Dan,
Note that on my iPod Touch 5G (iOS 5/Safari), it is impossible to answer the survey. Selecting an option from the menu doesn't do anything...
I don't know if others have the same issue. If so, the results may be off...

Hmm-m, that's not good. There were a hundreds of votes, so hopefully it's not a widespread problem that would skew the results. But I'll look into adding a "Vote" button to avoid the problem.

The square arrow button near the "next" button on the bottom right side is what I am talking about.

Done. Now there's a "Vote" button, so you first make a selection from the dropdown and then submit (I tested it on an iPhone).

Dan- is there a possibility of adding a feature where we can upload pictures directly from our smartphones? This would be a nice feature since my only camera device is my phone anyway. Not sure about how difficult it would be to code, but it would be nice to have!

I've looked at various options (e.g., Picup and Aurigma Up); they all look rather clumsy to me. It appears Apple will finally add form upload to Safari in iOS 6:

Excellent! That fixes my problem! Not sure what other OS's experiences are like, but hopefully it will work for them as well!

It works!

Well, sort of... unlike the iOS Mail app, the upload photo button doesn't offer the chance to resize the photo prior to sending it to the website. Since an occasional photo upload hopefully won't put too much load on the server, I modified the board code to do the resize server-side, if required. The photo below was originally over 2Mb; it resized to 33 Kb.



Here's what the prompt looks like:

Excellent! Thanks Dan!

Does it also automatically resize when you upload via the standard Upload button (i.e., not from a smartphone?) That time-saver would be much appreciated.
