  • How do you set up the alerts on an open tab when new studies appear?
    Just trying to make up for past mistakes and work towards the future I want :hello:
  • Completed seventeen studies 7th to 14th, have had nothing since. I guess they must have a rota system for their participant base and I have been put out to pasture! It's a bit frustrating to keep checking and find zilch...

    Getting a steady amount of 1 study a day, although the amount of pre-screening questions i'm getting lately is getting ridiculous

    I'm lucky to get one a week, these days. Glad it's better for you guys. Maybe things will warm up in the Spring, huh?

    And me, I guess, but don't know how. The only one it could be was to close any irrelevant browser tabs. I did leave one open; keeping it open was relevant to me, and I didn't really think they could tell anyway, but I guess that was enough.
  • The same thing happened to me. I did not think any one could see browser tabs on my computer. Did anyone manage to complete it? I wonder if it is worth complaining?

    First studyI have had for ages so it was a novelty for me, and I was probably reading it a bit slower than usual. I spotted one Attention Check question, but only just. It had nothing to do with browser tabs. I did complete study ok, I think.
