it currently doesn't have the option to sort by TO. i don't find that useful anyway, you would miss out on new requesters that don't have TO reviews yet. i find it more useful to block specific requesters that i don't want to see.

Putting on a limit of say 2.5-3.0, still shows Requesters with no TO.

The website hasn't been updated yet.

Why is slack being used instead of IRC?

 

[kryss]

I've tried a few and none bring up any TO options. Is there a URL that I'm supposed to use that I'm not using? I'm going straight to HF from the MTS options dropdown, no idea if that affects anything.

Matter of fact, I'll probably just message Kad or post on the MTS thread again.

Has mts updated for you in the last 24 hours? What exactly isn't working for you?

Because people like it better than irc and it's nicer.

try reinstalling panda crazy and restarting your browsers, there's been a few updates with it

Thanks. I see it did change a little but from what i'm ready the buttons won't show up on a hit thats completely gone? I only get the panda buttons when the hit is available and can be accepted right then and there which defeats the purpose no? I guess I can manually add the jobs for now...

I know it's been a stressful week for all here on mturk so let's just do our best to keep our spirits up. We still get to sit on our bums and make some money from the comfort of our own homes .

Yes! Thank you for posting this! We all need to be patient with mturk and with each other!
I personally don't get to make money from my home but maybe one day! I'm slowly earning more and more each day!

 

[masterx1234]

I love her. The day she dies is going to be a sad day! I keep hoping she's immortal and lives forever!

So this is an issue with amazon. When you go to accept a hit and the hit is gone, amazon redirects the url to a search page, so it doesn't allow the buttons to work on that page, at the moment. There *should* be a fix for this in the coming days, no eta yet. In the mean time, you need to right click on the accept link (from where ever you're grabbing the hits), copy link address, and manually add that link into PC.

My $20 app testing HIT got approved but its not paid yet! Im hoping that I'll have that in my account before I have to transfer it over at the end of the day!

Thanks! That is what I will do for now. One more question. I usually only click "Once" on surveys but as I am manually adding it is wanting to grab the same survey multiple times. Is there a way when manually adding to only add it once?

The sad thing is, in most of our country this is considered an extreme stance. Most other modern countries completely discourage coming in sick, some to the point that it's actually against the law to come in sick (or to make your employees do so). It's also more productive - staying out a few days to heal up is better than working at 1/10 power and also infecting others. In the good old United States, though, we act as if working while sick is a noble thing, and end up driving production WAY down as a result.

Good point about working sick part as when I worked at Amazon warehouse in the holiday season of 2016 they encouraged workers to tough it out. It was a bad idea because the warehouse had poor ventilation and they had these fans that blew everywhere, so when people coughed or sneezed the germs would go everywhere. This caused a lot workers to get the flu and miss a week. Brought down production, plus the few workers who didn't get the flu became overworked and tired.

All I know is that PRE's, which cause me all kinds of headaches, are sooooo much better on the new site. I'm hoping they stay this way after everyone gets their scripts updated.

I am getting significantly less as well. Go figure. They updated something that was almost a decade old and it performed better. Didn't know it was possible for new things to be good in any way. /sarcasm
