Hi Chris,
I am getting very confused with Google Forms. I cannot find links and
buttons to click and follow instructions from, and the keystrokes are
working in a weird way, perhaps something that I am unable to keep up
with or understand.
I would like to sincerely request you, or others, to please give me a
quick walkthrough of Google Forms or other accessible survey creation
services via any preferred medium. My contact details are all in my
signature.
I would truly appreciate any assistance.
Thanks.

Dear all,
I require to create an online survey about a certain potential
initiative and the amount of interest in it people may have, which may
include several question types - country combo box/dropdown, open
ended question edit box, radio button and check box, and an
introductory paragraph.
For this, I seek your advice and recommendations of a free online
survey creation service that could fulfill my purpose.
I do not need very advanced functionality, simply basic survey
creation, sharing and results analysis features would suffice.
I would really appreciate any assistance any of you may be willing to
give!
Thanks.

Rather strangely, the click sound amongst others seems not to be being
played any more in IE or Firefox even though the start navigation sound
is still selected and plays from the control panel dialogue fine on both
Windows7 and 10. anyone else noticed this. One is using a usb sound card
the other the built in realtek one so i doubt if that is the issue.
It seems to be working on xp though, which is, as someone once said,
illogical.

Yes I suspect it is an issue with the character sets used in the country
that the page is indicating. Maybe its as simple as that.
However actually getting in touch with anyone at Creative who is not a
marketing person is almost impossible from past experience.

Hi Group,

I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. When I visit the
below web page on the Creative Laqs site, I get oddities with the
prices for the various products. For example, many of the prices are
ridiculously high such as $16999 for a set of small portable speakers.
When examining it closely, it seems these figures are deleting a
decimal point and replacing it with the first digit after the decimal
point. So the above example should actually read $16.99. This has
happened a number of times over the years. Here is the page.

Yes I have that issue with a computer site in firefox.
I think what is happening is that decimal points are just not being
rendered.
Ie if something says it is 30.00 it will say 3000.
if say something is 20000.44
you will get 1600044.
If the price seems to high, you may try to manually add in the points,
sometimes it works well enough sometimes but more often not.
Its like some things that are for old ie and other things who knows.
But the pages are not getting their points rendered right and have been
in firefox for a while now.
