For me, I've done plenty of Inquisit hits (it's a thing ya have to download to do the hit) - but about half the time, it freezes my computer completely. I have to do the 3 finger salute to shut down. Then I have to restart everything, and it's a time waster and annoyance. Last time I did an Inquisit hit, I ended up having to take my laptop to a repair shop because I couldn't get it to restart. Other people have had bad experiences, some don't. I just think it's not worth it.
Oh Phew yeah I thought their was some sort of security risk or something I hadn't heard about.

More often than not they are underpaid.
Labs spend all their grant money buying the Inquisit software license and then can only afford to pay us 6/hr.

If you have the HIT in your queue still try refreshing the HIT page, not the survey itself, and it's possible the submit button will show up.
These types of experiments are wonky like that.

Tried that, it's just a page that has a "Begin experiment" button that opens the experiment in a new window. I refresh it, I just get the same page. I click the button again and it starts the damn thing over.

I kid you not I did a survey and contacted the requester because it was waaaay too low. They said that they thought the going rate for work was 1.00 per 10 mins. I told him, yeah, like 5 years ago maybe and that's not for 6000 bubbles.

I swear sometimes folks can be so out of touch.

Mine did work. Took 31:20.
I did it with scripts turned off in Firefox (just to be safe) and did have to click enter to get past the final screen before the HIT window updated.
