    Good afternoon, Seeker.

    Is anyone else using Task Archive?

    Hate studies that force you to go fullscreen.

    Because it causes Chrome to change the order of its windows on the taskbar.

    Plus other reasons. :)

    Can it make a Hit Database? I don't know if I've already asked this. The author didn't understand my question.

    Yeah. It keeps track of all the hits you do and puts a green checkmark next to requester names you've worked for, and hit titles that match those you've done. It then prompts you to back up its version of database to your hard drive at regular intervals.

    There's a way you can drag your hit database backup into task archive. Somebody told me how a couple of months ago. I did it, and it worked, but I'm damned if I can remember how, or even who it was who gave me the directions. It was somebody on here.

    I think you just save your hit database back-up, open your downloads file, find that file and drag it into TA. You right click the TA icon on your browser taskbar and hit options, and then drag the database backup into that. I think.

    I have the world's worst memory though.

    I never made a backup, so I'm just working from the day the new site began, or the day I began the updated MTS.

    ELT and turker2013 hang out in the other thread, so you can ask there.

    You might still be able to go to the old site and back up hit database from there, if MTurk hasn't made that impossible yet.
    But you don't have to drag your old database into TA if you don't want. It will just start creating a database of its own as soon as you install it, and automatically keep track of the hits you've done since then.

    So the short answer to your question is: Yes. Yes, Task Archive does create and use a hit database.

    Their database doesn't work with hit-scraper, though. But TA has a sort of hit-scraper built into it--its 'live update' button. It's not as good as the real thing, but it's a lot better than nothing.

    Maybe there's a way to get it to work with hit-scraper, but I haven't stumbled onto it yet. That's possible, too. I keep learning new things it does as I go along.

    First you use the filter button, and then it appears, just to the left of "items per page," and the right of "hide details."

    It's a violation of the TOS to ask us to sign up to any site. One of our members has an ad for them in his/her signature too.

    The person with it in the signature probably thinks the Robinhood thing is a good idea. And hell, maybe it is.

    But I object to somebody dangling a shiny quarter in front of a title like "short survey" and then finding out they're really trying to trick me into signing up at some outside site. They are, at the very least, wasting my precious, finite time.
