Thanks for updating - I'm still away and haven't dared even check my messages!  I'm not surprised the quality has dropped - I really wasn't enjoying them before I left.

I haven't done any for a little while either. Nor have I been able to do the image ones, apparently my laptop screen isn't big enough.

For the image ones I have to change the scale from 125% to 100% to start them - then back again when I've finished. Right click on desktop > Display Settings.

Lots of fact checking studies up today but no update on the guidelines yet. I guess just do your best and follow the old instructions as well as possible. I will try and do some later. I can't keep putting off doing them since they're my best earner.

I must be in a different group to you guys because I’ve not had any messages, but I don’t get the fact checking ones.

I'm having a go today. The ones up for me are all still on normal pay and a bit easier to manage within the original 1 hour time.

The new fact checking guidelines are up. I haven't read them yet but hopefully they will make things clearer. They might also put more studies up now that they improved the guidelines.

Appreciate the new guidance, it is clear and helpful. Though going through all the steps and points they suggest, eg. checking the credentials of authors when reading a research piece, I am beginning to wonder even more, if the 50-minute tasks will be a bridge too far. Far, far too short a time frame, in a lot of cases.

I did a study yesterday which had a study time of 1 minute for .15p and I had it rejected because they said I completed it too quickly lol

Anyone finding studies disappearing from their main page - not the sort that fill up, but ones that seem to come and go with several thousand places?

I had one that did just that and found the link was cached on my notification widget and was able to start the study via that, even though it was no longer showing on my main studies page?
