Thanks Deena.
Wow. I had crawled all over that dialog box about 50 times with no luck. Finally, I clicked on image url, not realizing the program provides the url where it looked like I should have supplied it myself.
Old system? Made of win.
This version? Made of suck.
I'm insenting the other thing you mentioned as soon as I dig it up.

Do people have any favoured survey websites/subscriptions/whatevers?
My church has been using Survey Monkey, but is wondering if we could be paying less. The surveys need to be confidential (not posted for any random person to see, and results not necessarily visible to respondants).
I could use some tips from someone who's actually tried out some different sites.

Ouise,
I LOVE google docs (they have a forms feature) which - as long as you don't need complicated skip logic - is perfectly fine for surveys, polls, etc.
if you have a gmail acct, you can go to google docs, and start doing a form. It is really easy, the results show up in a spreadsheet and you can make charts, etc.

Ouise, I use Constant Contact for email communication and they have a good survey product for not very much per month. Prices depend on how big your contact list is.
They also have auto-responders and other cool tools.

It deserves a separate post to thank Deena again for solving two age old mysteries...my wordpress login problem AND my link issue.
I'm no longer insane!
Well, at least not about this.

Ouise, what about installing Wordpress just to handle surveys? There are free survey plugins and contact form plugins. The contact form plugin I like best (http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin) creates a table of results in the back end that users with the proper permissions can view, but no one responding can see the results. It has a lot of other functionality too.
The design can be made to look like the rest of the website as well, you'd just need a mysql database for the data.

Thanks, le nubian, bonny & Deena, that's great! I'll check those out.
