"Re:  Online File Storing and Sharing Service

Suppose that you would like to subscribe to an online file-storing and sharing service. The service includes 1 TB of space and additional file-sharing and collaboration tools. We would like to simulate the process of using voice search on the Internet.

To do so, please type the keyword "online file storing and sharing service" in the below box. Once the keyword you typed is displayed, please proceed to the next page".

If anyone managed to answer the question correctly would you please let me know?  I tried every possible answer and all were rejected.  I was timed out.  I was not able to find out what keyword was being referred to.

I had the same problem. I finished it and stated a technical issue.

I received three messages from the Researcher today.  I have not been paid at all and I don't quite understand the messages: Two identical messages:  "Thanks for telling me the technological issue. I do not know what happened and I need to check. Have a nice day."

Then a third message:

 

"Dear participant, I have checked this study, finding that the online file and storing service question is added validation which is not needed. I am sorry for this technical issue. I have paid this project when publishing this questionnaire. I do not know how to pay you again."

Ooh, sounds Interesting. I haven't done any AI work for the last three days because I've been too busy but need to get back to it and earn some money.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread so I don't know if this has been discussed recently.  I lost the pop-up notifications saying "new studies are available on prolific" some time ago.  The extension is still switched on in my "Extensions" centre, and "Notifications" are switched on as well.  I do have an adblocker but Prolific is allow-listed on there.
I didn't bother about it as I was busy over the summer but am now in a position to do more studies so would like to try and reactivate it if possible.  Has anyone had a similar problem? 

Edited: I've found the help article with the link to the Assistant - it says version 3.10 is available but when I go into the extension store on Chrome it just shows me 2.7 and says I've got it installed.  If I uninstall it (may as well since it doesn't seem to be working) will I then see the more up to date version to install?

2.7 is the rating, not the version no. The current version is 5.9.0. I don't think it's working, though - I can't remember when I last got a notification from it, and clicking on the icon just shows a blank popup.

The audible notification stopped months ago, but I do still get the on screen popup, and the little icon on the toolbar shows the number of surveys available when it checks every couple of minutes or so.

Anyone been having trouble cashing out? I have not tried to cash out but the cashout button is not showing instead I am seeing this message 
Sorry, it looks like your cashout is taking longer to process than usual. Please wait a few hours, and if you're still seeing the same message, then contact support and we'll look into this for you.

Despite sending 3 emails no response.
Just wondering is anyone else seeing this.

I’m still getting an audible notification plus the pop up and number icon. Never lost these features.

That sounds right? Your Prolific earnings aren't included in your PAYE tax because it's your first time filing. Once you've filed, if you do owe tax it can be deducted from your employment earnings through PAYE or you can just pay it when you file to simplify things.

I don’t want my tax code for my regular employment to be changed as the additional income amount fluctuates. I feel way over my head with all of this. 

I feel way over my head too with all of this, littlegreenant.  Thankfully all the help here really does make a huge difference.  I 'phoned HMRC and they pointed me in the right direction to complete Form SA1 on line for Self Assessment.  It is all a bit daunting but it's a start.

I have deleted my rather long-winded post and will ring HMRC again tomorrow.

I can’t  move a post alone to the tax forum, without moving the whole thread. 

Feel free to look on the tax forum for self employed earnings or post a new thread on that board.
