    OK Steph - maybe you only said it once but somebody else also made a similar comment. Sorry if I credited you with both comments !

    I've now had a response from Pinecone which I will try to cut & paste :

    You are correct, we don’t want our sing up page in public forums.

    Karen Scott
    Web site: http://www.pineconeresearch.co..uk

    I hope that will be sufficient evidence to back up my original comment. Please note that I have not given away any info to Pinecone which might have an adverse effect on any Pinecone shoppers on this site - I was very careful in what I said to them

    We all agreed that the sign up page was not to be posted. I thought our point was that we were allowed to discuss pinecone in general just not give links to the sign up page and not discuss the surveys/trials. Or was I on the moon? :confused:
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    I don't think so - my original warning was that people should not post links to Pinecones sign up page and I was asked to provide evidence to back up my comment as some people disputed this.

    Ah, here we go, knew there was something about Pinecone and MSE:

    Purely posting this out of interest by the way.
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    I don't know why Chelle - they are just super sensitive about the privacy issue. The surveys are fairly interesting and easy to do and the LV's can be used in loads of places. Its well worth looking out for a link and signing up even if it takes a long time to find one ! Not worth upsetting them though - they don't give you second chances if you infringe their rules. Good Luck.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Although people probably prefer Paypal, i always opt to have the luncheon vouchers and save them up, i have had about £40 and gave some to my mum last year and i have £20 which i've put aside for times of emergency/Christmas shopping.
    If it was in Paypal i'd have blown it on eBay long ago :o
  • has anyone who was lucky enough to find a banner to register had any problems when answering the few questions to allow you in the queue for your first survey. had access probs first so emailed them sorted that out then had page problems, so i emailed and they sorted that out, then when i got to the end of the questions, on the very last page it timed me out, so i have emailed them again, but had no reply. has anyone else had this problem in the last few days?

    I can only suggest you keep emailing them - 'boss lady' WILL reply eventually.
