i think I labelled them all as they were all green. No reply yet from the researcher anyway!

Yes, I did that one as well. It wasn’t allowing me to do the end button for each conversation then it missed one conversation out.
I had to do each conversation, pause it and then restart to get the completed bit for each conversation. I did get a code in the end though but am expecting some queries from the researcher. It did take the full hour so they’d better pay up properly.

I have had the exact same issue ended up going back over them all twice and STILL didnt get a code - have also reported it as a NO CODE to the researcher. I will not be happy if they don't pay up as this took up quite a lot of my time.

That one was really confusing I thought. I went through all the conversations, then went back and clicked the 'End Labelling' button for each one. Once I did that, the link back to Prolific appeared at the top of the screen, above the instructions. It only took me 45 minutes to go through all of them, so I'm hoping I don't get rejected for going too quickly!

I woke to an e-mail from Jim directing me to this one and there were still places left.  I think I will give it a miss but if available later I may have time to spare.

Thanks for all the info regarding the issues encountered.

Two disappointments this morning: one, a 40 minute study about "wolfs", which just showed a black screen and then after a while a 504 error, and the other, a shorter study which after the intro page just said "Participants only lives in United States can take part in this study." So presumably I shouldn't have been offered that one in the first place. Both returned.

<edit> And a third one, about cybercrime, the study link of which just goes to a course overview page on the university website. Rather poor quality control from today's researchers.

Olliebean- I got the United States one too. It didn't say you had to live in the US in the initial blurb so clicked on it only to get that same message as you.

I've just this minute got the wolfs one through too. I got the black screen with the message "researcher does not have enough credit to run this survey".  I've had to return too.

I got this as well - screening participants like this is a big no-no, and I did consider submitting with NOCODE and making a fuss, but for the reward on offer it just wasn't worth it (in my view). Still, very frustrating.
