    Thanks all - glad its not just me being a wally! Nick - there are several easy ones, which i've had no problems with, which is why I kept thinking perhaps I was being an idiot and doing something wrong, or misreading it!

    Killerpeaty - how are your job applications going?

    Evening All

    I'd been chasing a large SB amount from Sometrics since the 26th of June, I finally got it credited last night - yay! - but the last email I got from them gave some (hopefully) useful info so I thought I'd share it here in case it's of any use to anyone else, sorry if it has already been posted on here.

    Ipsos... but ippy makes it sound like some kind of magical creature who turns up to give me money.


    @schminky; Thank you for asking : ) It's not been going great, yesterday I was having a pretty awful day and today I was with a friend whose mother yelled at her for baking a cake with me. But I did find a new job to apply for (will start my cover letter and CV today but it's too late to apply today) and I just found a directory of companies in one of the industries I want to apply for (I'm not going to tell anyone on this site what I want to do because you'll probably lynch me..)! : D
    Also I got 11sb for job searching.. :T

    For anyone that does the tasks - have you ever been successful on the Fisher task that asks you to list 10 search results for particular search terms?

    I've done this several times, and maybe I am being utterly dumb, but the 3 parts are repeated word for word (so you have part 1, 2 and 3, and then underneath it goes back to part 1, 2 and 3 again, and they are exactly the same as the first three?). Also, part 1 asks you to search for "fisher Investments" but not click enter, then part 2 says "Now go ahead and hit enter to search for "Ken Fisher"". This implies to me that you should have been searching for Ken Fisher in part 1, and not clicking enter, but now you can go ahead and click enter in part 2. Or that they have made a great big **** up!

    Basically, has anyone EVER got this one to work? I've done it several times now and it always comes back incorrect!

    Up until recently the "Fisher Tasks" worked fine for me time after time, they're a bit time consuming, but worth 10/12SB each so worth the effort if you're after getting SBs up quick.

    However, last couple of times I've diligently copied and pasted all the links as they ask, only to be told that half of the task was left incomplete. I've sent feedback saying it's unfair, but I doubt I'll ever hear anything back!

    Thats a non-referral link for Ipsos, they sometimes do product tests which are quite good as well. My friend had a big box of nappies turn up :) x
