WORKER IS COMING! Discussion Mega Thread!

Thanks for the reply. So they're not called group ID's anymore? It's still the long code in the middle of the link address, correct? Why would you have done it manually when there was just a button you could click? Frustrating.

Yeah, I was able to add them using the code in the middle of the URL and I believe the full URL works too so long as it isn't the page that you get redirected back too. Also I've never used any scripts that add additional features to PC. I just never really found it necessary and I use Chrome just for running scripts instead of doing work.

Can I ask what you're doing for a database at the moment? Lost without HITDB...

I don't do surveys regularly anymore so I've just been going without one lately, but I'm pretty sure hit DB is supposed to be updated at some point.

Are we not able to run pandas and queue HITs anymore, or am I missing something? I've been ignoring the mturk community, so I was absolutely not prepared for the switch.

When you say that Panda Crazy functions, can I ask what you mean exactly? Can you still the button to create a Panda when there are no more HITS available? I've been unable to figure out how to do that and it's a critical function. Any help appreciated.

Please check this post for current updates and relevant info on scripts

Hi, I just joined but I have been doing mturk for almost 2 years now on my own. I am still having problems with the Panda Crazy script even after doing the update. It says I have a captcha to clear, but when I go to a hit to clear a captcha, there isn't one. No captcha comes up to clear. It will not grab hits now because of this problem. Does that make sense? Is anyone else having a problem like this? Does anyone have a way around this? I'd appreciate any help that can be provided.

Edit: Problem resolved.

Is there no "qualifications" tab on the new site??

No there isn't. Amazon doesn't think we need to see it.

Edit - it's supposed to be coming, but do not have an eta on it

Also, Javan martin hits are not coded for the new site, so they send you back to the old one?! But you can't access anything else there

I can't panda anything, any idea what I need to do for this?

You have to right click on the panda link for the HIT and select "copy link address." That will give you the link you need to add to whatever you use to catch HITs.

I just get a whole page when I do that. I use Turk Master and if the hit is gone I can't panda it anymore, just the entire page.

 

[TotalBabe]

I'm not sure then. I don't use Turk Master. Sorry about that.

Update AMT still sucks.

I use turkmaster. Normally I could just click watch this hit and it would go into turkmaster and I would decide how many seconds I wanted it to run. Now I don't have that option, when I try to copy the link from a hit it just says invalid.

Maybe I just need to use something different

AFAIK, that "watch this HIT" button isn't currently available. You have to copy the "accept" link, not the link in the URL bar of the page when no HIT is available, like you used to be able to do. It's two different URLs now. Does that make sense?

Yes that makes sense I can add a url in panda crazy but don't know how in turkmaster. I will just use panda crazy for awhile

I used TurkMaster for awhile but don't remember how to add URLs without those buttons (if that's even possible). Sorry! But glad PC is working for you.

The standalone HIT Finder script is not being updated, to my knowledge.

If you download MTurkSuite, it has an updated HIT Finder built in.
