As every household has to fill in one of these things by tomorrow night, I thought I would beat beat the inevitable web site crashes that will accompany Sunday night efforts, and filled it in last night. I used a laptop to do it while my wife watched a gardening program with no major issues except having to scroll down furiously on nearly every page. I’ll be interested to hear the experience of those who use their smart phones to fill it in, as I think it may be frustrating.
They have taken away the usual facility for me to poke two fingers by putting Jedi as my religion, but I did notice that the new politically correct section on sex, allows one to check the ‘Other’ box and write in what that means. I wonder how many will write ‘Rampant’ or ‘Frustrated’ in that space!

No issues for me on my Chromebook.
March 20, 2021 at 10:31 am #68048I didn’t get the letter with my code so I went to the census website and they sent me a new code via a text message, i’m not sure how secure that is because they just sent the text to the number I gave them.
I filled out the form on my phone too and it wasn’t difficult because they have a mobile version of their website.
March 20, 2021 at 12:19 pm #68051Did it today online of course. A very good website, with clear, easy to understand instructions and data boxes. My dyslexic son was worried by the form, but found the online version easy. He texted “Dunit thanks” in response to offers of help.

March 21, 2021 at 3:15 pm #68055I guess I found myself scrolling a lot as the form is not set up to handle pages that are much less than 1024 pixels in height.
