    Yes, same for me. On Downdetector it shows there’s a problem.

    Just taken me over 10 minutes to do the submit bit on a study. I messages the researcher my completion code, but it was timed out. Prolific are aware and are working on it.

    It has been approved, but it took probably as long to submit as do it!

    (And now mse is doing that double letter thing again 😥

    What is "The double letter thing" moginstein?

    I'm just getting a blank screen just now.

    Since the forum changed a few months ago, sometimes when I type (this is on mse) it will duplicate letters, so what you write comes out as garbage.

    IItIt'behavung now

    I just typed "it's behaving now", and got the above! Spoke too soon (although I'm guessing I also had a typo in there.

    Prolific now looks normal but no studies showing, but the page they put up when it had a warning that they were experiencing difficulties still shows as currently experiencing some issues.

    Still down, but now the maintenance sign is up. Guys, let this be a warning to cash out at the end of your daily session and to not let it accumulate!
