Update to WGT Surveys

InBrain surveys are replacing Peanut Lab surveys on the WGT website. The survey-taking experience will remain similar to what you’re used to, but just wanted you to know in case you noticed it looked a bit different. During this transition, surveys will be disabled on Android until the following WGT release.
