Ooh I like the sound of cold hard cash

But still have to get round not being able to use IE.......I use Firefox and Safari. Has anyone else successfully used another browser for Abai??

This is where I show my ignorance - Firefox and IE??????

Firefox is a web browser and so is IE (Internet Explorer - the one most people use).

No Roxy I've had no joy except with IE - I could view the jobs but not select them (if that makes sense!!). It's a pain, but there are a few of the ms comps that I have to switch to IE to complete their reports etc. But, otherwise I stick with firefox. Maybe someone else has had some luck with another browser?

I remember someone saying about putting a search in for companies and the word MS after it to find out with MS comp has them, but I cant find anything for certain American/Italian restaurant chain, I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with a pm pls?
Also can anyone give me some tips on the search words for google? I'm being a bit blonde and never getting anything!
TIA

I can defo confirm that abai don't like firefox - I've lost a few good looking jobs due to this. But I'm not a techie so can anyone tell me whether it's easy to install ie and whether the two can sit there on the pc happily waiting to be used?

..sounds like I'm asking whether ie gets jealous if you use ff but hopefully someone knows what I mean..can you have both and just use when you feel like it and is it easy to add ie?

Have you tried the IE tab, from Firefox

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419

I have a little icon on my toolbar that says IE tab and I can switch to that, whilst still in Firefox, it's brilliant and quick to use for companies that don't like Firefox.

HTH :beer:

Hi fellow mystery shoppers!

I recently signed up to TNS with their lengthy application process, however I am going to sign up to a few more, anyone want to PM me an invite to Retail eyes? The other two I am signing up to are GfK and Grassroots, are these good ones to move onto along with TNS?

Even us newbies soon cotton on that a free meal isn't free if you have to do a report afterwards! Saying that I've accepted one for next weekend before we go to the cinema with the tickets I won It will be my first job for that company so good experience.

I won't make a habit of it, but now and then maybe......

I saw a train ticket visit which I liked the look of till I checked the price - and nearly had a heart attack. Nearly £1k :eek: No, I did not accept that one :rolleyes:

And I have a question re Abai - do they still pay in vouchers?

yes, i kow what you mean about train fares...'usually' something like £150 they say...yeah and the rest! ,
