Thought since school was back i session I would have more time to turk WRONG. Every afternoon I have to go pick up the grandchildren at school (2 different schools) because there's a bus driver shortage in our school system and I'm the lucky one that our bus is not picking up children or dropping off. So I send a hour at the elementary school in traffic waiting to pick up my granddaughter. Then driver 20 minutes across town to pick up my grandson at the high school. A total of about two hours of non-turking.

how many are you getting? That was me last week. I updated MtS and it's gone away - I get less than 10 a day, which is more than before, but way less than last week - topped out on 800 one day

you can also try enabling/disabling mts in the extensions, I was getting massive pre's last week and when i did that it went back to normal

I'm constantly changing my settings every day. I either have high PREs or I can't catch anything, so I'm always adjusting my rates throughout the day. My HF seems to create more PREs when there's more hits being posted at the same time and its set to run too fast. My HC seems to create more PREs when its set too fast with only a few HCs running at a time. If I'm not currently working on hits, I'm probably adjusting the MTS settings!

if only they could fix the issue with mts re adding hits to your hit catcher automatically. I have been spending most of the day going in an out of my catcher removing the same hit multiple times because for some reason it thinks i want to catch it again.

good luck - hope that does the trick! Easy fix if so

I think that issue is worst since the last update. I'll delete a hit from the HF, but later I find out that its still in my HC, and I have to delete it a-gain.

what does everyone have their catcher/finder set at at? I have mine at 800 - seems to be the best balance between catching/PREs for me

yeah its annoying, i try to clear out my catcher then add like two hits, and come back to it 5 mins later and now i have 10-15 hits that added themselves.
