    I've only ever attempted the tasks once and that was the infamous 'Ken Fisher' one, its apparently broke and never credited me. not been near tasks since!

    The instructions for that one are definitely broken, IMHO

    Just had a nice and easy TS on broadband etc, 50 sbs for about 5 minutes. I've now got enough to cash out £25 PayPal but I cashed out £10 on the 28th November and its still only showing as verified so I'm a little wary of trying for another payment before that one clears. Does anyone know if it normally takes the full 14 working days?

    I wouldn't worry too much - sometimes they can take 14 days. I have found that my Amazon ones take between 7 and 10 days to credit. Occasionally they credit within a couple of days and a few weeks ago they were taking around the full 14 days to credit. :)

    I looked at it the other day but it asked me to go to google.com as well as google.co.uk and record all the search results. My browser wouldn't let me go to google.com as it kept defaulting to co.uk so I gave up. I don't think the task is broken though.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Is anyone working the 'Tasks' at the moment? Especially the 'Ken Fisher' one?

    There is one 12sb Ken Fisher one that is broken - they have been told about it numerous times, but they don't seem to do anything about it. There are some 6sb Fisher tasks that keep appearing (I can't remember exactly what they are called, but it's something like 'search for the contents of a website and re-tweet) and they are quite easy and work OK. The majority of the tasks are too time consuming for the amount of sb you earn, in my opinion, but I have been doing some called 'Topic Relevance for Articles' for 3sb. They were quite easy and quick to do. The best ones are the casino tasks which come out at midnight, but you have to be lightning quick to get the majority of them :)

    I think it's the second part of the task which won't work - the one that asks you to hit enter to search for 'Ken Fisher', unless they have mended it and broken it again with the google.com thing

    If you type in the URL address 'google.com/ncr' it will take you to the google.com search. I found that it will then let you type in either .com or .co.uk and it will take you to the relevant search page, but it still appears to keep .co.uk as the default search engine (this is in chrome)

    This is a survey on BT customer service. So BT customers will get through to this most likely (as I did). Took about 10 minutes to complete so time advised was spot on.
