woodenhead Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Some answers are pre-filled and I don't want to be entered into the competition but it demands I fill in my personal details. Also there is a question on lapsed subscribers that doesnt apply but I still have to answer the question. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbiewood Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thank you for the feedback - we're using a new system, so there are a couple of niggles. I'll take a look in a mo and will let you know when amended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Keith Addenbrooke Posted March 8, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 8, 2022 Per the response from @Debbiewood above, I think this might be a system issue - possibly as I’m on an iPad? I’ve had a couple of goes at the questionnaire, today through the website and a week or so ago via the email, but whenever I’ve hit the “Submit” button nothing seems to happen - I can’t tell if my response has been registered, if nothing has happened, or if I’ve accidentally sent in multiple responses (from hitting the button a few more times on each occasion just in case). I’m only trying to respond once, honest, Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Huw Griffiths Posted March 9, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2022 Filled it in. If a similar survey were to be run in future, I wonder if it might be worth splitting the "clubs / societies" question. In my case: Societies - yes - DEMU, MERG. Clubs - chance would be great; not aware of a club in Cwmbran; can't get to / from meetings for clubs elsewhere by public transport. As for magazines, I didn't notice any mention of Warner's NG or Garden Rail titles. Also, such staples as MRJ, Continental Modeller - and even Model Railroader, Eisenbahn Kurier, MIBA and Loco Revue don't get a mention ... . (OK - I can understand about foreign language titles, however good - but as for MRJ, Continental Modeller and Model Railroader - where are they?) I could also mention e-zines, like Model Railroad Hobbyist (advert funded - and targeted at the larger US market - but gets some very interesting articles, some very practical indeed). Ultimately, with surveys like this, they'll only tell publishers what they allow them to tell - so very much a case of "it is what it is". I wonder how long it might be before we get invited to write about some of the projects we're working on. You know the sort of thing : "Readers' Workbenches"* ... . (*OK - perhaps some people might prefer a different title - and a more accessible location in the local reading room WHS - but I suspect you get the general idea. We need to think about where the next generation of model makers might come from.) Anyway, that's enough about that. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll investigate the IPAD issue, but if the link defaults back to the WoR homepage, that means a response should have been registered, as the same IP address can only enter once. In the interim, I'd perhaps suggest entering on a computer or phone instead - not helpful I know, but the system has a few limitations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter749 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 I was happy to fill in the questionnaire but I did not want to enter the prize draw for something I own. But if I don't put my details in then I cannot complete it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Are there limits on the content given for the “other” answers, please? I have listed my suggestions for improving content, the various magazines I buy and so forth but I don’t get anything when I try to submit. Apologies if I have written too much!

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted April 6, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) Can fill in survey but on clicking submit it gives a 503 error on both Mac and iPhone using Firefox ... update - it works fine on Windows 11 using Firefox so it would appear that the survey hasn't been tested on Apple products. That excludes some people so not very good IT testing (my partner is an IT tester) and/or customer experience is it? And that comment has probably blown any chance I had of winning ...
