    Thank you for such a nice welcome. :)

    I've never heard of circle and was wary of signing up to something with presumably no protection. I will look again.

    All my catagories now have full marks, but i still have a little 5.
    Oh well!

    You are welcome. I have found your posts on other threads articulate and informative so thank you.

    I, too was extremely wary of Circle.com but several of the lovely people on here tried it first and helped me through the unholy mess I made of trying to sign up to it. I am severely technically challenged. :o To date, I have had no problems with it but its required level of security is so high some have had issues. Every time I log in, I have to input a security code sent to the mobile phone.

    Paypal is much easier but does take some of your hard earned dosh so it's the principle, really. I know not what the little 5 is about. Perhaps mikep may; he's technical, is mikep.

    Well, I bet you didn't complain as much as I did about the clothing study! :p Poor, poor Tina. I don't think many researchers would have gone to one tenth of the trouble on our behalf as she did, bless her. I found myself almost having to sell PA to her because I would like more studies from her. She is a good egg, imho.

    I think it might be nice if mikep apologised to her but it is entirely up to him, of course. I am just glad my instinct was right but his might easily have been the correct assumption.

    I would have done if I'd been doing the study :rotfl:

    Attitudes and decisions study 75p for 5 minutes. It took me longer than that.
    Don't mess with pensioners. :cool:

    Voice recording on iPhones has just come up £12 for 90 minutes.

    Time sensitive question. If you click on a study, do you need to complete it immediately? That one for 90 minutes, I could do tomorrow but not today. Is that possible? Say only looking for 1 person, so I don't want to mess things up for them (or for me being new to this).

    second edit of my post. I can see the instructions on the next page.

    Really sorry for all the questions. I seem to be offered a study I've completed hours earlier. Obviously I'm not going to do it again, but should this happen?

    No but are you sure it is exactly the same study? Not a slightly different version (this happens) or indeed a second part of a multi part study?

    The questions can be really repetitive. New participants tend to receive loads of study invites; it tapers off after a while so I would make hay while the sun shines, silvercar and be prepared for the fallow season. Go for it!

    ETA: Please don't apologise for the questions; this is a forum after all.

    The title had the addiction of a "C" at the end of it, so maybe I missed out there.

    Day 1 and I've earned £1.35. Missed out on £12 because I didn't have 90 minutes to spare.
