    This is just hanging on the first page for me. Anyone else have this? I click on >> and nothing happens. Not my day, PA-wise but at least I have a ping. :D

    PA is now totally dead, just buffers. One has to wonder what the point is, one really does.

    Site seems down to me.

    Haven't you been in a state about perpetual moan about PA for about a year now - chill :) :rotfl:

    My banking page is also crawling - and thats a much bigger organisation. It happens :)

    So it is probably about time you learned not to take things so literally and stopped being so patronising. Since I clearly need to spell it out for you, my default setting is sardonic humour. :p
  • Site is so buggy today. Keep getting the same study pop up but it's full. Now keep getting an error trying to start a study. Lost £2.75 worth today through technical errors

    Update on the above, what a lovely researcher.

    Thanks for your email and apologies for this – it seems that Prolific.ac itself is having some technical issues. We are trying to get in touch with the support team to fix the issue.

    Thanks for your participation and we’ll make sure you’re reimbursed for your time.

    Maybe it is worth contacting PA to see if they will recompense you, in view of the fact it is they who are causing the issue, according to researcher Joe.
  • Worked okay for me Smodlet and my ping is working too! No 404/503 sloblocks here today hurrah! :D

    Makes a fine change :)
