Please make the survey stop!

Every time I follow a link now I get a pop up window to fill out a survey ... I did it the first time, but now I have to click "No" on the pop up box for every new page I visit (meaning each new thread I visit!).

Please, make it stop!

In case anyone else runs into this problem, clearing the cache fixed it (on the recommendation of the folks administering the survey).

Thank you for sharing the solution Beckles. I'm glad our survey team was able to provide a solution to your problem. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I've got the survey square running in the background too. Forgive my lack of computer savvy--how do you go about clearing the cache to make it stop?

TribeFlyer no prob.

I would advise holding down your "shift" key and clicking on your refresh/reload button first.

If this doesn't work, your browsers "cache" will be a part of your "preferences/options". Which should be, depending upon the browser that you are using, located either under your "edit" menu or your "view" menu. Then just follow the instructions from there.

If you have any problems drop me a line at mailto:[email protected][email protected]</A> or call me at 719.572.2715

The survey window only opened once, but every time I goto a new page it attempts to contact data.surveybuilder.com

This slows my browsing to a crawl, making it almost unbearable

Please make it stop.

I'm having great difficulty even getting the main FlyerTalk page. Before it even loads it hangs up at "connecting to host: www.datasurvey.com or something. I think if datasurvey is slow, so goes FlyerTalk. Please trash 'em unless they can get their act together.

sometimes still (and then for 5-10 minutes) very slow hanging to that survey-server (I did clear my cache several times) - and then again working normal.

I've had the same problem as premex - it looked for datasurvey for about 5 minutes and then defaulted to the main index page. Mind you, I still haven't seen the survey!

Now also after reading a thread and going "back" to the main FT page...yikes! 5 minute wait as "www.datasurveybuilder.com" does it's thing. This is making FT unusable. Please zap this company from your program.

I meant when I tried to go back to previous or next page, I see "data.surveybuilder.com" at the status field at the bottom of Netscape which hangs up for a while before displaying the FF pages. It has been VERY frustingly slow today.

My hair has grown grey, my goatee is grayer and the cats have run off to do their own fall sitcome ("Life without CATMAN")

As I said in earlier posts, surveys are a good idea but maybe not under this automatic log-on forum and pop goes the survey window.

You could created a separate thread under "buzz" or "general travel" for surveys.

And save me from growing old before I have to.

Thank you and have a MEOWY DAY!
