Used IE. Errored out near the end (same thing happened when I did one of these awhile back)
Ah, that sucks. You clicked retry right? I just remember the instructions saying do that for errors at the end (vs refresh as you'll lose your data).

Stay away from r/mturk and r/hwtf. Those subreddits are like cancer. They have a mindset that people can't make more than $30 a day without scamming requesters. We have a good bunch here though.
hwtf ocasionally have hits and batches that arent posted here or in the other forum though. the most useless resource is the facebook mturk group though
Let's please be respectful of other MTurk forums/sites, even if you personally don't like them.

I don't have an option of giving up, my life situation isn't really grand so this is basically it for me. I gotta get good.
Take it from someone who's been turking since 2008. There are good days, there are awesome days, there are bad days and there are days where you'd rather jump off a building than turk. It's a roller coaster at times but it will get better the more you keep at it. :thumbup:

in my first week of mturk, I was averaging about $35 a day, made a post asking for help on r/hwtf got called a scammer and told "have fun with a blocked account" and flagged in the subreddit, kinda funny, but they did help me quite a bit when i was starting out.

I cannot stress this enough. I saw a thread title in r/mturk the other day that said "Can I realistically make 80.00 a month on mturk?"

Being Reddit, you're lucky you got away with just that and not an entire discussion on the benefits of eugenics.
