    I am fairly computer literate, but know nothing about programming.

    I turked when mTurk first came out, then didn't do anything with it. Clickworker has been slow lately, so I have been building to 5K hits on mTurk as my back-up income source. I am really enjoying it and have started to see things I wish worked in a bit different way. :)

    I am finding that between the time that I click on "See a hit in this group" and the time the dang thing finally loads the "accept" button, I often lose the hit to someone else. My ISP/PC speeds are good, I think it is just an Amazon thing.

    Is there any way to make a script that you could click on the "see a hit" and have it then auto-accept it for us as soon as the button appears?

    Thanks for all of your help and any answers. Much appreciate it.

    There is a built in feature right below the Accept button where you can check a box to have the next hit after submitting the current one auto accepted.

    Here's a script that seems to do what you want, but it was last updated in 2005. It may not work now, but it could be worth a shot.

    That's really only a "bandage" over the issue though. If you don't mind, perhaps I could help you troubleshoot the issue?

    If so, I'd like to get the ball rolling with what country are you in, and what sort of internet speeds do you have?
