to my list, and who aren't necessarily readers of OLO at all, this one is supposed to randomly pop-up and ask people reading OLO for some demographic questions. This should give us a sample of readers.

The survey has been in operation since late last year, but the other day it popped-up on me for the first time. It's done that a few times since. So I'm trying to work out what appears to be going on on the site as a first step to getting the advertising agency to get the mechanism sorted. It's not supposed to sample the same person twice, and certainly not in the one session, but this appears to be happening.

I'm also not sure why it seems to be popping-up more frequently lately.

Your responses are anonymous. They're only being used to build a profile of readership, not individual readers. We don't have any ability to work out who is online and deliver material specific to them.

Thanks Graham. FYI - it's stopped doing it now :)

Having read this thread this morning I knew better.
But as it helps GY to pay the bills?
I let an idiot at the key board,ME! The bloody thing is haunting me, every page I open it pops up.
It must be addressed too many of us will be too careful to get caught again
GY please help!

Correction - it's off again. At least we know it's from OLO though :|

Er, I meant ON again, with a vengeance.

Like Belly said, GY please help!

CJ's computer obiviously has taken too much viagra.Mine is a very latent in it's pop up ability.

Actually the survey was not well composed.It assumed choices like newspapers that I don't read, and political parties that I don't support.There should have been a third option.It was just too shallow to deliver any worthwhile results.
