If I look at the Opinions I've posted on, quite often I can only see the opinion I posted. This happens even when I find the Opinion under its own category not just under My Opinions. I know what I wrote so I really don't need to see that, I'm interested in reading what other people have said.

I'm a new member so would really appreciate it if anyone can advise what I should be doing to see all the available comments as I can't work it out. Thanks for any answers.

click on the question above and you will see all opinions on that topic . Dont forget to tick agree if a person has responded to your opinion *

The last three replies I've tried to submit to different opinions have all made Toluna hang. They won't go through and it's really annoying... They've all been longish responses with @ 4 paragraphs or so. Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong or does Toluna do this from time to time?

Try shorter answers. Quality not quantity is probably the key.

I've just been reading about Toluna's new Social Rewards system. They seem to be confusing the idea of popularity with quality. If popularity equalled quality, the Sun would be the UK's highest quality newspaper as it has the largest circulation. While not mutually exclusive, I don't think they mean the same thing at all. What do you think?

I have to agree with you on this one.. the system at Toluna does reward polls or opinions with the most replies and if you actually look at the top scoring ones they do tend to be very simple ones.. but I think that is because the site is used by so many different types of people, people who browse, people who are in a rush, people for whom english is not a first language, etc and therefore the simple questions etc are often the most popular.
Some of the opinions on here are really good but in reality if they are thought provoking in any real way they tend are lucky if they get 10/20 replies.

To get points should you desire them it is best to go for both, the thought provoking ones and the simple easy to answer but topical ones.. points are not valid in my country so for me achieving them is purely for fun and some of the answers are very witty.
Good luck with the site.. and thanks for some of your answers already. sorry if this is a bit jumbled but dinner beckons. Inzil xx
