Hi @MAD Labs, thanks for posting! Regarding the tasks (since you're here) I find myself getting topics for iOS or Android, but the solution, more often than not, is made for the opposite OS. What is the best way to handle this situation, since you're not going to get an Android app to run on iOS (and vice-versa)?
Hi! Thanks for asking! Although an app/game app is available for both OSs, only one link is displayed in your hit. This doesn't mean that the app is only available for that OS. The system randomly chooses one of the links we offer. So basically if you quickly search on Google and see that the same app is available for more platforms and is suitable to your topic, you can consider it valid and review/comment on it.
Thanks again, ran across this today: Topic: best instant cameras Solution: Polaroid Z2300 The Z2300 10MP is a Polaroid camera print instant photos in 2x3" in full colour in less than 1 minute. It features a 10MP sensor, compact size and 3" bright colour LCD and it's compatible with SD cards up to 32Gb. The link gave me this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FR85IRK/?tag=thtv02-20 Which is a completely different camera (though it falls into the same category). I found this link on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GVXKUW/?tag=thtv02-20 And based my text on that. Is this the right way to handle a completely different link than what's provided?
Hi @MAD Labs, quick question and sorry if this has been answered directly by you before but...can I complete multiple HITs in a day? Some users have said yes and some have said no.
That's exactly the right way to handle it! If the link is broken or does not match with the solution provided, or it's not provided, please take the solution title as valid as the link may be wrong or not available. Thank you so much for notifying, we'll also take advantage to edit the wrong link from the above solution. Cheers
Hi, We are receiving some inquiries about this. As far as we see there are people doing multiple tasks for us and it's actually not a problem for us at all. As long as you review the solutions correctly, you can take more than one (and the batches presented to you are usually different). It can sometimes happen to get the same problem-solution pair -if you really do a lot- but as long as you try to give a true and valuable review of the product (different from the one you gave before) fair enough. Let me know if you have any further doubts. We are trying to understand why some of you state that you can't... if you have any hints on this kindly let me know. Cheers
Having server issues right now @MAD Labs ? Actually this seems to happen fairly often after I put my mturk ID / gender in.
DULY REPORTED. Thank you for notifying. Batch has been canceled: you won't be able to grab any more hits from now on. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I asked a similar question previously, and their answer was to submit if you were able to accept it. By batch, I believe they mean strictly on the Mturk side ... however many "offerings" remain unaccepted. I had your problem initially as well. This is one more reason the 5 hour timer is much appreciated ... I did other stuff and came back to it later and was able to get in. (this is also the main reason not to wait to the last minute to at least go through the ID and sex page on these HITs.) And I've had this problem fairly often in the last month as well.
@MAD Labs , getting a lot of young female fiction for Male selections in the task. Has happened the last two or so HITs, did them as best I could (I'm running out of nieces to use!).
@MAD Labs Would it be possible for you guys to either not post at 1AM PT or go back to the longer timer of 5 hours? The most recent hit you put out today is 3 hours and I expect that we will have a lot of hits expire in our queues because you have been dropping them at 1 am. >.>
@MAD Labs Your hits are broken as hell right now. Getting two different errors Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 20480 bytes) in /var/www/html/mt/classes/UseCases.php on line 134 and if I get past that with the debug username 'test' I was able to see this error once. I did get through with the debug username 'test' so I'll do it and submit under that. Hopefully you will get your stuff fixed An error occurred. Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please try again later. If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should checkthe error log for details. Faithfully yours, nginx.
@MAD Labs "Oops! Something went wrong. May we ask you to try again later? Many thanks." Someone give the hamster a kick, will ya?
