    Here's the thing. I think the new Mturk site is actually fine. They made changes in order to stop us Panda-heavy users. People (like me) who were sending an insane amount of requests to gobble up hits.

    That was my modus operandi and so I'm having to adjust. But it's okay.

    Do you agree that it's harder to capture hits? Seems like it to me....

    There used to be someone on here who always said "scared money don't make money."
    He was right. I've got 95 cents for the day and you've got at least $3.

    And they're probably going to use the information exactly the way they said they were.
    probably...

    By the way, Job Spotter has an android app where you get paid for taking pictures of hiring signs. Haven't tried it, but it has a good rating on the Google play store

    Seems about the same to me. I think the first two weeks it was easier to just catch HITs without PandAs because no one was able to PandA yet. I've had to learn all new software like Mturk Suite and Panda Crazy but some things I like about those more than Turkmaster and the other scripts I was using and somethings I don't (which some of it isn't possible anymore thanks to the new site). The way I search is totally different now because I used to do it all manually but MTurk Suite is more legible and I'm finding stuff I wouldn't have because it constantly searches where as before while I was Turking I wasn't searching.

    I have a harder time because I can't use the old-Panda-address and a little auto refresh app like before. Since I turk and work, there's only so many apps that I can put on my computer before looking suspicious. Due to that, I can only grab a few things here and there and really have to spend all day to get just a few bucks and only on surveys. Batches are super rare for me now. I keep at it because I am broke and need every penny. But I often find myself wondering if I'd be better off using other sites. That being said, I keep coming back like a creature of habit!

    I think you still can use a little auto refresh app. Let me give you an example. Here is my hotel photos .08 qual hit that I panda all the time:

    https://worker.mturk.com/projects/3...YRBODH/tasks/accept_random.json?ref=w_pl_prvw

    See what I did there? you have to add /accept_random.json?ref=w_pl_prvw. So change the URL of any hit by adding that...and then auto refresh it with that URL. Should work.

    Just to clarify, when I liked your post, I liked the warning of the short timer not the fact it expired on you.

    Oh I know! I would never think that.

    Tried to catch it again but it wouldn't let me accept. Oh well. Don't know why requesters would do that. Making us hurry like that.
