Anyone else find their balance is really slow to update in the new site? I got an email to say approved a good half an hour before it showed in my balance on the site. Submissions seem to take an age to be added to pending balance too

I find I have to manually hit refresh for it to do so, but it is always there to be fair.

It is just that I do not recall having given that information to Circle when I signed up with them, although I may be misremembering. I found it odd to be asked for my dob and address when I have been cashing out every month since the swap to Circle without being asked for those details, and I am asking to cash out to the same bank account, not trying to change any details.

I am just wary of handing out personal info that I do not think I have given out before, and could not see why Circle would suddenly need it. I do not know how they could verify it if I had not given it out before. They would not let me cash out without giving the details, so I had no choice. I was only asking the question on here to see if anyone else had encountered the same thing, thats all.

Not just you C J. Happened to me too last week.

About the page monitor for study updates.

In Distill, instead of setting it to monitor the whole page, if you select to monitor part of the page and select only the 'Studies' part of the page it seems to check the page for changes.

I don't know if it works yet to alert for new studies because I haven't had a study since, but it shows the 'Studies' part of the page in the Distill Watchlist history.

Social media and lifestyle study 3
Hosted by wbs.ac.uk
£0.50 !!!8226; 5 minutes !!!8226; £6.00/hr !!!8226; 5/1798

Requires Twitter (not stated), requires committing to a post about litter to continue with the study. Returned. Seems to be one of a bevy of twitter based litter studies, social experiment or genuine concern?


Edit: Sent the researcher a disapproving message and have just been sent response accepted!

You don't have to tweet the message to complete the study. :-)

No, but I was required to commit to the tweet to proceed and I didn't wish to annoy my followers with that tweet. My response has been approved dispite returning the study.

You could just continue on the survey - it gave you the option to tweet it or not.

Mine didn't, perhaps there's several options, a control group etc?

The researcher just replied, saying they'd mistakenly omitted the Twitter requirement and that tweeting was supposed to be optional and part of the study.
