    I had a few on the old site before I got told to use the new one, where I would click a study and it would take me to the page and say it was now full, but still show available places on that new page... v annoying :cool:

    Lower middle class apparently.

    But it sounds more like a pasta dish!:eek:

    It's French... But I understand what you mean. Not a noodle dish, then.
  • According to Prolific the new site updates the studies tab once per minute.. have seen it in the corner of my eye sometimes with new studies but I don't seem to catch them quickly enough :cool:

    It was almost exactly this time last year that studies fell off a cliff for me 14 July was my last decent day- and its been a desert ever since. However the new site does tell me that I have done over 600 studies so I guess they are aiming them more at the newbies.

    You seem to have been on here a while for a "newbie", Brookside88, not in any way meant to sound negative; your contributions are valuable but I think PA's customers prefer participants who are still wet from the yolk, if you know what I mean. As soon as you have done a couple of dozen studies, you stop smelling so fresh to researchers, imho.
