    @ Olly, I did actually try both swagbucks and Neo, but didn't like any of them, so no longer use them.

    @ OW, My accuracy has stayed pretty stable tbh, its at 92%, and had actually moved up 1 place in the last few days. I do understand what you're saying though. And yes I think Brian is the best of them, I remember saying to him about maybe soon getting level 2, and within a few hours I had my badge.

    I have received a reply from them, they asked me to send a list of my Contributor IDs. I still have neobux and gift hunter ID's, which I had actually forgot about, as I don't use them. So I sent what they asked for and I await their reply.

    Hi, I am trying to do some different tasks than my normal. Twice I have tried to do the Review a Website task and I can't get further than the first question - What position was that search result - when I put in 1, 1 or anything similar, I get a red box saying Please enter a positive integer. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    You just enter a number eg. 5 if it's in 5th position (even if it's 5th on page 3). Quite what use this information is I don't know, maybe just to check you're paying attention.

    I think using mulitple sites to access CF can cause problems i know i had problems with proxy ip addresses when using others and was denied my badges until brian resolved it. He did say only use CS I think rachelb had a similar problem while Katy had somewhat different problem but if memory is right both were caused by using other websites to access CF.
    But as you have only used CS recently that can't be the problem.

    Hopefully now someone is on the case it will be corrected ASAP good luck :)

    Thank you.

    Yes, they should be able to check and see that I don't use either Neobux or Gifthunter. I guess I'll just have to try and be patient.

    My errors, relating to having the level 3 badges and not being able to access the tasks, is a Crowdflower error, again :) I've never used another website to access CF, I used Swagbucks once about 18 months ago but always CS until the errors started.

    The problems I've previously had include this same problem, being flagged incorrectly on a job (which they fixed but only after ignoring me for several weeks) and now I'm not able to access level 1, 2 or 3 tasks via Clixsense or Neobux. Clixsense have contacted Crowdflower for me to try and get it sorted but last time they just sent me automated replies for 3 months.

    Anyone who has been told that errors are being looked into, to provide ID numbers or anything similar is likely receiving an automated message their system sends out. Unless your message has a specific name on it (e.g Brian or Michael) it literally hasn't even been read by a real person. Also, if CF say to you that you should be banned, shouldn't be banned, were flagged, or that there is an error affecting loads of people it could be !!!!!!!! to be honest. Earlier this year they told me I should have been banned and then when they finally got to me 2-3 months later they said that was an error! So nothing they say means much.

    My latest error was just affecting Clixsense but then it spread to Neobux, and both times after the 42C task, so I imagine the author has flagged me, and others, but of course Crowdflower aren't forthcoming with information. :rotfl:

    Frankly I'm not letting it bother me this time, obviously I would like to get back in, but I know from past experience they couldn't care less and I will get back in if and when someone decides to bother looking into it and clear the tracking on my account, which seems to have sorted it the last time.

    I will try to still post here but hope everyone does well, my advice though is if you can't access level 1, 2 or 3 on CS but you can on somewhere else - don't get used to it :)

    Just to clarify - My problems were not caused before by a proxy server, by a redirection error or by being banned/flagged, it was just 'one of those things' and when they bothered to sort my tracking on my account it was all back to normal, also, my accuracy hasn't dropped lately and is still around the 91-92% mark.

    Sorry if that doesn't help anyone, and sorry I can't give more help with the errors and problems, despite having had almost every single error myself :rotfl: Hope it doesn't sound like I'm being offish, I'm not, just posting in a rush x

    Crowdflower told me that just using one website would stop the problem from happening. I stuck to using just Clixsense and then I had someone elses jobs on my task history, so they sorted that, and yet I've still had the problem again.

    I was then told that they would delete my IDs which they didn't and so I then decided sod it I will use Neobux, and the same problem happened there. I'm now using InstaGC but sure it is just a matter of days before I'm out there as well!

    They had the cheek to say to me, in the one human reply I received, that the error must be sorted as I completed 4 casino tasks (and raised 17 verification error tickets).

    To be honest I'm enjoying the mini hiatus, spending more time around my home, baking more, seeing my family more and working on my other websites and little bits and bobs more :) Thanks though xx

    hey katy, I thought that they had fixed your recent problem this time around, but your doing the right thing, don't let it wind you up, but maybe still send them messages once in the while, let them know yor still there, I dunno if that will help, just a suggestion really, its good that you have other sites to make money on.

    My problem was fully fixed, I think about 5-6 weeks ago, and had a good few weeks since then but now the problems are building up the same way again. It's ok as I've got other websites to go on and other things to fill my time.

    Thanks for the suggestion about messaging them but if you send more than one ticket they just reply that it is a duplicate ticket and that they have closed it LOL! So not really worth the effort, anyway saves me time pestering them which in itself is a waste of time really. I will reply to my existing ticket once a week or something but really can't be bothered. On the plus side these days most of my earnings come from other websites anyway and I kept things going during the few weeks I could task :rotfl:

    I appreciate the nice message though, so thanks :)
