    What is the harm in picking one appropriate answer? :think:
    You seem to be holding back for some reason which I can't quite work out.


    I don't understand what you mean!! If the the two options given are 'Man' or 'Male' and I'm female how can I pick one?!!! If the question is 'Do you own a motorcycle?@ and the answer options are 'Yes' and 'Of course!' how can I pick one when I don't own a motorcycle!!

    I have about a dozen of these types of questions and answers. Time they were sorted or cleared out by Toluna!!

    In this case I wouldn't answer, but in the example given, assuming the poster is between 16 and 18, either answer would be okay, though I think 'Of course' is a bit odd. I have just come across the type of question you are talking about, I hadn't previously, hence my previous reply.

    When doing the short polls on Toluna website, does anyone else find that they are very slow and the page hangs for ages?

    Also does anyone else have an 'internet poll' showing on their homepage, and text saying profile 97% complete? It just won't let me access to complete.

    Yes its slow in everything to do with the toluna site.

    No mine says 100% you need to click the little icon under it which says what area the 3% is missing. Its more likely it does work just their 386 computers are struggling to send the info at 1 byte/min

    I hadn't logged in for ages, I checked in today and it says 12,500 points expired last week :(

    How many points do you need for a voucher? The site doesn't want to tell me - I have about 3000 right now.

    I answer Of Course but click close when it offers the survye link. If toluna are going to ask stupid questions like that, and continually have a site that takes 5 mins to load each page then I do them as compensation for the 1 hr I waste waiting for their site to load.

    I agree with you davester. The amount of times I've been a male to get some points...:rotfl:

    Their "quick" polls are really handy at racking up the points. I only need about 5500 to get my next voucher (which should arrive in time for Christmas ;))
