Hi.
I am using LS for a medical questionnaire. Some patients have commented that they are not comfortable answering a 'free, open source' survey. I have looked in my files to try to find the file but can't locate it. Any ideas welcome. See screenshot for detail.

Thanks
Jack

LimeSurvey version and template used?

they will feel more comfortable using a privative and commercial software? really?

I agree that it is strange. But it is often easier to pander to these needs than argue!

Apologies tpartner:
Version 3.2.0+180206
Template: edited the 'LimeSurvey Fruity Theme_Bay of Many'

That's odd, I don't see that footer in a survey using an extension of Fruity. Can you activate a test survey?

Please, update to the latest version, this footer should not appear anymore.

Updated to
LimeSurvey
Version 3.14.5+180815

LS footer is still showing however

I agree that it is odd that people are scared by "free and open source", but actually I have seen and talked to people like that. I guess "free" is equal to "not good quality" in their mind. And open source means anyone can do anything to this software in their head.

Anyway, be it as it may, I also prefer NOT to show that a survey has been created with Limesurvey. This has nothing to do with LS, but I wouldn't want this to show for any tool.

All the free hosting services in the new economy boom phase. All these crappy GeoCities webpages

I had the experience of a few big Ecommerce sites which uses e.g. SurveyMonkey. They had advertising of the tool after submission.

Yeah, different priorities. I have seen quite a few big end clients doing DIY market research. Nothing against it. If they have the capacities and the knowhow and free resources, this makes sense. But they were using Surveymonkey as well, with the ad at the end. I would feel ashamed.

I would always prefer LS over the "monkeys", but hey, this is personal preference I guess.

I ask again, can you activate a test survey for us to see.
