Hi, I don't think I'm breaking any rules? It's clearly not advertising, the link leads to a SurveyMonkey page. There's nothing to sell, just looking for some quality feedback from people who know about weddings than I do :) Cheers!
EDIT PLEASE SEE THE RULE THREAD AND YOU SEE THIS IS A NO LINK FORUM AS WELL AS NO ADVERTISING FOR THIS REASON YOUR POST HAS BEEN DELETED THANNKS MODERATORS

It doesn't matter if your selling or not, there are no links allowed on the forum...
Advertising of a business, product or supplier is not permitted on the UKbride forum. Only brides to be may make use of the forum with the only exception being UKbride experts. These are experts in their fields who are there to offer impartial advice to forum users. These suppliers can be identified by a badge on the forum that says “UKbride Expert”. These carefully selected experts are entitled to use real world examples drawn from their own experience to answer questions, but not to blatantly advertise their own business. For example: "We at XYZ photography generally find that most brides spend upwards to £1000 on their photography - this would be a realistic figure to put into your budget. " UKBRIDE members advertising their own business by offering FREE services is also frowned upon, if you wish to offer something for free (that you no longer need or want) by all means do so but no advertising your business while doing so and leave information on YOUR wall for others to see NOT in the forum! NO links of any kind are to be posted in the forum, if you want to share something you've found, then please by all means let people know in the forum but post the link to the profile wall of those who would like to look or on your own. This is because we had people questioning why we could post some links but not others. To stop the confusion we at UKBRIDE decided ALL links would be banned in the forum.
All advertising and links will be DELETED by the moderators!
Advertising on the forum or blatant advertising on members walls or through pm is also not tolerated. This includes promoting friends/relatives businesses. Tell the person asking that you know someone then post on their wall NOT on the forum.
No names of other sites/companies/shops that do the things UKBride does will not be permitted, IE if you find another site that has the same wedding tools that we do then you may post to member's walls IF asked but do not name in the forum. Well known sites like facebook and ebay can be used in conversation but NO links to them may be used (most people use nicknames for these like bay of e and face ache, which is fine if you wish to do this if unsure). Also people RECRUITING to other site's is not tolerated and your account MAY be suspended or even deleted.
NO emails are allowed in the forum. This is for your safety as well as our clients and other members.
Due to an increase of "VOTE FOR ME..." topics, it has been decided at UKBride that these topics should be banned from the forums. This is because UKBride runs monthly and annual competitions and these threads are advertising companies that are UKBride's competitors. In aid of fairness ALL non-UKBride competition/fundraising threads will be deleted, even if they are not wedding related competitions. The advertising rule does not just include businesses, this rule is extended to our members too and we would like to remind members to refrain from posting links on the forum. If you find that someone would like a link for, say, a tiara you have found please post it to their walls.
If you are a member but looking to get into the wedding trade, again we ask you not to mention it on the forum. And to also avoid contacting members at random through; spamming on their walls, sending private messages or chat messages unless this information is asked for in advance by a member. This includes but is not limited to the following examples:
- Giving links within the forum, be it for your own business or something you've found. - repeatedly mentioning phrases such as "I'm starting up my own cake company"/"I sell artificial flowers on ebay". As this is seen as an attempt to "drum up business" - Sending messages through chat/PM/on walls of multiple people (it is ok to do this if you have seen a post such as "do you know where i can get cheap custom shoes?" you can post on their wall "i make custom shoes... etc etc"
