 * I am not able to begin building a survey due to this error:
    “Error: The pfbc
   project requires an active session to function properly. Simply add session_start()
   to your script before any output has been sent to the browser.”
 * Can you direct me as to where to add this?

 * Hi there,
    Thanks for the feedback. I am sorry to hear that you are having troubles
   with the Awesome Surveys plugin.
 * The error that you are seeing is quite odd, as the plugin should be starting 
   a session. I suppose that it is possible that something else may be destroying
   that session. Can you tell me what plugins are currently active? What can you
   tell me about the hosting environment?

 * There’s just no way I can go through all of those to try and figure out why the
   session no longer exists.
 * I am currently working on an update to Awesome Surveys, and I was thinking of
   editing the pfbc part of this plugin anyhow and stripping out a bunch of things
   that aren’t really needed.
 * Keep an eye out for an update sometime this week (I hope) that should take care
   of this problem for you.
