Is it just me or do those "coversationalists" HITs never load?? so frustrating.
Not sure exactly which ones you're talking about but some HITs sit on the marketplace broken for up to and over a year.
Lazy requesters who don't want to clean up their mess.

Looking at you Noah, Pinterest.

YEP. That's exactly who I'm talking about. Those Noah HITs. Also the hieroglyphic ones never load either.

Check the creation dates on them. If they are like from several months to a year ago, they are probably broken. There are a few requesters that will just let their busted HITs sit until they expire. Frustrating, but part of turking is getting excited about finding work and then realizing you can't do it.

Amen. Especially because I'm still in the probation period. I can't do anything but trash work right now and then to have some of the few I'm qualified for be broken? How disappointing lol

Noah regularly puts out work (that may or may not be broken) and actually pays halfway decent if you are just starting out. Put him on a watcher so when he posts new stuff you can try to grab it.

I think this is Day 4. Yeah I figured it will get better after I hit X amount of HITs and so forth. I studied up on it a little before applying. I'd like to eventually make enough off it to justify it being my only job. Good luck with your probation! :) We'll get through soon enough.

Out of curiosity, I think maybe somethings don't work because of my browser. I use Firefox. Is Chrome better suited for turking??

There are certain HITs that requesters make work on chrome only, but they will usually state that in the HIT window before you start on the HIT. As far as I know everything is the same. I used to use Firefox, but switched over to Chrome while some turking tools were being developed that were only available on Chrome. I just never really switched back to Firefox.

I have turking tools on here now (saw where they used to only work on Chrome) but it just seems like some of the tasks won't load.

Like the hieroglyphics task that gets posted everyday. I've tried multiple times but the boxes of text won't load. There have also been a few others but that is the main one I can think of right now
