[kryss]

Good morning all....can anyone help me figure out why I am not able to log into the crowd using Chrome... when I try to log in the scroll box (black) in the top right corner just sits and scroll forever....I am able to access the crowd using explorer...I have the same issue with firefox too

Do you have a script or extension on that could be messing with it?

Haven't got any in about 20 minutes since I went outside to plow snow, safe to say they are done, they have been dead around the 10:15 mark all week they used to (and hopefully will again) return to being dead around the 11 hour like they used to. A good tip for people who are counting on Z's who don't have masters is make sure you are fresh off a captcha if Z's are the first thing you are going to be doing. Accept and return junk until you hit your captcha then run your panda in Crazy or TM or whatever your flavor is. Having to stop your flow to clear a Cap is costing your panda valuable seconds and its breaking your work flow. Do some prep work, set yourself up for success not failure.

Not sure ...I have been running the same scripts and extension forever...this problem just happened after the second to last crowd maintenance was performed...not sure if I missed any information/enhancements on my end as I was off for a few days.

I only run 1 panda on PC and shut off my my scripts that aren't needed for zoltars. Run in panda and not pantha.

I've been consistently completing 90-130 Zoltars each day. My problem is that I cannot keep up with them... Sometimes the websites are loading slowly... But mostly I'm not moving fast enough though my queue. My internet speed itself isn't bad and my computer is good. I've tried doing my daily Zoltars from a University connection 500mbps up/500mbps down/1ms ping... and I still am just unable to keep up with Zoltars are they roll in.

Out of curiosity, I have a few questions about your thoughts/strategies for how you complete each Zoltar more quickly:
1. In regards to actually opening/loading the sites. I don't need to open most Job Search sites in order to fill out the information accurately. What % of the sites would you say you actually open before filling out the information?
2. I've seen some people describe that they will let their queue fill up, and then shut off their panda while they work their way through their queue. Do you do this? Does it actually help?
3. Besides shutting off most of the non-Zoltar scripts, is there anything else you'd suggest to speed up the work per website?

I tend to open each business page in a new tab/window, jump to the bottom of the page to copy the company name, check if there is 1 or more physical locations, and then I skim for whether the company offers Good/Service/Both and if they actually operate from their physical location... then I go back to the HIT and paste the company name, and fill out the rest of the info using the Zoltar script.

I would say websites like Legal Offices and Physicians take me about 4-6 seconds each to complete. But then other sites, like foreign multi-tasking digital marketing firms that may or may not have a physical location trip me up and slow me to 10-40 seconds to complete the HIT.

Just curious to see if I can get over this Zoltar plateau that I seem to be stuck at. Thanks!

yep yep agreed. i generally go accept a p9 and clear it there. i'm still at least 10 away from the next captcha anyways. generally don't get a whole lot of Zs because i'm doing these things while I'm working so my attention gets diverted at times. i'll let the pandas run another 30 minutes or so before i kill them.

Maybe they are done or something and just dont know how this works? idk

 

[lsutiger25]

I bet you're right, @Roscoe E Goldchain

 

[lil queen trashmouth]

Welp, done with Polar. Approved 2 and rejected one this morning for a totally bullshit reason, random blocks... naw I'm good fam

 

[Jaded]

I bet you're right, @Roscoe E Goldchain

The only other thing i can think of is if they just want different results so they were blocking everyone who had done work for them. If you (or anyone) emails them make sure you're polite they probably don't know blocks can be bad.

@Tyler Sharp Just mentioned on the PC thread that they got blocked as well.

I've done 37 total HITs for them, just one rejection (even though I check my logs to make sure they are the right amount). At the end of the day, it's 1 rejection in 37, I made 50 bucks out of it, if he wants to block I'm not mad, I sent him a nice email asking whaddup, so we'll see.
