General Chat

I heard last week that GR was conducting a survey of users of GR ............... through Facebook

I emailed them to find out how non-Facebook users could also participate in the survey, and why they had not done the survey through this site.


The response from GR included the following link .....................


Please find below a link to the survey that you refer to.

http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7




I filled out the survey last night, it took about 20 minutes or so, partly because the last 2 questions ask for comments and suggestions on the site and how to improve it.



Please take the time to follow the link.



I believe it is important that we the users of GR do have input into the site.

who knows?

I'm pretty cynical about GR


But we can't complain too much if we haven't filled in the survey can we??



which is why I am spreading the information about the boards :)))))



sylvia

Me too Sylvia.... in fact cynical is a mild
word for me to use.
I will however have a look tomorrow (will it let me in without being a face book member?) and my opinions known....
I have a fridge magnet which says... *the whole world is entitled to my opinion*.... and I agree.

Going to bed now though.
Good night all,

GR invited its members to apply to participate in market research due to take place in London; also, I believe that members were invited to contact the market research company through its given email address.

After I sent an email stating "My opinion is that it would be more useful if the questions that would be asked in the research were sent to each paid and unpaid member. Otherwise, I really do not think that there will be a balanced result. The site has members worldwide; therefore it would, I feel, be unfair to solely concentrate on members based in or near the capital of England.", I received a reply from GR, part of which stated "We are also going to be conducting an online survey though that you'll be able to take part in." I have not yet seen the online survey on GR. However, I understand that it is advertised on facebook.

In the event that GR does not advertise it through GR, I think it is important that we give constructive criticism – the site is given on GR’s page on facebook:
"For all those who could not take part in the research study sessions taking place in London, we have created an online survey. Participate in the survey here http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7"

Brought forward :-)

Thank you Sylvia. I have given my constructive opinion. BC

Thanks Joy.

London??? Oh I'll just nip down there lol

*EDIT....found it and have done it now* Thank you.

Marion

Thanks girls, I have done it now.
Hope they don't decide that I am too much of a liability, and chuck me out. ;-0)
For all the faults on here, I would be absolutely lost without my GR.
Deanna X

Thank you all


bringing it forward again

On the general board now:
http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1230142


And posted by GR on the chat board with a sticky, albeit the first line before one opens it is about something else :-)
("Has your family history taken you on an exciti...")

Sticky AWOL?

http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1230142
is now invalid thread

Please keep this nudged for GR because their sticky has disappeared.
Thank you :-)

They have been doing that for quite a while now, some of the time :-)

This was the content of the sticky that disappeared; from "Genes"

For all of those who could not take part in the research study sessions taking place in London, we have created an online survey. Participate in the survey by copying and pasting this link into your browser address bar. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7

To all of those who have already taken the time to complete the survey, we would like to thank you for your time and opinions

Have just sent this email:-



General board Genes' sticky has disappeared

I thought you would want to know that the Genes' sticky about the survey has disappeared from the general board
ie
"For all of those who could not take part in the research study sessions taking place in London, we have created an online survey. Participate in the survey by copying and pasting this link into your browser address bar. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AXVZ2AAJ7
To all of those who have already taken the time to complete the survey, we would like to thank you for your time and opinions"


It is still on the chat board but looks as if it is about something different - "Has your family history taken you on an exciti..." until it is opened.

I look forward to the survey thread being reinstated on the general board. I feel it is important that you receive constructive criticism. Thank you.

Thank you Joy


I wonder what reply you will get?
