Isa, I did take your test thingy, but what I wrote was about TS predominantly and not for the other named communities but there wasn't a box (that I can remember seeing) that let me differentiate between the selection of fora (pl forum coz I iz edukated!)

Hi Frances! Thanks for taking the test thingy  and Yea that's what I intend you to do - to answer all the questions basing on your feeling towards the online community you selected at the very beginning, which i think in your case is TS, right? If you remember under the question below there was the little instruction as shown in the bracket.

Which of the following Apple Users Communities are you most involved in?

(If you participate in more than one of the Apple users communities, please choose only the community that you are MOST involved in, and base your answers throughout the entire questionnaire on the selected community.)

Are we talking about the same thing? Or did I misunderstand you??

This is a test. If it were not a test, you would be told. If it were a real post, you would gather reams of information about various topics instead of the fact that you are set up correctly to receive a racking message.

Thank you for your attention. You are now free to resume whatever duties you have been assigned.

Your Supporters

muahaha! thanks Xairbusdriver.

Your message was quite philosophical, a bit too sophisticated for my little brain hahaa.... i have to re-read before I finally understood it...  

but now i know i've made the correct setting, so i guess i'm allowed to resume my focus on the chocolate cookie. yay

My older son has been laid off by a contractor for a "major" U.S. telephone company because of survey answers that were not entirely favorable.

   Oh, that's horrible, that's not democracy!

Yup, the software covers that. Go to your first post, look in the upper right hand corner and there's a clickable-drop down menu: OPTIONS

Click on that and select TRACK THIS TOPIC and then select the option you want and click the PROCEED button.

I enjoyed your survey and look forward to hearing that you did super well on your dissertation.

Thanks kimmer! I have followed your instructions about tracking the topic, think i've done the setting now ~ will be able to verify it if somebody reply to this thread

Oh sorry, one question, is there a setting in TS that allows me to receive email alerts when there are replies or new posts in the thread that i'm participating in?

thank you!

Hello Hello!

Thanks kimmer for helping to do the little trick on my email address!

and Thanks everybody for the welcome and for completing the survey  

Gunug, haven't thought that there's the "election seasons effect", maybe I should be more strategic in planning the time to launch such kind of survey if i am doing it again... hm... but finger crossed that i'll not be doing it again too soon assuming I'll pass the dissertation

Hi Techsurvivors members!

Nice to meet you.

I am a postgraduate student doing my MSc. Marketing in the University of the West of England, Bristol.

As a Mac user myself, I am particularly interested to base my dissertation on brand loyalty in Apple Mac products. More specifically, I am researching the impacts of online Apple communities on members' loyalty towards Apple.

In order to gain insights on the above I am conducting a simple web survey which consists only multiple-choice questions, and will take around 5 minutes to complete.

It would be really helpful if you can fill in the survey by going to the following link:

http://bristol.qualtrics.com//SE?SID=SV_0jIverMfxHUa3xG

The research is entirely for academic purpose and no personal information that can lead to identification will be required. All data collected will be permanently destroyed once the dissertation is completed.

Thank you very much for sparing your time!

p.s. If you have any opinions on my research topic which are not covered by the survey, please feel free to raise them here, or alternatively contact me via my email: isa.mark AT ymail DOT com.

Thanks again!  

Best regards,
Isabel
