Hello Andreas
I think I've done your suggestions.
1) I have the "Suppress display of the fundraiser banner" already
unchecked. I verified, and ensured its not checked, at least twice.
2) I set my browser to "Incognito" Mode. I use Chrome most recent version.
3) I went to the
en.wikipedia.org (English Wikipedia) and the banner isn't
showing.
I can't tell where the problem is from now. But for a survey that's
optional to take, should it be that hard and cumbersome to access? Assuming
your troubleshoot tips worked, will everyone (especially, the wikipedia
newbies) have to go through that process just to see a survey?
I wished i could add screenshots to proof it isn't showing, but thought of
this as a mailing list. But in all, its not working
Suggestion:
1) Please, if anyone has access, should verify to see if the banner is
allowed to show in the geographical location I'm in, Ghana. I know some
banners can be configured to show in certain parts of the world based on IP
preferences. Since Ghana wasn't listed even among the countries initially,
I won't be surprised if Ghana isn't part of the survey (Don't know how I
came across it for the first time though).
thanks

1. Make sure "Suppress display of the fundraiser

preferences (it's under gadgets) is NOT checked.
2. Set your browser to "Private Browsing" or "Incognito" of
"Stealth" mode
(whichever term your browser uses; this it to bypass any cookies that may
prevent the display of the banner).
3. Go to the English Wikipedia main page: you should then see the banner at
the top of your screen, with a link enabling you to do the survey.

Hi
I wish to take the Wikipedia survey after the addition of Ghana. But
can't
find the banner. Its not showing on my wikipedia
pages.
I'm accessing Wikipedia from Ghana.
To enable me take the survey as early as possible before it expires out,
can I have the link directly to the survey page?
Thanks
