    One HIT.
    My first HIT of the day.
    I can't submit it because of a CAPTCHA
    Then I have to return it because I got an error when I tried to do it again.
    MTurk SUCKS!
    Why have they destroyed their once great platform?

    My next HIT, I submitted and got the error, but luckily I was able to refresh and submit it.
    Hard to believe a company worth 1.5 trillion can't even run this right.

    Is MTurk unusable for anyone else?
    This horrible, worse I've experienced, and I'm sitting on a full queue.

    I have found firefox, with NO extra scripts running will let me work, albeit still a little slow. Makes finding work harder, but batches a little easier. I only get the 503 very rarely.

    I might be able to turk for a little while. going to try it. also someone on another forum said the problems weren't as frequent after they switched to another browser too.

    I turned off QBC and it still does it, no scripts running.
    I guess this is by design, not sure why they want to destroy their platform.

    I just failed to submit a PickFu. I tried to refresh but all of my text is gone. I'm not typing all that again for pennies. Maybe Amazon will fix it if they hear from their customers.

    you guise try switching to firefox just to find out. can't be worse than it is on your current browsers.

    I don't think it's browser based as the site seemed to work perfectly normal for me starting around 6-7PM yesterday. No 503s, HITs were loading perfectly, and so were all the areas of the dashboard. So I guess they've just kneecapped MTurk in some way after New Years Day.

    Maybe if they get a lot of calls they'll wake up.
    They need to turn down their DDoS bullshit.
    We're not trying to hack them, just trying to work. Amazing how well the system ran a few years ago when there was actually a lot of work. Now I lose 2 out of 6 HITs I try to submit.
