Bill, I edited this "fix me" survey: http://surveycentral.org/survey/4780.html and when I was done, it showed the page that tells about qualification and all that. I clicked the link to view the survey and SC logged me out. I was at the login page, with the survey displayed, but without being me. Weird. |

Bill, would it be possible to work up some sort of guidelines as to what are and are not valid reasons to give a "needs work" to a survey in qualification? I've been seeing some surveys n/w'ed solely on the basis that they are meta-surveys. That doesn't seem valid to me, especially since there is a category for them. Some guidance from above would be appreciated I think. |

It will take a little getting used to, but I think it's fine. I thought the other way was fine too. |

Bill, the UnQualified page is telling me there are 41 unqual surveys. The first page shows 1-20 and gives me a link to the next twenty. When I click that, I get "Surveys - (21 to 40 of 41)" but no link to the 41st survey. It just goes to 40 and stops. |

The problem with the surveys is that they need to be able to stand on their own. You make references to a performance appraisal that you've only explained in any detail in a completely different survey. You can't expect that people will see your first survey and then the rest will follow in order; it's highly unlikely that anyone will see them that way. Each survey must be complete in and of itself. Hope that helps. |

wesley: Welcome. Unfortunately, this thing doesn't appear to be working much at all right now, sadly coinciding with the admin fellow being on vacation. Hopefully when he gets back, everything will be up and running in no time. We hope... |

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing these bugs. |

bill: The Brave New World survey at his moment is at (1+/-1-[0-1]). That's just weird. I don't think it really matters which n/w is specifically being overridden, but that point can be addressed by simply manipulating the counts rather than the actual votes. In the case of the BNW survey I just mentioned, the override would stay an override but the count would change to (2+/0-). Of course that raises the question of what happens if someone else does an n/w after that. Does the existing override get reapplied to the new n/w? That can end up being a problem since the new n/w may be perfectly valid. However, doing it the other way (having the existing override count only against previous n/w's) opens a loophole: someone who is overridden can change their vote to reasonable and back again, thereby bypassing the existing override. It's quite a tangled little web... |

Bill, I think I just came up with a pretty cool feature for qualification. I overrode someone's n/w; they decided my point was valid and changed their vote to reasonable. At that point the survey was (1+/0-[0-1]), which doesn't really make sense since there's an override with no corresponding n/w. It might be cool to set it up so that if the n/w count drops below the override count, enough overrides are automatically changed to reasonable to even it out. |

bill: The catch-up feature is very cool! Thanks for implementing it. I notice that it also appears on the page for the What's New filter, but for obvious design reasons it has no effect. I know because I have seven really old yet still active surveys that I tried to catch up on; I'll just hide them instead. Would it be practical not to show "catch-up" on that page? Just a thought. I thought the explanation text was really good too...I realized right away that it wouldn't apply to that page.
Oh here's another question: does the catch-up apply to all unread comments or only those found in the surveys displayed by the current filter? |
