Got one I had to return because they wanted US residents. Something awry with prolific's screening there.
Otherwise I'm in the tumbleweed zone at the moment.

I was offered two today for people with children in certain age ranges - my daughter has just turned 52, so I should never have been offered those surveys.

Did you get a bonus? 
Mine was based on a season that had a possibility of being extreme at 60% and I would have to pay 475 points! I got 0.

Yes I got the bonus mines was based on the fact I paid 400 was normal conditions and the amount I chose to pay was under the 484 so I got the £5 to be honest I just put 400 for all of them.

Oh, fair enough. I thought it might be rigged for nobody to receive it, but obviously wasn't.

It definitely was not rigged as I got season 4, which was extreme and, had I not paid (I think) 450 for protection which actually cost 53, I would have lost the whole lot.  As it is, I was told I would receive £4.47 so well happy; not that I'm counting chickens.

On another study, and I do hope this will not be construed as cheating, has anyone yet succeeded in making the submarine go backwards?  I sure can't.

If you use Firefox, and keep the Prolific tab open, it will pop up with a number whenever there is something for you, in the same way that Gmail does.

This doesn't seem to work any more; the Prolific tab title just says "Prolific" all the time, with no number on it to show when there are studies available. I don't seem to be getting notifications from the Prolific Assistant add-on any more either, despite it now being officially supported by Prolific. So I'm having to keep Prolific open and visible in a separate window to the side, so I can see the studies actually appear on the page when they come.

I still get the number popping up in chrome. Never managed to get the assistant to work though.

I have both the alerts and the tiny number in brackets but who notices that anyway?  I use chrome.
