They announced it in October. http://www.mturkcrowd.com/threads/updates-to-the-worker-experience-a-refreshed-dashboard-a-new-experience-for-new-workers.2730/

I see how to make a panda if the hit is available, but how are you all making a panda or getting a group id when the hit is gone?

Run Hit Finder so it logs all the hits and then the link is always there on the amount of the hit.

mturk posted on a blog because this is actually 2006.

You should put this at the top where we usually have Polls.

Maybe they'll switch to doing vlogs in 2025.

We have a banner for it, which is available on every page of this forum, not just this post like a poll.

yes, exactly. the url changes from the panda to the url of the list of available hits on mturk.

I tried this on the ended or ending 5's batch after using a new mturk style panda. there was no effect, no change to the url or anything on the screen. someone will have to write a script or browser extension that instead of refreshing the page, redirects the url back to the panda. for everybody who uses scripts or extensions to panda aka smart people, I doubt this applies to you.

ITs throttling most likely What i do is bookmark the accept button link for the hits and just click that every time. you can make a hotkey to click it everytime. Or use the Hit reloader there is a green button up top iirc that you have to click for it to keep reloading.

If you have a link you can copy and paste the group ID from it and make the panda manually, which is a pain in the butt.

Otherwise, we're not.

alright, i wasn't sure if it was working or not.

But when I click on the hit on HF it takes me to worker and I see no Id to grab from there.

Right click on the amount and select "copy link address". If you use PC, paste the whole thing into the "add hit" window and it will then start searching.

In HF, right click on the "accept" link and copy the URL.

When I right click it opens it in a new window and I don't have a chance to grab the ID because it changes so fast. I dont get the option to copy anything before it switches.

Does anyone know which scrapper is closest to HIT Finder Beta stand alone... I'm looking specifically for TO check, logged HITs, and maybe hopefully database check.

usually with the addons that open with right click you need to hold shift while you click or just hold the rbutton for a sec longer than normal.
