I was offered a 40 minute study, but failed at entering my prolific ID, it kept saying invalid number :sad:

Ah this isn't ideal.

I had the same issue and contacted the researcher who was very apologetic and said they had reached their quota of responses. Hmm ok

Surely the quota is set up at the start of the study, and you don't get in if all the places have been taken? I would be suspicious and possibly contact PA.

I don't see the point of researcher saying that the places have been taken if they haven't. Either they want sufficient people or they don't. In my case there were few places already taken, but I've not had a reply yet.

Just had another one fail on me. I got as far as entering the survey when the survey said that I'd already completed it. So odd that I was offered it again.

A lot of time wasting on this.

Got this one earlier:

For Females Only: Face Memory & Perception Skills
Hosted by Sarah Bate
£1.70•20 minutes• £5.10/hr •55/55

Quite a fun one, although it did remind me how absolutely dire I am at memorising faces. I may well be skewing their data set :rotfl:

I've had a few recently that wouldn't accept my Prolific ID because the box was only able to accept numbers, and the ID is a mix of numbers and letters. Messaged both researchers advising that that field needs to accept alphanumeric characters instead of just numeric, and got slightly clueless responses both times.

Never assume maliciousness when plain old stupidity and incompetence will explain it, I guess. :cool:

In both of the studies, if I deleted all the letters and just left the numbers in my prolific ID, it let me carry on as normal and both have paid out - including the £5 survey. (but obviously there's a chance they'll come back and say they can't validate it, so on your own heads be it)

I would have tried that if it had been a short survey, this one was half an hour and that is too long with a risk of not accepting it.

I've just done a 20 minute survey about memory that required using the microphone.
