08/15 - We'll miss ya Wednesday

[Jerami]

Well I don't intend to knock something I haven't tried. Someone obviously put a lot of time and effort into it. It's great that there's a variety of tools people can choose based on their preferences. But I also think it provides an opportunity for people to get in over their heads, as was mentioned in the thread earlier this morning I still think dedication and street-smarts will ultimately prevail, and I hope I'm not proven wrong

I agreed with this about TA 2 years ago. I don't know if anything has changed.

For some reason my pendings on MTS are trashed. The show my all time total earned, which is weird. I use tracker to track my daily stuff but it doesn't do my pending past a day. It might be conflicting with another script.

Probably. You sound like you have all the scripts. You can try exporting the data, then importing it back in. That usually straightens out Hit Tracker.

I don't know, I've never used PC but I asked the same question earlier and I was told that there isn't anything out there that accepts HITs based just on requester ID. That's what I was told because I asked. I still have to dig into PC all the way and I haven't done it because MTS is working well for me.

Perhaps I'm missing something, G-d knows I'm not the brightest bulb, but who said that? It's a well known feature.

Thank's for the heads up on that other script though

 

[AlexDroog]

Here's what it does.

Mostly. Those are the options anyway.

That's what I thought it too, but my pending money was off a little bit on my dashboard so I emailed the developer and he sent me instructions on fixing it. TA turn your browser's address bar into some sort of command line for a utility called Omni Box. It does some out of the world stuff. Like I said I haven't even got into the half of it yet. I'm so busy doing the HITs I don't get a chance to slow down and take a deep look at the tools I use.

 

[Leatherass]

I also used to use it back when it was turk assist or something like that. I stopped because there were some questions about why the author obfuscated all the code.

If that is the case, No thank you

noted, thank you.

That is the case.

I forget. I was talking to Devil Dawg about it and someone chimed in and said " Thank God there's no publically available script for auto accepting based on requester. We'd all be screwed" or something to that effect.

i think they were talking about auto accepting everything. . . maybe

It's also possible you misunderstood someone's snark, because we don't get any of that around here

 

[AlexDroog]

when i used to use it (assuming it works like it did back then) it would act weird with a bunch of different scripts. That is another reason i stopped using it.

yeah I should just turn off tampermonkey. I don't even know what's running in there anymore.

definitely turn off any unused scripts, they can really jack up your pre's.

 

[AlexDroog]

no, I'm pretty sure that wasn't it. That would be silly. I could see some asshole trying to develop a script like that. Something Pinky and the Brain would conjure up.

I've got dashboard enhancer, MTurk HIT database MkII, and Preview accept and hoard. I don't think any of them are doing me any good.

Maybe they were misinformed or they were being sarcastic. Like someone else said, auto accept by req is one of the main features.

yea shut those all off if you are using TA

 

[AlexDroog]

yea shut those all off if you are using TA

I did

 

[ecko]

I did

did it fix the issue?

 

[AlexDroog]

Alright, good night guys. You rock! Thanks for all the help. I learn something every day in here. Some days, like today, I learn 20 somethings.

 

[AlexDroog]

did it fix the issue?

I can't really tell. My pending in dashboard look about right. Pendings in HIT Tracker are as messed as they've always been.
