    Okay so I have a couple questions for anyone still on. I've never used overwatch so I was checking it out and it is basically just a fancy version of what Hit Monitor was right? Also and more importantly I'm currently trying to minimize my tools down to just the essentials because as it is I cant even run pandas of more than 2 hits at once without getting a ton of page errors and this is after turning off all the scripts that supposedly cause this the most. I'm wondering how many pandas would be the norm that I should be able to run at once assuming I dont leave a bunch unnecessary shit on and if I dont do much batch work should I even bother with overwatch or will it be problematic?

    overwatch runs on worker.mturk so it doesn't share the same pre pool as www and yes it is like hit monitor but a lot better.

    I normally run from 3 to 10 or so pandas.. The amount doesn't give me more page refresh errors they just refresh less often.

    You aren't running hit finder on the same side of mturk as your pandas ... are you?

    Do we seriously not have a wiki page for this yet... tbh I'm to tired to explain this right now in detail but worker.mturk and the 'normal' mturk we call www don't share pre pools. so you can basically get twice amount of pings to amazon.

    ELI5 version: There are two sites, worker.mturk.com, Amazon's fancier, younger son that has an updated interface because he's hip and cool and totally 2016. The other site is www.mturk.com, Amazon's older kid, who's been through college and is tired and jaded about life. Each of them can do the same things as the other, but they are two separate entities - so worker.mturk.com can run PANDAs at the same time as www.mturk.com, even though they share a login (you use your amazon account on both).

    Clear enough?

    by the way.. you are using either panda crazy or hit catcher for pandas right? Turkmaster is old and outdated and you shouldn't use it imho

    yeah panda crazy, HF, and this forum is pretty much it. I have 21.5 and 23 inch monitors and 2 comps going in tandem so my command center has everything going such that I can see and use everything with a fair amount of ease. That being said sometimes I just watch tv on one of the monitors

    I suggest running hit finder on worker and then panda crazy on www. If you want you can also try overwatch as well and that runs on worker but you can technically do the same thing with just hit finder alone.

    I rocked dual monitors on a netbook years ago. VGA, but still! No reason you can't pick up a cheap monitor if you only have VGA out. Up until I got my desktop a year ago, I used a Sony VAIO hooked up to a pretty old Westinghouse TV. :lol:

    I'd have to get some low ass monitors, I hate it when they're not equal heights.

    I may or may not be using a macbook.

    You can still use the laptop screen as an auxiliary monitor that isn't the same level as the others

    Or close the laptop and use the monitors without the laptop screen.

    My situation is I have an imac desktop which is my main, and then my HP pavilion I dropped a while ago and the screen is broken but I never take it anywhere anyways so I got a 23 inch monitor off amazon for like $90 and just always have it plugged in.
