lol Prolific

Prolific should do some testing and fix some bugs.
One happens when I tab back from an active qualtrics survey tab to the prolific tab,
then it says I "returned" the survey. Nope, I'm still on it, plenty time on the clock.

 

Say what you will about Prolific, it did me a solid today with the sometimes-almost-instant PayPal payout, that and PayPal's option to get the money to my bank card within minutes (1% fee to PayPal). I needed the money, I got the money, without waiting 3 days plus bank delays.

And say what you will about other alternative survey platforms. There's one I was using that paid very quickly (apparently without even waiting for requester approval). Unfortunately their surveys are infrequent, but I do like those fast payouts.

 

That's fucking epic!

I'm saving this, and sending it to everyone I know who used to be in a ska band in high school.

Don't tab back. Just take the extra .5 seconds to click on the tab. Prolific doesn't like hotkeys or scripts because they're requester focused rather than worker focused.

 

Made a killing for the first time in a while yesterday, problem is I'm back on the caffeine and thus still awake at 6:10am EST. Wondering if I should just go for another round and try to crash around 5pm...

 

Good Morning!

Not sure what you mean by "don't tab back, just...click", I mean I did click by hand, that's how I tabbed back. — Or maybe I used Shift-Ctrl-Tab on the keyboard, idk/idr, is that bad?

 

You're not dead!

 

I mean I was maybe using a browser keyboard shortcut without any hotkey-script.
Shift-Ctrl-Tab is built into the browser IINM, no need for a script.

There was no real problem, the "returned" notice was just a little Prolific bug.
Reloading the page made it 'remember' that I was still working on the task.
