The mindful personality?

Has anyone had this one today? It popped up on Prolific Assistant with 150 places and when I immediately clicked to open in a new window it showed zero places and full after only around 20 seconds later. Is it possible so many places can be reserved that quickly or could it be a glitch in the system?

Yes, albion22, I had exactly the same experience with The mindful personality this morning.   I clicked on the link immediately it appeared (about the same -150 places) and it was full.  Yesterday, although I cannot remember the name of the study now, I clicked on a link immediately it arrived when there were about 67 places and, again, it immediately showed 'Study full.'

'Study full' happens to me quite a lot and earlier this week, for about a day and a half, every single Study came back as 'Study full' when there purported  to be quite a number of places left.  I'm sure I miss links but when logged in I click on any as quickly as they arrive.

Interestingly enough, early this morning when I logged on there were two Study notifications 'waiting.'  I clicked on the shorter one and submitted it successfully then noticed that the other one was still available - so completed that one too.

I'm not sure what Prolific's system is but, since I usually enjoy the studies very much, I'll just keep being pleased to take the opportunities when allowed to.

I also experienced the same using prolific assistant. The notification came to me after 60 seconds but when clicked, no spots left. The other time, there was some study showing very few number of spots like 10 or 20, but it is filled real fast, it actually had 100 places. So i thought nothing wrong with the extension, it just that my click was too slow. Then i found a new assistant, it not only finds the study after a minute, but also helps me to reserve a place for me, so i don't have to literally starting at the screen all the time.

That's  interesting, thank you yoyobigfoot.  I have Prolific Assistant on my Firefox browser (laptop) but if I happen to be using my tablet at the same time (Chrome) the notifications arrive about 30 seconds before Firefox.  Unfortunately still mostly already full.

I had a successful short study this afternoon ... so there is some limited success and better than no studies at all.

Has anyone got the link for the extension in Edge? I did have it installed until about a week ago and now can't find it in the Edge store (I rarely use Chrome and don't ever use firef0x, so those ones are no good to me)

If you go to the Chrome Store in Edge, you should see a message at the top of the page prompting you to allow extensions from other stores. Once you've done that, you should be able to install the Chrome extension in Edge.

Anyone do that stupid ‘peaky and stretchy’ survey today? Attention check is pure guesswork. Pointless.

Sounds like the head motion study; definitely deteriorating, Prole Iffy, sort it!
