Prolific Academic Survey Alerts

[Deleted User]

I tried the link in this forum to contact Prolific  but I have not had success in opening an email link.   I  cannot seem to log in to Prolific and if anyone has a link to contact them I would really appreciate it.  

When I try to log in it says:  "500 - Looks like we're having some issues".

I cannot see a link to report it and it advises to report it if the problem persists.

An UPDATE at7.38 p.m. - the site seems to be working hpnow - 'Waiting for Studies.'

Thank you.

The homepage prolific.co is fine for me, but it won't log in to app.prolific.co, just hangs.  Oddly enough, the survey alert is still working and I got the mechanic voice saying "new studies are available on Prolific", but I can't get to them!

Oh, it just did and showed two studies, but when I pressed refresh, it hung again.  Maybe it's just very very slow.  Which isn't much use when studies fill up in seconds!

I was going to leave it til tomorrow and then maybe log something through the help page.

I have already done £3.40 worth of submissions, and am very happy with Prolific.

I did the one about matching faces which was worth £2.50. It was about forensic face matching. I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile and contributing to science in a little way. 

I have got over £2.3k on Prolific now - its generally and quite easily the best of the survey providers.

Although that said at this exact second it is fishing me off because its not loading properly....flippin IT.

Oh wow, how long did that take you to earn that much? 
 
I earnt another £1 earlier today while doing a Zoom meeting    I had to imagine myself on a board of directors on big company and what that would entail and how I would behave. Took about 6 minutes (they said 4)

I joined in 2017 - but I do also work full time so I dont get as much as maybe some other people do. Generally its solid and I rarely get a DQ. I use it in conjunction with Qmee and to a smaller extent Swagbucks. And Populous / YouGov, but surveys are much less frequent with those two.

I recommend you get the Prolific extension on Google Chrome, which alerts you for new surveys and is helpful - note the extension is not officially from Prolific.

It looks like I can get back into Prolific now

Indeed, literally put in my Prolific ID and then said it had been recorded! Have contacted researcher.

The site seems to be working again - I have just been able to log in.

Thank you.

  - I spoke too soon - it's  back to the 500 notice.  I'll try again tomorrow.  If anyone can give a link to contact Prolific when not able to log in I'll really appreciate  it, thank you.

Site now showing a 503 error - Down for maintenance.  I tried to do a survey about 20 minutes ago, but it just wouldn't load.

The site is now showing 503 - Down for maintenance, and the Prolific Assistant add-on is also showing an error.

Really annoying. I was in the middle of a long study that paid £4 but, although I now have a completion code (could see it on the final submitted screen) Prolific stopped working so the end of the study won't transfer me back and I can't enter it in the Prolific study start screen either as it just hangs. I can't message the researcher either as that isn't working and also hangs. I'll be annoyed if I've spent 30 minutes on a study and I don't get my £4!
