Do a lot of you guys use PC and HC the same time. I like PC cause I'm so used to it but HC is nice because it has the panda button when you click a hit you missed. So you don't have to copy past from HF to PC and add a job. I'm just worried using both will slow down their effectiveness.

If it's not driving your page errors up too much I don't see a problem.

Correct, using both will slow you down as you'll get endless PREs.

Really it depends on which scraper you are usings. If you are using HIT Finder, use HC. If you are using HIT Forker then use PC. Both of them have one button panda adds.

Thanks I use HF. I haven't messed with HC too much but can you make a requester search on their for like C-stats for example so it tries to catch all the different HITS when they post. Never had luck on that with PC anyways usually get like 3

when you do a requester search with PC, it will only search for the first three groupIDs that it finds for that requester.
after it has "seen" three different csat hits, it will not catch a fourth, different groupID

Ummm, no. I caught 9 different C-Stats yesterday within 5 minutes. I think the max I've seen is 100+.

maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but I swear I remember Johnnyrs @Johnnyrs saying that if the outside boundaries are NOT red, it will collect and search for up to three different group IDs. if it's red, it will only look for the same groupID that's last saved in its details

http://pandacrazy.allbyjohn.com/help/jobs/edit-advanced-details/action-mode

The search mode will use a search url on the requester ID to find any hits. If you change to the search mode you must have a Requester ID filled in or it won't let you save it. The script can't figure out requester ID's by a panda because usually mturk doesn't display that info on a hit. When the job is in Search Mode it will do a search and try to panda the top three highest paid hits it finds.

I read all his info about pc on his site and it was hard for me to understand it all. This was months ago maybe I'll give it another read.

I think what you're thinking of is when there are multiple HITs from a requester available it will grab the three highest paying HITs. However, with say C-Stats, it will log each GroupID it comes across and search for an avaialble HIT. So say you've found 12 GroupIDs, it's going to start at the top and if the first one is available, it grabs a HIT, if the second GroupID is available it will grab the HIT, if the third GroupID is available it will grab the HIT and go back to the first HIT to start again. If, however, two and three are not available, it will seach the fourth GroupID on the list, then the fifth (if both are grabbed it goes back to the first HIT again).

Honestly, no idea, I stay away from $6 hr batches. Not worth the time.
They are worth the time investment if nothing else is up, you're new and need to build numbers and/or are using a script to make them worth more than $6/hr *grins*
