    Did Queuebicle die entirely? For whatever reason for me today the power button ended up grayed out (was running 1.8.3) and manual login just ends up with the "unhandled exception" error box. I tried reinstalling 1.7.3 after wiping out the remnants and it works for a few minutes but it trying to sync ends up having it stall out (assumedly with our favorite Amazon shopping button behind the scenes where it's not viewable). Allowing it to update to 1.8.3 again just puts me back at square one unable to turn it back on. Obviously with Mturk on its deathbed, it's not a priority to fix anymore but is there any way to get it working again?

    (edit: just saw InfiniteChanges made a post about it on the test channel)

    Mine stopped working Friday. I tried to re-install today and can't get past the step in the setup process where QBC connects with your MTurk account.

    Though it's going to end up in the same boat after, you can enter the login into the form, wait for it to give you the sinister error, then hit the dev button and input the login info into the website box that comes up so you can proceed. Though once you have it working, once it hits a PRE on the install version you're screwed and updating it just ends you up in the same place you were before.

    I think I had a number for CT at one point for ohnoeverythingisofirewhyme reasons, but I'm not sure I can find it... I'll look for it, but who knows if it's even still his number since it's been...a while since I used it.
