I got an opportunity few women have-campaign manager/chief strategist for a citywide campaign here in NYC. He screwed up his last campaign and now is terrified of doing something wrong, and is obsessively going over every detail with the state. He should have paid me the signing payment on 1/25.
Because of him I might get evicted. And to my shock, the guy I've known since May, but been seeing since mid-December just suggested I move in.

Question for those who use HF. If I set the minimum reward, how come I get no results, but when I set it to .50, I can see plenty of HITs? I should see the .50 HITs when it is set to minimum of 0.01, correct?

Screenshots of my HF page with 0.50 minimum reward, versus with 0.01 reward. It's acting as if it only searches for 0.01 up to something less than 0.50, as I would think 0.50 cent HITs would show up when the settings are minimum 0.01 I displayed the settings windows after selecting 'Find hits' so that the settings would be visible in the screenshots as well.

Edit* if I have it set below 0.45, I get no HITs, or just one once in a great while, but nothing above 0.45 will show up at all. As soon as I set it to 0.45 and up, I get what appears to be anything over 0.45 (no limit, ie, $0.45, $2.00, $20, $50, etc,)

Anyone else like to take a shower at the end of the turking day, to wash the stench of surveys away?

Granted, it's mostly sitting in the shower holding your knees, sobbing, and rocking back and forth but still, feels refreshing.

I have tried that, as that seemed like the most ideal setting...but, if I set the minimum to anything below 0.45, I only get HITs between 0.00 and 0.45.

I just tried to confirm, by deleting the text in the minimum field, and by putting in 0.00 in the minimum field. Either way, HF only returned HITs less than 0.45. As soon as I set the minimum to 0.45 or above, I get HITs paying anything above 0.45

does anyone drink a pint of moonshine and eat a magic mushroom after taking surveys to get over the depression and forget about all the things you've screwed up in your life that you just revealed for $1.00 and 1 in 2.5 million chance at a $20 Amazon gift card? and not wake up until 2pm most days?

Those are both showing the newest 25 HITs posted. I would imagine that when you go down to a penny there are so many penny HITs being posted all the time that they drown out the rest of the HITs, if that makes any sense. What happens if you change it to 50 instead of 25?

Still, am I correct that if a $1.00 HIT is displayed when I have the minimum reward set to 0.50, that a $1.00 HIT would also be displayed when I have the minimum reward set to nothing, or 0.01 for instance? It is a minimum reward setting, not maximum. Here's a video showing what's happening. I will try changing the the setting you suggest though.

Edit* turkenator @turkenator I changed the page size setting from 25 to 50, assuming that's what you're referring to. I still only get HITs below 0.45 when I have the minimum setting blank/below 0.45

Yeah it should be. And probably would be if the timing for when the HIT is posted and when HF scans was just perfect.

But I am guessing that there are so many jon breligs, 411richmonds, p9rs, and whatever other penny HITs being posted so frequently that they just push other HITs down the "newest" list very quickly.

I've left HF on with the minimum left blank, or at 0.00 / 0.01 for hours though, and the log shows nothing but HITs below 0.45 That makes no sense to me.

I just feel like there should be a way to let HF find all HITs, no minimum, no maximum. That is impossible for me though, and is the biggest reason that I struggle to love HF. It is great, but I want to see all HITs available per my spec (rating 3.0 above usually, non masters, I'm qualified for, and no minimum or maximum reward.) Right now, I have to choose between two reward ranges it seems, option A - 0.00 - 0.45 option b 0.45 - anything above.
