Its unfortunate how Wikipedia is treating me like this.
I'll keep trying to see when Wikipedia feels satisfied and releases the
link to my screen.
i hope that happens before the survey period end.
I made a script with code extracted from the banner. Try putting this in
your location bar and see whether you get the survey again:
javascript:importScript('User:Liangent/editorSurvey2012.js');
Some browsers (like newer Firefox) prevent you from doing this. In this
case you have to go to its JavaScript console and run this line manually:
importScript('User:Liangent/editorSurvey2012.js');
You can also go to
bmit,
put the above line into the box, then preview it (in case you don't
know
how to use the JavaScript console).

Nkansah,
Are you sure you were logged in when you went to the main page? The
banner
will only show if you access the main page while
logged in.
If you were logged in, and the banner still does not show up for you in
Chrome's Incognito mode, then I am out of ideas ... and I agree with you
that the way this has been set up is completely unsatisfactory.
Best,
Andreas

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
