    Hi,

    for the past 5 or so days Pinterest HITs have not been working for me. All I get is an entirely white screen. Anyone else? I tried with Chromium, Vivaldi and Firefox.

    Do you have an adblocker / similar extension running?

    I use Chrome, and they have not been broken for me.

    They have been working for me without any issues in chrome. Well besides the normal golden question and no tasks stuff.

    I haven't had any issues. Are you logged in to Pinterest?

    I got an entirely white screen on Chrome on Mac on the inappropriate search term batch this morning, but my internet has been trash so I didn't think much of it. So... that's not helpful.

    OH! THIS MIGHT BE IT. I was logged out. [​IMG]<3

    hmm, ok. Thanks for your answers, though I was more hoping for them to be broken generally than just for me.

    I have an adblocker, but that's disabled on mturk because it had affected HITs there in the past. I'll try completely disabling it browser-wide.

    Edit: I was still logged in (with Chromium at least, which is my standard mturk browser). Will also try logging out and logging back in.

    Maybe it's actually a problem restricted to non-Windows users? Like Jessers I'm not using Windows, I'm using a Linux distribution.

    I tried with a Windows machine now on another platform where Pinterest also posts tasks, but still the same thing. Just a blank screen.

    I get some errors on the page in the console

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'Loading Tasks' of undefined
    at e.value (bundle.js:11)
    at f (bundle.js:51)
    at p._constructComponentWithoutOwner (bundle.js:61)

    at Object.i [as batchedUpdates] (bundle.js:13)
    at dispatchEvent (bundle.js:62)

    EDIT: Caught a Pinterest on mturk now too, same errors about bundle.js there too. I sent them a message through mturk now. With some luck they'll read it.

    Received this email back

    ...and it seems to have been fixed now without me doing anything since I last tried yesterday evening and sent the mail to them. Hopefully it's back to working for you too, jessers
