Thanks, it's working now.
mine starting crashing late yesterday afternoon. looks like it's been about 3 - 3.5 hours that the whole thing crashes. it's down right now only because i haven't had a chance to reload.

I'm wondering whether it's the dark mode theme causing problems. I'm going to turn off dark mode and see if that does any better.

I had to go digging to find this one again since i can't find it in HF after having to reload MTS but it's floating around. it put me over my daily goal. one recommendation: take the breaks it provides. i didn't. my ears are paying for it.

I prefer dark mode, 'cause it makes MTurk easier to read, but...it also darkens the surveys, which would be a nice thing, except some of the survey seems to be lost--like the bubbles! Might be a good way to get a rejection or ten. The thing started darkening all websites, too. It's literally started acting on it's own. I deleted and reloaded to no improvement, too. Still messed up PC and Forker. I've got them usable now--just. And I'm not bothering with Tracker any more. Can't use it. I didn't have these problems before I made the mistake of automatically trusting and clicking update. The thing needs to be re-issued as the old version--give those who prefer the older style a choice--or lose your followers. The new one is simply too expansive. I feel that much of it is for programmers to play with and not as a work tool. Work tools are supposed to be pared down and fast, not a constant fight for control.
Just my 4 cents worth, not that it matters................

definitely good thoughts. there are issues that i haven't seen but others are and there are issues i keep randomly running into but haven't necessarily been able to replicate but that I am keeping an eye on. all the issues is why i started the bug thread yesterday in order to have reports in one place instead of all over the daily threads.

we just need to keep reporting things there.

start here:

https://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/start-here-guides-for-getting-started.11/


A lot of advice there.
and here:
https://www.mturkcrowd.com/forums/userscripts-extensions-and-software.14/

as for "good pay" that depends on what your definition of "good pay" is. you will, for the most part, be dealing with surveys and tasks that range from a penny up to a dollar.the penny hits are great to get your numbers up but can be headaches and the requestors could be reject-happy. just make sure you're reading reviews when they're available. I haven't done a penny hit in probably 3 years but that's mainly because i only look for hits worth a nickel or more. the really high dollar hits ($10 or more) generally have qualifications that limit who can take them. you'll see those qualifications on the hits that we all tend to share here. if you meet the qualifications it becomes a matter of patience and luck. i think we've learned a great deal of patience here :D

another note: you'll see "ABQ" around here. It stands for "always be qual'ing" Watch for qualification posts from "mew." Take the qualification tests. Pass them. There are hits and batches of hits that come and go that are only accessible if you have the specific qualification that was designed for that particular task. They're "closed qual hits." Doesn't matter how many hits you've done, what your approval rate is, what quals you have, if you don't have their particular closed qualification you cannot do their hits for them. So, do the qual hits. Very much worth your while if you take them seriously and work to pass them.

This was fun. I took my time on it and worked on a batch and some other HIT's that had shorter timers so my time of 2 hours was likely closer to 1-1.5 hours. Hit approved and paid in about 2 hours. I enjoyed it! Had been tracking it for daaayyyyss.

Ok now I'm actually over my daily PE.. the last time I thought I was it was a weird calculation error on Reward Goal. $20.30 PE which will end up being $20.20 due to a pending rejection (my own fault but at least it's a dime and not more). There's a pretty good high school state championship game on tonight that i'm gonna be watching.
Southlake Carroll High versus Austin Westlake High -- best thing about this is the head coaches are father and son. Father taught at Southlake High before trying out college then going down to Austin, son is the HC at Southlake Carroll. First time it's happened in high school football championships at least in Texas. It oughtta be a great game. both schools are heavily recruited from by in and out of state programs.

update: nevermind. It's tomorrow night. d'oh! i'll watch mindless drivel tonight haha.

the point is the IRS is not accepting tax returns until Feb 12th so you can't just file right now and get it over with (well, maybe you can, it just won't be processed until feb 12th or later).

hope everyone filed their estimated taxes today. it's the deadline for the 4th quarter 2020 estimated taxes.
