greeneyeddevils Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I did one today...hated it...I don't understand why companies screw with something that wasn't broken to begin with...for as long as I can remember I would get an invite from Pinecone to complete a survey & once I was done it went to that "Thanks for completing the survey screen" ...for today...I got to do some survey & at the end it ended up on an error page..no clue why Pinecone is going this route...but wait..they said when I sent them a message that we the survey takers asked for this change? Ahhh no I didn't...wtf...it was fine the way it was now it's crap...I want my $5 for finishing that survey Pinecone!... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkergirl Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 So like I mentioned before the old one kicked me to the curb when they finally let me try to do it ,then boom they sent me another one and this one I did get to go all the way to the end . I also did not ask for them to change either and I still cash out every time just what I do with all the surveys as soon as I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the error page must've went through since I got credit for the survey today...I still don't like this new system...I'd liked it the way it was before where I knew 100% that I was going to do a Pinecone survey & not rolling the dice & hoping to score one the way it is now.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 They had no choice but to replace their Adobe Flash based system. The technology is going to be gone from everything within the next five years. Your future panelists aren't going to be on desktop/laptop machines either.

Elwood33 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Very annoyed with this as well. I also emailed them but never heard back earlier this week. I have tried 3 surveys now that have timed out with an error, loading for 5min or longer or eventually say I didn't qualify when reloading. I just tried one now and almost completed it but near the end of the survey it seem to have started over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkergirl Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 I am really confused I had one survey and I emailed Karen and never heard any thing so I sent a message through the web site and tried later that day ( after 3 days of problems ) and it worked . but I did not qualify .Then just yesterday I get a message from her saying forget that survey and try a future one .Its crazy .Then I finally get the follow up survey for a product test ,I think I am suppose to get credits for this one because I did have and try the product .

TomServo Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Verification that this is definitely a Flash issue..... You can still take the surveys with Firefox IF you are using Linux. The only major difference between the Linux version of Firefox and the Windows version is that Linux still has a Flash plugin which is installed as part of the standard Linux installation - at least on Linux Mint and Ubuntu. Since Linux itself is more secure than Windows, presumably some of the flaws in the Windows version of Flash are not present in the Linux version, though I still keep it as "Ask to Activate" in the settings, so I don't have to use it unless no other alternative is available.

theskyhunter Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 I didn't ask for the change either and I don't know any one who did. I had 2 completed surveys lately and got an error page both times. but to their credit they did give the $3 for each one. absolutely hate the new way!! I haven't had nothing but trouble with them since the new set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I got one the other day and all it did was spin me around from survey to survey and I never qualified. This keeps up and it will be BUH BYE!! Pinecone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
