Has anyone heard back about the "Availability for Social Network Study" HIT follow-up email?

Do you have it set to PANDA or PANTHA? Also, what other scripts do you have running?

Panda (I asked about pantha, someone said it's only good for throttled batches). Also, just using a custom AHK script to click the link, find the contact button, and to copy whatever i have highlighted and paste it into the site name box. Oh and PC for these hits.

 

[The Bad Ash]

780 PRE's

That seems to be the culprit . If you're doing Z's don't run any other PandA's. The min time for PC seems to be around 900ms so don't set it lower than that. And it's doesn't work against us to help you catch more. Most these guys cap even on a shitty day. Not me . But I do alright.

It doesn't seem to make a difference with Zoltars. (as far as i've noticed)

So I know this might be against your guys' best interests, but how can I catch more Z's? My PC says it missed 251 z's. I tried switching to 2000ms cycle 'cause I had 780 PRE's, but it seemed like the flow of zoltars stopped, so I had to switch back.

Don't worry about the PRE numbers as long as you are not running any scripts at the same time. Keep it on timer 1, 970ms. Click on the GoHam button until it turns blue. Go into the details and change Ham Timer (seconds) to 10 and change the action mode to pantha. When the script goes into ham mode it will cause pre's so that's expected but it will go back to normal after 10 seconds of not grabbing any hits. If you are running other scripts than you need to change the timer but in my opinion you need to decide what is more important to you: more Zotar's or hoping a great hit pops up. Using pantha works nicely for throttled hits which zoltar's are throttled. Hope that helps.

I'm at almost 8000 checks. Simple math problem it seems like to me. Leave it running longer and on shorter cycles maybe?

I typically let it do it's own thing, and that was the only panda I had running, nothing else.

I notice a difference later in the batch, but that might just be me.

Actually it seems it was already pantha... Also,I had it in delayed ham, but switched to regular ham since it was the only thing running, and it was set for 15 seconds, so I changed it to 10 now.

@Matilda Jones Took about 7 minutes

Thanks! Would have been quicker but for that timer ...

I was going to paint everything orange, @TQueen. It was going to be a project to take my mind off the empty void I call a life. Thanks for ruining that.

why is it that i objectively hate 30 cent surveys a lot more than 25 cent ones?

That tagline was not unforgettable.

It was running by itself, non-stop, since 5 minutes before they hit.
