Is the survey supposed to end abrubtly with no indication that I finished it as I stare at the "Let's Get Started" screen again?
NO it's a glitch! i got it to just next-through it again all your answers should be there already.
Yeah I just finished,my god that was annoying though. To think that I could've had to start all over.

Love to take the survey, but the link to the survey 404's for me.
Same here. Why must you taunt us so?!
Fixed! :)
On the phone question, (What network provider are you on/what type of phone.) you're missing the tick boxes for the "Other" section, just so you know.
Unless I'm stupid and missing something very obvious. :p
I'm having the same problem. I typed something in but it still gives me the error and I really don't want to go back and fill in the rest of my stuff again if possible :p
Same here. I had to fill in my network in the "Other" section, but cannot continue beyond this page. Shame, looks like I'll just have to give up on this survey for now.

Mine bugged out at like 90% completion and I have to start over. Obviously these things happen with technology but I'm a little irked because I put a lot of effort in to my answers. :(

You're going to want to look in to that. I'm using Chrome, if it helps.

It booted me back to the start, with all my answers saved, when I would click next, on a few occasions. Other than that, well done, survey accomplished.

Still grumbling about the music section.

A lot of gamers are into metal music. (not defining metal subgenre's now :) )
But that wasn't an option. Deeply offended now. ^^

Also missing a lot of other boxes.

...So who else put 999 for how often they visit the site in a week? And checked nearly every box about what they they thought of the site?

Also, it saddens me that the music choices included film scores but not video game soundtracks. Civ 4 did win a Grammy after all.

May I suggest adding a button for the "other" options? I'm pretty sure I won't be enter for the prize draw since I'm from the UK (since the Gift Card is in $) but still I wanted to take the survey anyway.

We are currently looking into the cause of the error. Rest assured, all your answers are saved and will not be deleted by going to a different page.
Deleted mine. I've done the daily/weekly ones twice now :(

Also, the mobile phone question won't complete unless you choose an American phone operator. "Other" doesn't have a tick box.

Finally finished. It kept on going back to the beginning. I wrote quite a bit on a page, and had to write it all again. though fingers crossed for that Gift card.

Filled it in.

So...any way I could persuade you to give me that badge? For being such a lovable guy? Please?
I don't know man, that one Badge you already have called "Connector" seems legit. It's like E.T is touching his friend's finger with an amazing glowing finger...

*Touches your finger with mine* :}

OT: Even though I already posted, that's another reason why I love this website: The Staff really care about us members. Even to put up a survey, give us chances to win prizes along with unique custom Badges/stuff. I'm a very happy User, thanks to you guys.
I am especially proud of those four. ^^
Although I think I may be even more proud of Forum Vagabond, as I may have been one of the last people to get that. Without making an off-topic post in a dead forum no less. Super-proud. ^^

"The comment you entered is in an invalid format. Please enter a whole number. If you visit The Escapist more times than you can count, we <3 you and any number above 100 will work."

D'aww, I love you guys too. By the way, there isn't an "other" or none box for the mobile phone question. You can put in an answer of your own, but you still have to select one of the other boxes.

Finished it, with the same sorts of issues as the people above me. Thankfully, my survey only reset three times, once for each of the first three pages, so I didn't lose much in the way of answers.

Happy to help, Escapist.

Yep, I keep getting to 81% and then I'm back at the beginning I have to click "next" to go through again.

You should have a question, "How many times will you attempt to complete a messed up Escapist survey before posting a complaint in the forum?". Complain, complain!

So, I never got a completion message, because after reaching the page "About you" I clicked the 'next' button only to be returned to the beginning of the survey. In addition to this, when asked for my cellphone provider the Other option didn't work.
