Hi,
I have 4 separate projects each with one questionnaire. This is because I have a lot of images and when I put all questions in one project/questionnaire, the survey bugs, items are not always loaded etc.
So, I'm linking these 4 questionnaires by redirect() which i put on the last page of the first three questionnaires.
For example, after the first questionnaire, im redirecting them to the next one using this php code:
redirect('https://www.soscisurvey.de/ramint1/', false);

However, when this happens sosci provides this notification:

This will greatly confuse participants. Can this be removed, or translated with changes of the text? Or is my php code not sufficient. (Note: they have randomly generated ID which they write at the beginning of each questionnaire so I don't need their IDs)

Thanks in advance.

the survey bugs, items are not always loaded etc.

If you have too many images on a single page, then some limiters may become active, showing only 50 images with few seconds. Otherwise, there are no known bugs that would match what you describe?!

So, I'm linking these 4 questionnaires by redirect() which i put on the last page of the first three questionnaires.

I strongly recommend not doing so. You will increase complexity and that may result in errors. You may also have issues matching the different data sets if you mess up adding unique IDs to the redirects.

However, when this happens sosci provides this notification:

This is only when you are logged in, while testing the questionnaire. You can only be logged in to one questionnaire at a time. If you would like to test your construction, please open a "private browser window" in your browser and copy the link there. You are not logged in in that window (unless you log in there), and therefore will not be logged out.

This will greatly confuse participants.

Participants won't see that, because they are not logged in.

Thanks.
When split into four projects, survey works, this was the only solution that I managed to successfully implement.
Participants have randomly generated IDs and they write them in "Text input" questions before the beginning of each questionnaire.

I recommend solving the isses that seem to occur in a single project.

Four times? Sounds like a likely source for errors. You may at least transfer this value from one interview to the next, using URL parameters (see https://www.soscisurvey.de/help/doku.php/en:survey:url) and a question "device and parameters")
