    Spam survey

    How annoying! Every click brings up a survey. Even though I click never, it keeps coming back.

    Perhaps it's time for another break. If management WANTS this board to die completely, that's a good start.
    When you’re left out of the club, you know it, when you’re in the club, you don’t see what the problem is.

    Naw, I am having the same problem. I turned on the popup blocker to stop it but still the indicator lets me know everytime I go to a different page it is stilltrying to come up.
    It's not the computers that keep having problems, it's the users!!

    Surveys? I'm not getting a popup for a survey here. That's strange.

    Hit "Later". It stops them from showing up for a while.

    But I agree, this survey thing is a P.I.T.A., and should be removed.

    Haven't seen any survey until I disabled adblock and allowed popups.

    I usually have pop ups turned off, but I may have set this site to always allow.

    Today, I am on XP, IE 8, and no survey. And Windrivers is in the allow list for pop ups.

    Is your first response always that it's the customers fault?

    Maybe someone got the message as it seems to be gone now.
