So, got confirmation of a headband that I ordered, for review(free), from eBags cause my hair is getting in my face and I'm not ready to cut it yet. It's got a hidden pocket in it, which I thought was cool. I never would have spent $12 of my own money on a headband. Not while the dollar store is still a thing.:D

Anyway, excited for free presents.
I couldn't get that Prolific survey to work...(If it's the one I'm thinking of) It came up with nothing in my searches at all even when I adjusted the settings for the well known marketplace I was told to use. I emailed, then returned the survey after a while so someone else could have a chance at it. That's awesome that you got free stuff!

A couple big things that help me a lot:
The MTurk Multibind LLL Fork allows you to answer nearly any multiple-choice HITs with your number keys. This one differs from the Kadauchi's MTurk Radio Keybinds script in that it works for HITs with multiple questions, having options to move on to the next automatically, and being able to do it manually with tab. This one script alone probably helps more than anything else besides MTurkSuite; not having to slowly click bubbles speeds things up a LOT.

Good post. :)
Just want to add one thing, for anyone new, who doesn't use a keybind script, for whatever reason, but also hates having to "slowly click bubbles".
On longer studies, I don't click very much. I use 'Tab' and arrow keys to complete most bubble studies. If you tab, it will jump to the first of the multichoice bubbles on the next question. Hit 'Space' to "click" that bubble. Hit down arrow to choose option 2-5(however they're labelled, and 5 is not a limit, just a random number I picked.)
Then, once I've done the last question on a page, 'Tab' gets me to the "Next(:rolleyes:) button. Space activates it. Rinse. Repeat.

Doesn't work with all studies but, most.:)

Just a general tip, with MeasuringU studies; they expect A LOT of things to go wrong and they expect that some people will not be able to complete the tasks. That's okay, as they are trying to find the problems. I continue with the study. They will ask if you were able to complete the tasks and, if not, why. But, they've ALWAYS paid me. They also are usually pretty responsive to emails. But, they are definitely fair and will not reject a completed HIT when they can see that an honest attempt was made.

But, that's just my experience. You may have had different experiences with them.:)

That's good to know for the future. Darn... I just felt wrong trying to finish all the rest of the things based on something I hadn't done at all because I couldn't. :( I was very sleepy, too, and needed a NAP! :D

This time I was not able to complete the task. It auto-approved instantly. I was able to go back later and do the marketplace bit but, not during the study or before being paid.

The last one I did, I didn't even get a chance to attempt the task due to a crashing app. Still paid, with an explanation.

They aren't studies like some are, where they are trying to judge reactions. They are really just play-test/user-test HITs. They want to hear all of the problems so that they can be fixed before whatever they are testing goes live. Anyway, now you know for next time.:)

You must have because they only allow qualified workers on PA and mostly the same on Mturk.
