    yeah ive been closing the window on any that dont work to try and avoid that happening - its annoying though cos these tasks are some of the easiest ive ever done!


    I assume you've done the basics:

    run a virus scan
    updated browser to latest version
    disabled all addons
    checked website to see which is preferred browser

    Yep - its weird really ill do three four or five tasks in a row successfully then suddenly ill get a random error - biggest culprit being the Youtube & Twitter pages i have to use the bookmarklet on.

    Tonight i get the same fault on the same part of the same tasks that i couldnt complete last night - im not bothered theres plenty of others but i am concerned about my accuracy cos im assuming not completing jobs ive started counts against me

    You need to think about partitioning your life. You need a separate computer for this stuff. If you are tech savy investigate profiles within browsers. Most of these jobs require you to be logged out of any accounts. My basic impression is that you are logged on to something probably twitter and you don't know it.

    Just got a bonus for Create Descriptions for Beautiful Images task, I think. I'm sure they credited at the time, but have just received some more sbs for it. Is that normal? Never done those tasks before.

    I had a similar problem. I did loads of Tasks, and then suddenly it was telling me, you didn't type in the text on the google homepage. Well I did. I went to google, as I had with the last 13 tasks I had done and typed in the text. I did nothing different.

    I have noticed though, if you look next to the task before you click into it, if it's got good star rating, I.e feedback, they usually work quite well. The ones with no ratings don't usually work for me, which I assume is because nobody can complete them and nobody can leave feedback so they are blank. I.e no star rating.
