    I've just got this message from the researcher now:-

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It seems there was a technical glitch in the questionnaire. My sincerest apologies, you will be compensated accordingly.

    Did everybody else get a message?

    Not sure how I'll get compensated though as I returned the survey when I got screened out.

    I returned it without completing, so I guess I won't get the payout. Probably a lot of people did the same.

    502 error for me. Have not been able to get on it for hours. I think it's had it.

    Yeah I submitted it then sent the researcher a message x

    I never return surveys like that, I always hit complete and message the researcher what has happened, and offer to complete it in full. It is at the end of the day, your time wasted and their fault.

    The website is utterly dire right now, fortunatly Ive had a survey already today, and a £5 survey from populous, else I would be fumming.

    Thanks mikep22 for offering the screenshot. I messaged the researcher again and I've now been paid - yay!

    Their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/prolificac/posts/?ref=page_internal

    Might be worth spamming them about how **** the website is...

    I was just messaging them on facebook, apparently the listener (chrome extension) is not made by them, which was news to me....
