    In the panda crazy helper script, Try changing on line 260ish: $(vwDiv).prev().append(myContainer); to $(vwDiv).prev().prev().append(myContainer);
    It was appending jr buttons to <br> and hiding them for me.

    Does anyone know where to find instructions for how to compensate a worker whose HIT has expired and who hasn't worked for that Requester ever before? I mean, the one besides "This HIT is for Worker ID XYZ only".

    What is the name of the requester?

    Edit: nevermind I don't need to know.

    Are you asking for written instructions created by Turk Prime for requesters?

    Does the Requester need to pay in addition to what he owes me to Turk Prime for that?

    AFAIK there are three ways to compensate a worker whose HIT expired, who has never worked for a requester.
    1. Create a compensatory HIT with a qualification tied to the workers ID. Only said worker will be able to accept said HIT.
    2. Create a regular HIT and mention or don't mention this HIT is for said worker. However, anyone will be able to accept this HIT.
    OR
    3. Create a HIT using the second method above and email the worker a completion code so that only he/she can submit it.

    Another way to pay a worker who hasn't done work for a requester before is via paypal. I have been paid this way and all other ways I mentioned above. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

    I highly doubt they need to pay to get instructions on how to use a platform they've already paid to use. Is the requester asking you for a link to said page?

    I read those instructions but I felt that the Requester may decline to pay me on the pretext that he needs to pay extra. I've read the instructions on the page you've provided the link to and it mentions paying some extra amount. But I guess I shouldn't have presumed that. My bad I guess.

    Good afternoon!

    Thank you for your work on my survey! I greatly appreciate your attention to it.
    I am sorry to hear that the HIT expired while you were working on it.

    I was wondering if I can pay you the compensation ($1.00) directly via PayPal or Venmo.
    MTurk collects too much service fees that it actually is better if I pay you directly :D

    I hope either PayPal or Venmo is fine with you. Please let me know if you prefer compensatory HIT.
    If you are okay with PayPal or Venmo, please inform me if xxxxxxx@gmail.com would be the email that I will be sending my payment.
    (If I recall correctly, all I needed was a correct email)

    Thank you!
    Sincerely,
    xxxxxx xxx

    So, if they absolutely insist on avoiding fees, the last option is the best option, if you're comfortable with that as well.

    Most requesters are fine creating a compensatory HIT but if yours wants to avoid fees, then, as you can see, there is another way. Hope this helped.

    Well, actually, they've asked me to pay through Amazon gift card. The problem is that I prefer only through mturk. I've my reasons for that. Honest!

    I see. Unfortunately, I can't think of any other way.

    That's all right. For now I'll just send them the link and wait for their reply.

    Thanks a lot for your help.
