Anyone have their scraper not show TO ratings in the last day or so? Running it in Chrome and getting No Data for TO pay. If it's just me I'm going reinstall and see if that fixes it.
Is this the first time you've mentioned it? I want to say I saw someone mention this in the last few days but couldn't tell you who.
Hm, I think http://mturkforum.com/showthread.ph...eaky-Friday!&p=1488035&viewfull=1#post1488035 might be what I'm thinking of. But upon further thought, I think someone else might have said something like TO or the university hosting it or something blocked their IP? Can you access it elsewhere?
Yes. First thing I checked. I'm thinking it has something to do with a cookie somewhere. I deleted and reinstalled scraper script and all my settings were saved. I don't believe this should be the case. Since it appears to be just me I'm guessing it's something that changed within my browser over the past few days.
Had to do with the page settings being 100 HITs per page. Changed it to 10 and it was fine. I think I remember people were having that issue when AMT first allow for a longer setting.
Have to take qual first but $2 HIT for 5-10 mins or something. chat with a famous celebrity Requester: Seth
Have you put off returning that email or text from a friend? Have you been fighting with a friend or loved one lately over something stupid? Are you grouchy or annoyed at something, like just waking up at this time of morning? Consider taking a few minutes to call, text, email, or write someone and talk about anything. The weather. Mturk. Whatever. Say hello. I saw several members here yesterday having terrible days or feeling down and got some bad news myself. Had a weird day. Since we're all here temporarily, maybe consider starting today on a different note, or saying hi to a stranger, or doing something. So this is your cliche message to do that thing you meant to do or talk to that person you meant to talk to or resolve that thing you meant to resolve. And the cliche follow up to just do it, and the cliche plea that if at least one person does it it'll have been worth it, and the hollow hope that an embarrassing post might do at least one person some good. I re-read this and considered deleting it like the other dozen things I typed out yesterday, but I guess I'll let this one sit. Good luck out there turkers.
This is a great idea. I let myself get in this work bubble and don't talk to anybody but turkers for days on end, even on facebook. I'm sorry you got bad news yesterday and I hope today is better for you.

Yesterday was extremely frustrating for me. I mean, my problems would probably seem like child's play to a lot of people, but my expectations for myself really made my disappointing results feel like the end of the world. I yelled, cursed up a storm, threw some stuff, and went to bed expecting to sleep poorly. I actually got a pretty decent night of sleep, woke up early, and I've made about $5 more than I made all day yesterday. It reminds me of that quote from the movie The Bank Job. "What just happened?" "Fucked if I know; just keep walking."
Questions/answer ones I'm assuming? Wasn't getting up at 4am to do them. Wondering if mine showed up for anyone?
Good post db42. It can be very easy to let things, especially turking get to you. I woke up yesterday, fed the cats, and came to my computer to see that I had just missed virals. Very frustrating, but I somehow ended up having a pretty good earning day in spite of this. I am sorry that you and others had a bad/weird/frustrating day yesterday. It's easy to think that we are the only one doing so, so your post will be appreciated by many.
We're all in this together and it sucks a lot of the time. Glad to hear your day is shaping up better than yesterday. Your problems might be minor or major but they're still problems and they still suck no matter what, so don't feel bad about them existing. Maybe temper it a bit though if it's reasonable. Sometimes it seems like bad stuff can be the only reminder of good or neutral stuff, in some sort of weird cyclical thing. If nothing else I guess I was feeling guilty and let my post go. I think I come across as an asshole sometimes for pointing our mistakes or being sarcastic and stuff, but it's not meant to be malicious. Just in hopes of paying closer attention or poking fun at or whatever, but I like everyone here in some fashion, even the banned fallen. And I know a lot of people are here just to make money, so apologies on that end as well. But don't deny that maybe making stupid posts on an internet forum to people you interact with on a regular basis based around often stupid work can't be good in the end, because it's the people that matter. Or something. I wish lunarobverse would post some wise words or that B would tell me to shut the fuck up and stop wasting space he has to scroll by. Or I saw BALdie post an actual HIT on this work forum and where is someone's photoshop of him in a hard hat on the job? Or something. Something that makes people smile or giggle at people's personalities or reputations or caricatures done out of fondness or perceived fondness. Ok. Now get to work.

I feel like I saw a lot of posts around that time about how dead it was, not sure if they were joking since I wasn't turking, but after I left for the dentist virals (and wikipedia somethings) ended their hiatus. Maybe it was your cats or maybe it was my more monumental dentist visit. In either case, if they ever disappear again I'll start chugging sodas so that my fellow turkers don't lose a weekly batch. Edit: sorry for all the twirdmans
