    since ive been having problems i clear them before every task just to be on the safe side - i even delete the bookmarklet and add a new one for every task just in case that was an issue too
  • I clear them a lot. It's just that the american sites go on so much about this generally expounding ccleaner for which I am not paying $20 to open an option and click clear history

    There's a free version, that works pretty well.

    Does anybody find the "Bookmarklet" thingy a bit flakey - a few times now ive been doing a task EXACTLY as instructed and the second time i use the bookmarklet as instructed to it tells me theres is an error because im supposed to be working on a different job completely unrelated to the one im doing. Or in some cases the Bookmarklet just tells me I have an error even if im doin EXACTLY what im supposed to be doing

    Im no stranger to crowd working jobs like this but never had this kind of issue so often... or is it just me!

    Sometimes that happens to me when doing a few of those kinds of tasks in a row. I think I just re-click the orange "Start Task" button and go through again as it might not of registered starting a new task properly. Also the websites that have a skippable redirect ad before actually going to the proper page will throw the tracker off, which might make it say "This isn't the page!" when it is. I think going back to search results and re-entering the site fixes that (as the redirect ad should only show up the first time you visit).

    I'm having a lot of trouble with the non Bookmarklet casino tasks though, keeps saying I haven't visited the page when I have. So I kinda wish more tasks had the Bookmarklet or that new Crowdflower Browser Tracker Add-On for verification instead of finicky browser cookies/caching. I haven't even bothered renewing the Bookmarklet thing in weeks and it still works for me!

    As far as I can tell you're only judged on tasks you actually Submit/Finish. Tasks you give up on midway will just time out and not count. Also for those tasks it's impossible to submit until it verifies everything anyway, so don't think you need to worry about it affecting accuracy. :)
