Thanks for your help. I've now posted the poll at http://polling.nationalforum.com.au/index.php/399196/lang-en

Would be interested in any feedback in the next few hours, in case there is something amiss with the survey.

In the end I decided to test attitudes on the carbon tax mandate, Gonski, unauthorised boat arrivals, debt and which party voters trust between the two majors.

question..9 has no palmer/united..option?

Yes, that's right as you can't "normally vote" for a party that has only just come into existence.

not strictly..to your last question..never the less..of interest
[im presuming..we all get targeted adds..by another..agency[some ad server]..anyhow..IT SEEMS*..they..noted i..took a survey

and the add..is simply a black box
a question..and 4..boxes..[IT..looks like a survey-question]

[but is an advert..]..anyhow i..thought maybe grayman..can/use a similar technique..to do REAL surveys*..[simply put in a new box]

while we are talking about boxes..long
threads could fit in..more paid advert..boxes?

the other thought was..the 'spying' angle
for the bad-rad-don..thread..[Court vindicates Snowden]
http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6152&page=0

sorry further thoughts..re adding in..boxes..
thought was..SOME posts..demand answers..[maybe survey questions]
SPECIFIC survey/questions..

[could they..be inserted..under..chosen/].posts...replies..
*to get INSTANT..feed back/surveyed opinion..[that 'seems to'..have more 'media'-interest than simple fact..reporting..][street-opinion/sport..stock-marketeering..isnt news]

re the survey..i.have changed my mind..since hearing tony the other day..he seemed more happy..and focused..this has changed that i put on/the poll question..[its NOW..not upto-date]..yep im a swing-voter
bill..has looked weaker..in what he is talking about..but tony..improved..[at least..by his words]

OTHER/issues..just to note..a few of us are running against the comment..limit..on..articles..[considering..that we have many more articles choices..of topic..than..'general'..any chance of making them..both..20/4?

[also..slightly related..often..im..finding i need compose..a reply..another thread reply..to record my thoughts..occasionally i forget thats not the topic..and post..it later[forgetting..its on the wrong reply-form]

[this could be easy? fixed..by allowing..the reply form..but not the posting..mode?]..any..unexpected updates [trends]..on the poll?

regardless..yours always
