It's bringing up this forum just fine - very fast. I have one of those embedded HITs I am working on and I'm afraid it's going to try to auto-submit and screw up.
Seems like I might be the exception here, I'm not turking right now but my connection to the dashboard seems to be normal.

I'm starting to think it's my connection. I can't get PA up either now, and it's on a different browser. It's got to be me...can't even get the speed test to load, LOL.
Review: This website is a sham and a scam. How dare these amateurs rate medical schools or physcian competence. The owners of "Vitals" need to crawl back into their wine bottles from whence they came. I am also having issues connecting to mturk -- it is taking about 10 seconds between HITs. Of course it is then taking 3 or 5 minutes for VDX to load the frame, so 10 seconds is hardly a problem right now.
Phone. I worked for survey research corporation from 1997-98 4-9 pm. no commissions just hourly wage, calling people off printed lists of numbers, reading from a printed script and filling out scan-trons with responses. We were in NE about 3 blocks from Gallups HQ. hmm I guess there was internet it just wasn't much use.
OK guys, what do you think? I got speed test to work and it's showing normal. But mturk.com won't load for me in FF or Chrome. I can load this forum just fine though. Could it be the cache in both browsers?
