Sorry for poking holes in your plan, but I don't know about blackmailing a bunch of people that take 40 cent surveys for a living.

i might let em off the hook for a McChicken

Alright, no one has objected and it's late night so....

Decided to do a disk cleanup on my ancient laptop running XP (FF 45.0.2) over the weekend, and that went fine. Then thought maybe I should defragment my C drive, and that went fine too (albeit both took about 3 hours total). My laptop was running so much faster and more smoothly afterward, and I was looking forward to a MUCH better working environment this morning. And then I woke up and logged in to my MTurk account.

Immediately saw a message in bright red under the HDB menu stating an "unknown error" occurred that was not directly related to HDB and the error matched no other error message. So I:

1. Tried and failed to update HDB
2. Tried and failed to import HDB backup
3. Checked for HDB updates (none more recent than my installed version)
4. Checked for Greasemonkey updates (")
5. Checked for updates of other extensions
6. Found and installed updates for TO (Kadauchi version) and HIT Scraper
7. Re-enabled HDB and tried to access MTurk dashboard and received original "unknown error" message
8. Checked every forum imaginable for solutions
9. Made sure my FF History settings were not set to 'private' or 'never remember history'
10. Cleared cookies, etc. and removed HDB
11. Disabled all other Greasemonkey extensions and Greasemonkey itself
12. Reinstalled GM and HDB and got the same error message.
13. Went outside and walked around the block twice in lieu of tossing my computer against a wall.
14. Cleared cookies, cache, etc. again
15. Disabled GM and HDB again
16. Did a system restore to the time before I did the disk cleanup and defragmentation
17. Reinstalled GM and HDB again and got the same unknown error message
18. Searched Google for ways to completely uninstall FF
19. Decided to try to refresh FF
20. Removed all cookies, history, etc. prior to refreshing FF
21. Refreshed FF, reinstalled GM and HDB
22. *******!!!!!!!!!!!!!WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**********
23. No longer received HDB error message. Updated database and imported backup. Working perfectly
24. Installed most recently updated versions of TO (Kadauchi), TM, and HS but did not install any other GM US for now.

After 6 hours, everything is working beautifully and my computer/internet is running faster than ever.

*Commencing drinking now.*

It is super ugly, but I'd rather work on something else than fix that.

It's literally such a minor thing, I just personally don't like it on that page, I'm sure there are probably people that do though.

Such a complainer.

You're such a negative nancy

Well there's your problem. You waited until now to start drinking.

What a nice requester, this on top of the $0.50 performance bonus. The HIT was for $2.

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from Robert Hawkins for work related to 3BAWBGQGYLZWYTWKUVAUBLTF3E8V7I.
The value of your bonus is: $1.00 USD

The Requester included this note:
I ran a timer during your HIT, and it looked like you and your partner spent closer to 25 minutes, which is longer than anticipated. I set the base pay with the average in mind, but obviously it varies from pair to pair. I've added $1 on top of your performance bonus to compensate you for that additional time. Thanks again!

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!
