Just popped up for me now, then my computer says it has some updates for me. So it must of been a memory thing

I think somebody (Jaded?) posted this previously. This was added to the requester side to control who can see things. So if you're not seeing hits others say are there you may not be crazy.

I think @aveline posted it, but I tested it (she probably did too, idk) I couldn't see the hits I posted because I don't have my own qualification, but others that did have the qualification could see it. Some master's hits the other day were hidden to non-mastery people as well.

Well hello there, enjoy your stay. Complimentary marshmallows are in a bowl in the back next to the bowl of probably-not-spiked punch.

I didn't know this! So that explains why we were both thinking the other one was crazy last week! Lol I hope that fabulous mistake happens again... I'm ready for it now!

I don't know whether to be unhappy I keep getting booted from the Yale game before I can play or happy I get to sit here and get paid a dollar to stare into space while the timer ticks down.

That Hub Pages qualification test was frustrating. After each one it gave me feedback. The first 12 said, "Great Job! You will probably pass the test". Then The next 3, "To be honest, you probably won't pass".
At least I earned $2 doing the test

2nd Edit:
Just received this.

You've received a bonus from HubPages for work related to 3I6NF2WGIGWPNQ72W471QY3QE685GZ.
The value of your bonus is: $0.25 USD

The Requester included this note:
This is a bonus for completing the HubPages screening test. Thanks for trying our HITs. Unfortunately, your rating style is a bit different from what we are looking for, so you won't be able to complete our regular rating HITs. (Most people do not pass our screening test.) However, we will probably be introducing new types of HITs in the future, and we invite you to work on those after we create them. Have a great day!

Hey Squatty,

That would be hard to say. I took many breaks in between each one. Also the articles varied in length. Some were 5 minutes to read others just took 30 seconds. I am a fast reader though.
If I had to give an estimate. I would say 20-35 minutes.

Good morning, Crowd!

 

[CheshireChibi]

I passed Hubpages on the first go. Weird. They're wonky though. I don't like their accuracy system. One article can take you from bomb ass bonuses and 97% to nothing bonuses and 67%. It's malarkey. But if it's slow and I feel like reading, it's better than nothing.

 

[Krikket]

Omg! Eff this computer and it's effed up clock!
