Given the long timer, I would contact the requester to see if they have any advice. At some point, you may be investing more time than the HIT is worth.
Thank you for the advice. I took a 10 minute break then went back to it. It started working again and I just now completed it.
If it had happened again, I would have attempted to contact the researcher.

Bored I is.

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the mturkcrowd forum
No creature was stirring,Pleco passed out from boredom.
Jaded hung stockings by the chimney with care while
Jan was hoping Kaduchi would soon be there.

The scripts were nestled all snug in their beds.
At least that's what Johnny RS and Kaduchi said.
Peppar's Momma in her kerchief and Cmoney in a cap
Settled down with Infinite Changes, Jkarkan, and Binxybaby for a long needed nap.

When out of the hit page there arose a loud clatter
Captain spring from his bed to see what was the matter
Amazon Recog had just dropped a batch
C to the J and Gina said "Now that's quite a catch."

MTS on the breast of the new-fallen batch
Gave a luster of light to the new born catch.
But then to the Captain's wondering eyes did appear
A miniature dashboard with turkers so near

With a cherub faced driver and Captain knew right away
It was Amazon Jeff and what did he say?
Faster than batches his coursers came
He whistled, he shouted, he called them by name.

SleepComa and BinxyBaby, ItsAmyTee and Liz
Danielle and Peachy Rider, Kat8Mouse and SweetiePuff,
To the top of Hit Finder! To the top of the que
He stopped and looked around at the view.

Then he sprang on his dashboard and gave his team a whistle
And away they flew like down of a thistle
But Captain heard his exclaim as they flew out of site
Masters to all and to all a good night.
:love: :love: That was beautiful!

Now that we have had a few days to digest the new Mturk design, does anyone have one positive thing to say about it. I am seeking a moral booster :LOL:
I like the worker ID you can copy/paste with a click. I like fewer PREs. I've gotten used to the look/design and it's growing on me more. I like the layout of the dashboard better.

I think it looks hip and very modern. I'm appreciating the sleek design and aesthetics!

It's better than those Geocities websites that had like 20 sparkly gifs that took forever to load in a modem connection.


That's about it.

What would you say your overall completion time was (minus the restart and 10min break)?

Sooooo hitscraper is broken? Please spoonfeed me I just got here.

Nevermind I'm a genius and used that little search function here and found the fix. I deserve a baby for figuring that out.
