If anyone has the Tanner qual for titling things: Don't do "close up" or "aerial view" or "view of"

Check the description of the title hits, it has more info on the instructions. Also proofreading is a good thing.*

edit: Can't wait for someone to make a joke off of that. pre eyeroll :eyeroll:
this reminds me of hotel photos where some people fucking idiots don't understand the word 'view' or 'kiosk'

why does Panda crazy been acting crazy off late. The elapsed time keeps increasing over thousands even with only 1 or 2 pandas running. Not able to catch csats for the past few days. Am I missing any setting?
There are a few reasons this will happen. First reason and usually people forget about this is make sure you are running Panda Crazy in it's own window with no other tabs. If the script runs in a tab that is not focussed the browser will limit it to a second for it's timers but PC uses ms timers to make sure it's as fast as possible.

Second reason is running other scripts. hitfinder, hitscrapper and queue order scripts could cause pre's if their timers are low. Some of these scripts can be run on the new site: worker.mturk.com and it won't interfere with the pre's on the old site. Use the queue helper script for Panda Crazy rather than the other queue order script so it won't have to check your mturk queue after every hit you complete.

A good test to make sure the timers are right is turn off all scripts except Panda Crazy. Run it for a few minutes and make sure pre's don't add up. It should stay at or close to 0 pre's. Once you prove that things are fine then you can test your other scripts with it and find the right timers that will give you the least amount of pre's.

Once you find the exact timer you can set the timer 2 or timer 3 to it and push the stop auto slowdown. I've been stopping the auto slowdown every day now and just accept the few pre's I get while I work. If you get too many pre's while you're working then have to change those timers or turn off a script that you might not need. Might not need hitfinder to run when you have a full queue. But if you can get those other scripts to run on the new site I think it would help out the most.

hey since you are here...I had a quick question, will you be updating this to work with the new website eventually?
Just curious. (And appreciate all of the work you do on this!! I'd be much poorer without it I'm very sure)

Hmmm.... I don't like these. Too many options to mark and too much thinking involved for 5 cents.
