12/18 - Magic Monday!

Hit Notifier is not doing a good job of notifying of new hits. WTF.

 

[InfiniteChanges]

Today has been all over the place with scripts. First the Dashboard Enhancer correctly shows my bonuses, then it doesn't. Next the MTS tracker next to the worker ID somehow is higher than my actual projected daily, but not high enough to be included bonuses. And this whole time I have a mini heart attack everytime I upate my dashboard because of the alignment of the HIT Status updates keeps making me think I got another rejection.

I. Hate. This. New. Site!

 

[thedorchannel]

This violates TOS numerous times

but u get 2 cents tho

 

[InfiniteChanges]

On a positive note, I'm at PE 41.15 because of bonuses and the last SurveyComet HIT.

 

[micky]

but u get 2 cents tho

Says $20 if you qualify but no way giving out my info is even worth that.

Thought this might be helpful:

For now, you can still find out AA.
Put &donotredirect=true at the end of a www (old worker site) PANDA link (i.e. contains the group ID), and if you have an AA-checking script, you should still be able to see AA. Probably won't work for that much longer, but it can be useful for the moment.

I for one have to say I like the site. Thanks to all the people making the scripts I like and use, I am just as comfortable using it as I was the old site.

So, I noticed this on the Amazon Payments page randomly just now - there was a link to information about them verifying our information. Clicked it, and came to this:

"Additional Information Regarding Amazon's Request for Identity Information

It's people like you that have brought this HELL onto the rest of us.

Just noticed th return option no longer there on PC.

Somehow, PC panda'd a bunch of Jeffrey Du HITs. Filled my queue. So I had to race around back and forth on the new site to return each one, three clicks each time and some timed out. I think it could have been from last week, not sure.

That was quite frustrating. You can't get to your queue easily anymore. UGH

 

[SalvadorZombie]

This should also tell us a lot about how they view us:

"If you do not verify your Amazon Payments account, your mTurk account will be suspended and you will no longer be able to purchase Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs)."

the newer hitfinder not working today? it was fine friday. any suggestions?

 

[MindNumbing]

I never asked for it. But I worked with it some before the change to get use to it. Maybe why I like it. Maybe I like it because it's all we get.

I for one have to say I like the site. Thanks to all the people making the scripts I like and use, I am just as comfortable using it as I was the old site.

I only started turking a few months ago, so nothing much has changed for me, except the stupid 'confirm' box, that appeared a few days ago, when you return a hit. Does anyone like this "feature?" Honestly, I hate it with a passion

 

[MindNumbing]

the newer hitfinder not working today? it was fine friday. any suggestions?

did you update it? Maybe the problem. Mine is working.

 

[Murkturk]

Am I missing something or can you no longer show only HITs with 3+ TO in HIT Finder?

 

[thedorchannel]

can someone show me a link to how to create a new "panda?" or how to hoard hits quickly?

I was going to research this b4 the 15th, but the Denver Broncos' season tanked and I was busy laughing at that
