1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    There used to be a big guide with all the different extensions for turking. I can't seem to find it on this forum. I just wanna get back in to turking and I miss the extensions. Can anyone help or link me to the forum post that lists them all?

    extensions? The only real extension for mturk is MTS.. Do you mean scripts?

    You can also check the wiki https://turkerhub.com/wiki/Scripts-and-Resources

    Mturk Suite is a Chrome extension that combines a lot of useful features. You can find info on it and a link to download here: http://mturksuite.com/
    Other tools are mostly scripts. You'll want the tampermonkey extension to add scripts to your browser. If you google it you should find links to the chrome and firefox versions. Most widely used scripts can be found on https://greasyfork.org/en
    Common ones are Overwatch for watching requesters: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/24464-overwatch-for-worker-mturk
    and Panda Crazy for grabbing hits: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/19168-jr-mturk-panda-crazy
    You'll want the helper script as well if you use panda crazy: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/20380-jr-mturk-panda-crazy-helper
    More info on Panda Crazy here: http://pandacrazy.allbyjohn.com/
    MTS has a scraper to search hits and you can use the include list to watch requesters instead of using Overwatch. It also has HitCatcher which is a panda tool, although that feature is still in beta.
    Give the wiki page that Randomacts linked a read for info on other commonly used scripts
