the new site works better than the old one for me -- I'm using IE8 -- but I did get a survey that went up to 115 per cent! And the questions are still ridiculous.

I'm using IE8 too, but still problems

As soon as they ask for ages of your children, I know I'm going to be screened out, as both my girls are over 21. This site is much worse than the previous one.

pm'd a bg to move this to a discussion thread as not really a freebie

I find Valued Opinions poor you get asked loads and you rarely qualify for the payout..

Littlewren well no offence but at over 21 they dont really class as children anymore but other adults in your property. Obvously any survey relating to childrens issues are not going to apply to them - effectively you have no kids in one polls concerns..

I take your point but this is a strange question in surveys and varies depending on the type of survey you are taking. I do have 2 children. Yes, they are adults but they are still my children. I'm not going to put that I don't have any just because they are grown up.

Also, some surveys will go up to say, age 18, which helps. If a survey says 21+ like One Poll, then they obviously recognise that in effect, they are still my children, just not teens or younger.

Has anyone else just finished the week-long food diary/mayonnaise consumption diary for MySurvey? I thought the original invitation stated that 720 points would be awarded for successful completion, but on finishing it today I found that it was only 220 points. Unfortunately I don't have the original invitation email so that I can check properly. Thanks.

I wondered whether anyone else has had the same problem as me with the survey mentioned above?

This thread?

Can I ask why its not a freebie? Its been on the freebies board for several years now, along with all the other single threads devoted to various other survey sites. Not sure why they would need to be moved and if so, where to?

There's also loads of threads of this kind on the Up Your Income board. Personally - and I know I must have said it 100 times on this forum - I think we need a new board for Surveys, Daily Clicks & Cashback. Then we can put all the threads like this, Toluna, OnePoll, Quidco etc into one place and not have them dotted about. Also it would make it easier to open new threads about specific questions, rather than having e.g. every single Toluna post merged into one huge thread where your question gets lost amongst all the other posts. If we do that now it's seen as clutter, but if we had a dedicated board it would be acceptable to have multiple threads about different aspects of the same site. I've suggested it to MSE before but it's never happened. I think we have enough threads to warrant it.

Brilliant idea, that's exactly what we need! I posted about My Personal Routine earlier as I haven't received my points for it, but I didn't know where to post it so I put it in with Freebies, but Sarah1972 mentioned that it should be moved. Trouble was I didn't know where it would be moved to!

I did that survey too, but not had 720 points added as yet
