If you hover over that small line of blue text in brackets in the right hand corner of the hit box on PC it shows you how to copy the panda for the hit.

Learn something new every day. Awesome.

Yeah, I think it's video card/flash related somehow. Might be memory allocation in Windows 7 as well. I let Windows determine that but might need to tweak that. Have 8 GB ram so not sure it's that either.

the one time i had this problem my solution was to just reinstall, i didn't have time for troubleshooting and i had backups.

I don't understand who these survey designers are who think we all want to win physical prizes they will mail us later. Just give me some more $$.

I had one last year that wanted to sell me the "prize" at a discount.
$30 GPS tracker for $10.
Wasn't some scammers either, was a study ran by a university.

There was also one last year that sent a bunch of us cheap fake bootleg Apple Watches.
They don't even have wifi lol.

Yeah I was hoping for another game for the franchise instead of just a remake. Never played d1 or 2 though so I guess it will still be new to me.

D2 was awesome but I'm saying that through nostalgia. Compared to d3 it is super slow paced and if you make the slightest mistake it will be a bit of work to respec. Definitely fun still and you're kinda free to make whatever you want. There's not a meta so to speak.

Vote for @MerryLou.

That's supposed to be an M there.

So A9 people sent me a rejection on a PENNY hit saying I did not complete the hit when all hits were completed. That's messed up to mess with people's ratings when you are literally paying one cent.

That's what I told the design agency that I paid $300k in campaign funds. They said millennials aren't into perfection, but they're into rugs big time.

@Janthir did you ever get the problem with the site straightened out?

Yeah I sent an email to Amazon and they emailed me back the same day saying they reset my password. I did that like 10 times before emailing though. Don't know what changed.

Does anyone happen to have an Excel spreadsheet template (for tracking income)? I checked out the resource forum and didn't see anything listed and the one I found via reddit is 4yrs old (and link is defunct). MS Excel or Open Office ... I would humbly accept either. Thanks
