02/16 - Tired Thursday

I'm sure I saw someone post they had trouble with Firefox so that's why I asked. Maybe you can uninstall and reinstall the scripts you are running?

 

Yep, cleared it. And I have also had to go over to Connect more than I feel like.

 

Browsers and programs make zero difference with this issue

The entire MTurk site literally goes down. There is nothing you can do

 

A couple nights ago, I accidentally left both of my catchers on and probably caught/missed a good $40 of hits. I hadn't even realized that I had turned them on that day because I'd been spending so much time on prolific.

 

I use Forker w/PCM. But I am not really actively trying to catch anything. Finder is the only one that shows things like PickFu and Product Pinion for me...but I keep it off most of the time (and set at 3400 when it turn it on).

I'm guessing MTurk is being hammered with a crapton of traffic with all the reqs, workers and the amount of scrapers pulling data.. probably quite the load for the servers to handle. Although I don't see why its become such an issue recently compared to the past. Unless there really are that many more people turking now

 

If you're turking all day, like literally staring at your screen looking for hits/working hits, you'll encounter this issue multiple times every day... or at least that is my experience

 

For example, its down right now. Load your dashboard and you will see

NM its back up

Oh it's been down for me for about the last 10 minutes. After coming back up for exactly 2 minutes.

 

Its still down right now? Cus its up for me

Interesting if its actually affecting users differently. Very strange if that's the case
