    I don't use alerts, I just have a look when I know I've got a few minutes to spare.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Every, single pop up I have had since I was forced on to this plaguey new site has been for a study I can't do so the Prolific Assistant seems to have gone the way of all obsolete software. PA did say their new site might not be compatible with any of the alerts we use. Here's hoping someone comes up with one that works otherwise it's back to the old fashioned way, it seems.

    There you go.

    Another one I'm not eligible for -

    iOS Memory Game 2
    Available Places : 500/500
    Avg. Completion Time : 10mins
    Avg. Reward Per Hour : £9.31/hr
    Reward Per Hour estimated by researcher: £9.31/hr
    Maximum Allowed Time : 30mins
    Reward: £ 1.55

    Did anyone do the IOS Memory Game 6? £1.70 reward? You had to download an app and on finishing the study, (but completed as far as Academic Studies concerned) told to leave the app open to finish transferring info. The transfer stuck on 33% for me....after 20 mins I shut it down anyhoo. Just wondering if it was some kind of sneaky bluff thingy??

    Smodlet - not sure whether you mean copying and pasting your Prolific ID.

    If it is, after reserving your place in a study, click on your ID, (right-hand side) and press copy.

    HTH

    Dratted new site!!! I now have a problem with c & p.... I c & p my ID no as before but then the link to the study is not clickable for me (Mac user/Safari) so I have to c & p the study link info into me browser... then I lose the c & p'd ID info so have to type it in by hand...by which time the study is usually full...aaarrgghh!!

    How bizarre. I can still click copy once I have started the survey..

    Another reason not to use Macs :tongue::tongue: - have you told Prolific about this?

    I think PA realise there are still plenty of bugs to iron out (what a disgusting, squidgy mess that would make of your laundry, eeewww) They told me they were already working on the pre-screening questions bit when I told them it was not an improvement.

    Mine got to about 40% and I gave up.
    I don’t have any problems with c&p on my Mac.

    I had the same. I've used the same app in a previous similar survey a couple of weeks back which shut down before the end of the game but I still got paid. I did wonder at the time if they were testing for something else or if it was a glitch.

    People say that the Prolific Assistant shows every study instead of only the studies they are eligible for. I'm confused how that happens because when I go to the studies page, it only shows a study if I'm eligible for one or else it just shows the tea cup.

    Does the Prolific Assistant work for anyone on the new site?
