Mturk Suite Thread

[Fanugi]

Has anyone had an issue where, although a HIT shows as completed in Tracker, the check mark does not appear and it does not show as completed in the Queue? I initially thought it was a slight formatting issue (an extra space or period perhaps) in the HIT title...but then noticed that they would show consistently between the Queue and the Tracker on my laptop (looking at the same HIT at the same time on both computers). I even exported the DB from my laptop and imported it into MTS on my desktop but the problem remains. Do you think this could be a MTS setting or maybe removing the MTS extension and then reinstalling and importing my DB would resolve the issue? Any insight appreciated as I rely on my Queue (and it showing work as completed or not) quite heavily.

It has to be said that I love MTS and really appreciate it so this is not a complaint! Just trying to resolve this issue!

When I hover over the square, the box pops up. But if I move the mouse over to click on one of the links, like to TO or whatever, the box disappears. I found that if I click on the colored square, the box stays up. But when I click it, the window scrolls itself back to the top. (guessing that is a stock mturk 'feature')

I'm having this same issue. When you click and the window scrolls up, a # is added to the end of the URL. Not sure if that's relevant, but I noticed it happening.

The jumping is new right? The having to click was already on the radar, I too hate how it works. I'm back to turking in 2 days so I'll actually be using MTS for real the first time this year and catch more of these type of pain points.

So I was playing around with different ways of fixing this jump to top 'feature' that mturk included in the search results page for us. I think I came up with a one-liner that stops the jump to top, without breaking anything else. Should be a decent bandaid until a fix can be incorporated into MTS. Let me know if it breaks anything that I failed to notice.

@Kadauchi, it seems like everyone who has upgraded to 2.2 today cannot export HITs. We're getting the "HIT Export Failed" popup box when trying to share HITs to the forum from HIT Finder and directly from the MTurk page.

Also, when clicking on the black arrow on HIT Finder to get the HIT share box to pop up, I cannot copy the BBcode. When I click on the BBcode button, nothing happens at all.

I just tried the other buttons (plain, short, markdown) and those don't appear to be working either.

All my logged stuff on Hit Catcher disappeared

It seems to me possible that something broke in one of the recent updates, but I'm not sure. Here is the situation: suppose I try to catch a hit via Hit Finder, but the hit is no longer there. So some buttons pop up on the mturk page and I hit ONCE. It used to be the case that if the hit was already listed in Hit Catcher, but turned off, then hitting ONCE would turn it back on. But now, repeatedly, this seems not to happen at all.

Of course, this could be because the hit IDs are not really the same. But it seems that in the not so distant past, I would often be reactivating hits in Hit Catcher, sometimes even without knowing it. Now it seems to never happen, even when I want it to.

When I type anything into the address bar that starts with "mturk" it just disappears and goes nowhere when I hit enter. This must be due to the "automatic searching of mturk" feature, I am sure. But I can't seem to find any way to turn this feature off.

This is in firefox. In chrome it at least does a search on mturk, even though I was trying to search google.

I think you're using the old site. Type it in here in "Search All Hits.":

I don't think there is a way to turn off the "search MTurk" omnibar search feature you're talking about. Maybe something for the wish list for @Kadauchi.

Yeah. A toggle would be cool, and I think would make a lot of sense. But for now, I just have to remember to not let mturk be the first word when I am trying to google something about mturk. Which can sometimes be tough, because my brain is used to coming up with search terms that way, like with the broad topic term first and then getting more specific.

Updates have changed how they are handled, Either apply the update from the notification or it will apply on the next time the browser is restarted.

You know what, I'll add in that update button to the options page, the rendering issue was only because of the popup.

Finder; (1.) Is there a way to add custom sound? I'm sensitive to sounds and have a preferred sound.
(2.) I'm using FF56.0.2 because I want to continue using some of my favorite ext. Finder alert an included HIT was found then stop if push notifications was selected for that HIT. I have notifications allowed to run and even doesn't work on a clean install of FF56

There is not, kinda on my list, but its super far down. I just suggest for people to use their own custom build of MTS for things like this until it makes it into MTS. It is intended to have a delay between announcements if you are talking about this?

I can't support anything before Mozilla made the complete switch to Web Extensions (v57 / Quantum), for the reason that you want to stay on 56 and use the old extensions, things changed. MTS is my playground/learning environment for new Javascript, so being up to date is gonna be required. So could be my bug, could be a conflict with FF56, but I don't have time to test.

Custom build?

 

[Kadauchi]

Custom build?

https://github.com/Kadauchi/mturk-suite, you can edit and build your own version of MTS from the source code.

Chrome--I still don't have sound for EVERY hit that goes into the queue.. Maybe 2/3 of them. I'm willing to take any sound you offer, doesn't have to be the voice.

I really wish there was an option to block out requesters with no TO ratings. I've been getting a lot of recent requesters with no TO ratings that have 100% rejection rates that rejects everyone for no reasons. Now I have to return every HIT with requesters with no TO ratings just in case.
