Thanks willowcat27.  I agree that we probably won't  hear from the researcher but, if I hear anything, I'll post back.

Just had a survey on Understanding Cognitive Flexibility give the award in my account balance almost the second I completed it.

Same here Deleted_User. I can't get past the log in page for the video either.  I have also just contacted the researcher but don't expect a response.  It's so annoying when they don't format the studies properly.

Received  a message from the Researcher saying it was a technical problem and is in touch with Prolific to see how/if it can be sorted.

1、This study focuses on organisational employees' feelings about their parental role and related work-life experiences, and your responses will provide a scientific basis for exploring approaches to employee work-family balance. 

2、If you want to participate in our study, you need to invite your supervisor to participate together (for the subsequent distribution of the questionnaire and the award, your supervisor must also have a Prolific ID). 

3、What you need to do is to follow our instructions and forward the corresponding link to your supervisor in the later questionnaire to complete the registration.  Only if both you and your supervisor complete our questionnaire and are successfully matched will you be considered eligible to participate in our subsequent studies.

4、Our study will last about two weeks over three time points. You and your supervisor will fill in separate questionnaires. Specifically, you will fill in a total of three questionnaires, one week apart from each other, and your supervisor will only need to fill in a questionnaire in the last week. Each questionnaire will take no more than 5 minutes. You both will be paid for each completion.

This study was waiting when I logged on this morning and there are still places left two hours later as I type this.

Your supervisor has to participate along with you and also have a Prolific ID, which is interesting and I wonder how many participants meet that criteria?

A while ago, I completed a short longitudinal study that involved my manager, but she did not have a Prolific account and I just had to provide her e-mail address, which I did (with her consent!) and the researcher sent her a couple of questionnaires to complete (about me!).

My manager got rewarded with a £10 Amazon voucher, which she kindly gave to me, so I wasn't complaining, with my reward on top as well.

I've had that happen on a few studies over the past few days. It must be new as it's never happened before.

Yes I've also had a few which have tracked immediately too - I just had one this morning on spending decisions which did this.

Also has anyone else noticed that Prolific have changed their website a little.  Your balance is no longer automatically displayed when you log in to Prolific, but there is a separate category "Balance" next to the "About You" category which you click into.

Yes, koala987, I noticed the change.  The balance is showing but I can't see the figure for the pending ones - the studies not yet approved.

rather unintuitively despite their recent new addition of a 'balance' tab - the pending balance figure is not there and still in it's old place of your top right initials menu > account > general > pending balance

[clicking the transfer your money button on the new balance tab will jump you there too]

I've seen quite a few decently paying studies - i.e., paying in pounds rather than penc

I'm not keen on this change - I like to see my balance without having to click through. Also, two clicks now necessary to reach the Account page, where previously a single click on the balance shown in the top bar would do it.

I never found it so easy - I would have to click on the balance to update it, and sometimes I could not use it to click through anyway without refreshing the Studies page first.
