Where Dem HITs At? 12/15 Transition Friday

The old site is still in some kind of zombie state. And it keeps changing like someone is watching us work around the new site's shortcomings and "fixing" things.

I still have an old dashboard open. A while back I unthinkingly set an existing panda going in TM. It worked. It caught the HIT. When I clicked on the notification I got to work on it on the old server. Submitted fine. Shrug.

@amazonmturk Hey, Amazon, I LOVE the new look! Creativity inspires me!

 

Thank you! Works!

 

Does anyone else have two HITs from Julian Michael sitting at the top of their HIT scraper set on "Latest"?

They've been the latest for hours now. Don't know if he's playing some game to keep them there or if Scraper is screwing up. Right now I trust nothing.

 

Well I sent them a tweet. Can't hurt to try at least. Maybe if some of us with masters were to give them our feedback it might hold more weight.

 

If someone still needs access to their old dashboard before it goes bye bye for good, try this:

https://www.mturk.com/mturk/dashboard?doNotRedirect=true

 

VERY nice. That actually works for some other pages also. For example:

https://www.mturk.com/mturk/statusdetail?encodedDate=12152017&doNotRedirect=true

 

We need a permanent donotdirect=true script on every page !!!

 

I've read that part of Amazon's motivation for this is that they think turkers are scamming the requesters/site. Don't know how true that is, but it's plausible.

I've left a tip in our new thread re: filtering.

Many of the scripts aren't working because they haven't been updated yet. All new script are marked WORKER in their title. I checked where a few developers post, and they're aware of the problem. We've been asked to be patient.

I would say use whatever works for you until more updates are done.

 

That would be a great script. Just add that everywhere.

See just how fast that feature gets removed from the old server!

 

So, I managed to delete all the pandas on my turkmaster. Perfect day.

 

Seeing this makes me depressed. It's like seeing an old friend, that you'll never get to see again.

I sent them a 3 paragraph email describing problems with the new site and how it could be fixed. It'll probably fall on deaf ears, but I figured it was worth a try. In short, let's just take it back to the way it was...

 

Flora has left the building.

 

On the plus side...

This appears to be the most posts in this forum since June 8. I figure a few more hours of bitching and we can set a record dating back to the Great Exodus.

 

If not the way it was, which is unlikely, the new UI can be improved by bringing back the missing old features. I think you should make some kind of announcement tomorrow asking Masters people to email. Maybe a stickied thread or a note on our new WORKER thread. Only a few of us are reading your post.
