Hi all, I need your help and suggestions. Turkmaster isn't loading on Firefox (52.something) at all. Not even the box. It was fine yesterday, Greasemonkey is running, etc. Nothing's changed except, no Turkmaster now. Does anyone have any ideas what happened and how I can fix this?

Thanks!

Yes, stop using Turkmaster. Really, it's kind of not good.

It wasn’t that bad. I just got a bonus.

You've received a bonus from Amy for work related to 3YLTXLH3DFGDNYLUKEK2KO9RO59HPF.
The value of your bonus is: $1.00 USD

The Requester included this note:
You earned this bonus because your accuracy is in the top 25% of individuals who have participated in the study.

Just...

It was tedious as hell. I wanted to toss it back after every completed page.

Won the lottery and bought out Chipotle is my theory.

Or is still grounded.

Wow, just found out that Appen announced a deal to acquire Leapforce today.

I work for Leapforce and I tried to work for Appen. I'm worried what them acquiring Leapforce is gonna mean for me. It was easy to get in with Leapforce, it was ridiculously hard to work for Appen. I didnt pass their test and I tried really hard.

oh come on, this was perfect! cause hes always posting the "K" gifs! oh wait, was he the one who always posted as a green rat?

I work for Leapforce and I tried to work for Appen. I'm worried what them acquiring Leapforce is gonna mean for me. It was easy to get in with Leapforce, it was ridiculously hard to work for Appen. I didnt pass their test and I tried really hard.

According to the announcement from Appen, it says:

"Earlier today, Appen announced a deal to acquire Leapforce. This is an exciting development in the work-from-home market. By joining forces with Leapforce, we envision even more opportunities for our contractors in the future.

As a valued member of our contractor community, we wanted to let you know that there will be no near-term impact from this announcement to your current project in terms of processes, tools and pay rates. Over time as our organizations become integrated, our goal will be to provide you with an improved work-from-home experience as we adopt the best practices from each company"

So, no near-term impact. Maybe this will improve Appen?
