Have you filled out all of the profile sections on the About You page?  If they are not all completed, then you are unlikely to be selected for certain studies.

I do most of my surveys on my ipad. And use my PC for those specific PC ones if I have the computer on. And as its currently on the blink won't do many more that way for a while! For the last week or so I however cannot complete any surveys on my ipad. When I click on reserve I get an error box in the top R/H corner saying "Error Sorry we can't creat a new submission for you as you currently have an active submission. Please complete or return the submission assciated with study, before starting a new submission".

Each time I have no outstanding  surveys just the current one I clicked on. At this point you can't view your profile or any other Prolific screen until you choose the Not interested buttom! And them you lose that survey. I have losted about 5 surveys so far including a part 4 one where I have succesfully completed the first three parts. Most annoying!

I have contacted Prolific but only an auto reply back so far. Anyone else encountered this issue?   

Yep - I had it on my phone for a couple of weeks maybe a month ago. Really annoying and - like you - I lost quite a few surveys. It eventually just cleared

I haven't encountered that specific problem (I always do the surveys on my desktop), but often that type of thing can be fixed by clearing your cache and cookies.  It's worth a try.

I had the following conversation with a researcher recently. It seems unfair to me that she wants to reject my submission simply because I gave the same rating for a set of questions.

Researcher: Could you return your submission?

Me: Why? I completed it.

Researcher: too many same scores

11 Aug 2020, 18:03

Me: What do you mean? If I felt the same way regarding the questions that were posed then surely that is what I should put. Otherwise, it is being dishonest.

Researcher: Unfortunately, I am not satisfied with the quality of the data you provided, too many same scores in one question. Could you return your submission? Thanks.

Me: It is perfectly plausible to have the same score when the questions are similar (or even if they are not). You will need to provide an example of why the "same score" is unacceptable. Otherwise I wil raise this with Prolific is you do not accept my submission without good reason.
