    I think I would usually just miss the bundle that was posted for my groups on Wednesdays, because I would always look when (usually) Flora posted the link and nothing was available for me. But if I looked the next day, there were plenty. I just thought they posted different groups on different days. I'm super glad I caught them today.

    I'm not sure why you got rejected, so I'll just give tips for the forecast portion. I usually try to skim a few articles to get a better understanding of the situation. I read other people's forecasts if they are available. I type a minimum of 3 sentences and provide at least one reference. Maybe one sentence to summarize the situation, one quote to support my opinion, one sentence explaining why I feel that way. Good luck!

    Also, these are good filler if you got the qual a while back.

    The SurveyComet hit? Have you emailed them? They're great at communication (as long as it's EST business hours). They did warn me once of going too quick. So your best bet is take at least an hour on it. I tend to write more than the 2-3 sentences that they require. I also like to mention more than one source for the information I use to come to my conclusion.

    Take plenty of sunblock and a hat with you. I have to carry a sunbrella. Otherwise get burned to a color of a lobster in five minutes. It's also darn hot in here.:hot:

    Yep. If I want to camouflage myself, I just go and stand next to a white wall.

    For those that also work on Prolific, they made a major website change. It appears that Prolific Assistant no longer works due to this change. :(

    edit. and now my balances are showing up in PA. So hopefully I'm wrong.

    Then definitely a sunblock and hat. Publix sells Totes umbrellas that are UPF50+. Highly recommend one.

    Of course have fun too. That's what vacations are all about. :sunglasses::sun::wine:

    Didn't know Prolific Assistant even existed. I'm sure someone will update it soon enough.

    I've been using their Beta site. I guess they finally got out of beta?

    Saved a worms life today. Saw him struggling on the sidewalk cooking in the sun. Tossed him back into the grass. Hope he makes it.

    :wave: Hi Flora. Nice beta. :fish:

    Did you know worms can't breathe when it rains because the soil gets flooded that's why they come onto sidewalks. But they stay to long and the sun dries them up and kills them. It's why I usually toss them back if I see them on the sidewalk in decent shape when everything has dried up.

    Now that my balance and pending show up, I think it likely works fine, although it hasn't alerted me of a single study today. I recommend using it, it's a chrome addon (I don't know if it has a firefox counterpart). Also uncheck the announcements box they are annoying.

    I guess I didn't get the beta invite, but yeah it looks like it was released to all today.
