09/09 - Turkey Thursday

Did mts update or something? Everything is back to light mode, finder sound settings are all on, catcher is in some other kind of order now and I lost nicknames for the ones still listed as n/a. so I don't know what they are
edit: my favs are gone too save for one.

​

Pros:
Pays well. If you aren't dumb like me, you can do this much faster and get a better pay rate.

Cons:
Must download an app for your phone. A first for me, I only downloaded this because it was in the Google Play Store and it had over 1+ million downloads.

I also took the example to be, try on three pairs of shoes. You can only upload one photo (from the best I could tell), so don't make my mistake.

My overall time reflects downloading the app; opening and trying on three pairs of shoes; emailing... Read more

It is all about what you have access to, your watchers, and of course requesters posting HITs. I had a great month in August, but so far September has been kind of a dud for me.

I didn't see an update. When you were messing with the settings yesterday trying to figure out how to export, did you maybe uncheck something?

No I didn't. Pretty much all my settings were set back to default soon as I opened it today but catcher just straight up rearranged itself (which there is no setting for) AND it looks like added back some old ones I had deleted! Lol Plus the deletion of favs and nicknames.

 

Are you using MTS or QBC?

 

MTS. Is everyone else using QBC now?

 

MTS is fine. QBC is just an option. It's a monthly subscription.

 

Ugh, ordered a $42 fan from Target and received a $25 cube organizer instead. Now I got to go to Target this weekend to return the cube organizer I didn't order and get a refund.

 

Well on the plus side the catcher displays the hits names before they're caught now instead of just n/a

HIT Catcher does sometimes N/A stuff. I have only had it happen a few times and usually just one or two lines, not the whole lot. Maybe something happened with your cache, or there is some disconnect between HIT Catcher and TV at the moment.

If you are not already backing up your data, you might want to consider doing it on a weekly basis for HIT Tracker and for your favorites/block lists. Doesn't help you with your setting reverting back, or the N/A in HIT Catcher, but for peace of mind since you are experiencing wacky things.

 

What are the odds if I message the requester Amazon Mechanical Turk Team about an error in my demos that they'll respond? I finally answered the Basic demo hit and put my year of birth but they granted me the wrong qual, 2 yrs younger (I triple checked the year too) this puts me in a different age bracket so I can't do the hit I'm after. I don't know what's going on for me today.

Approved! ​

Pros:
...

Edit: approved instantly, so I guess the joke is on me.

Cons:
Apparently I already did part 2 back in August. Way to go, Crystal... There was no incl qual for this, only an exclusion qual. Hopefully she made an error with running a new series of part 1's and just copied over the information without changing the HIT title and informed consent...
