Are all surveys password protected? I have protected a lot of my areas. However, I created a GETTING STARTED page. I created it as a survey because I wanted it to have particular placement on my left hand column. I want people to be able to read this to learn how to register and create a profile. I have un-checked the password box. Yet, when I go to the homepage as a new person - not logged in - and I click the link, it says must be logged in first. Am I missing something?

Yes you have to be logged in to view a survey. There's a simple reason for this. If a non logged in viewer could see a survey page, they may well try to fill out the survey. But only members can fill out surveys. If we allowed that, then we'd have to inform the viewer their survey can not be submitted after they've spent a bunch of time filing it out. And that would be very frustrating for people.

As usual, makes perfect sense! I'll just have to move it lower in the list. Thanks.

RE: "Yes you have to be logged in to view a survey."

I have created a survey entitled 'Stand Up And Cheer,' and it is viewable from the Log In page.

I am obviously missing something!
[perhaps, since this original post dates back to 2009, the recent 'updates' caused this to change?]

Thanks!

Not so recent changes fixed this issue. You can view the survey if not logged in (unless password protected), but you need o be logged in to fill in the survey

Is there a way to just have a dozen or so people see and reply to a survey?

A way to do it is to create the survey make it active, access it and copy the URL. Then make the survey inactive.

Send the URL to those you want to see it and reply. If they aren't logged on when they click on the URL they will be told they have to be logged on to reply. After logging on they'll have to enter the URL again so it may be a two step process.

There may be other ways to achieve what you're looking for but this is a way.
