Question Specifications

Either Or
1. There is a limit of 1,000 characters for all questions. That is about one quarter of a page of text. Unfortunately, we can only check this amount after you have asked to preview your survey. We will delete any character beyond 1,000. Yes, this is harsh, but we all need limits. The number of characters in this paragraph is 651. If your question needs more than 1,000 characters to be explained, this is probably not the right forum for you to gather opinions. When preparing questions you might consider using a word processor to take advantage of spell checking and character count features. When the question is ready, just paste it into the field.

Several Choices
2. Maximum of 1,000 characters for all questions. See question type "Either Or" for details. You may have fewer than 10 selections. Leave the fields blank that you do not want to use. All selections after the field blank selection will be deleted.

You will need to explain to your audience that they can enter more than 1,000 characters but only 1,000 character will be sent to you. If your audience needs to say more, you could give them an email address. Again, you are limited to 1,000 characters to state your question and instruct your audience.
