 * I have a survey that has been working flawlessly. After the upgrade, when anyone
   tries to take the survey, they get this response:
    “There was an error. The error
   status code is: 400 The error message is: Bad Request”
 * I tried to clone the survey but got the same results.
 * Thoughts?

   has the survey.

 * Hi there,
 * Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. I just tried to replicate this
   problem on my testing site with no luck. I may need to dig a little deeper. Can
   you reach out to me through one of the contact methods that should be pretty 
   obvious in the plugin, i.e. visit my site and fill out the contact form on the
   front page?
 * Thanks,

 * Hi there,
 * I get the same error message when someone tries to fill out the survey. Nothing
   changed but updating the awesome survey plugin.

 * I’m also getting “There was an error. The error status code is: 400 The error
   message is: Bad Request”.
 * What to do?
 * Here’s the page with the survey on it:

 * Same issue here. And older survey that first worked fine, doesn’t work anymore
   either (same message).First one is the old one, second one was created today.

 * Is there a possibility to go back to the previous version of the plug in until
   this is solved? Maybe the author can post the pre-update version somewhere or
   temporarily offer a 1.6.2 update that is a copy of the last working version? 
   Thanks!

 * Sorry about that – version 1.6.2 was just released and should get this fixed 
   up for all of you.
 * HennyNL thanks for providing me your sample data so I could figure out what was
   causing this. You’re awesome!
