Am working from home today so have Prolific on in the background.  Just got a £5 for 14 mins study. 



Am just over half way through and encountered this:



Looks like the researcher hasn't paid for enough surveys on the platform it is using.  What a pain. 

I am not sure what has happened today.  The survey doesn't appear in my submissions.  If I hadn't posted here I wouldn't have even known what survey it was.  How very odd. 

I got the same message and contacted the researcher. He responded: 

"Dear participant, (this is a copy-paste message): Thank you for letting me know. There was an error somewhere, resulting in this problem. But this was the last task, and you should have recived the completion code via email regardless. I will go through and approve everyone manually, regardless of the status for that last task."

I completed the study at the time as "nocode" and it is still awaiting review?

Thanks for that.  Very odd that it has completely disappeared (as if I never did it) from my submissions.  Perhaps a secondary glitch.  It was there as I messaged during the survey and then after so know it was on my list.

no one can really help other than to say - nocode won't necessarily mean you won't get paid, but if I were you I would message the researcher and say what happened and that you entered the nocode after waiting 10 mins.

Yes, that what I'd do; the researcher is likely to find it helpful to know that you had a problem - if you say nothing they are likely assume that you didn't complete but claimed the award anyway, the explanation provides the context.

Color naming experiment (Chrome browser required, 9 minutes)

By Nori Jacoby

£0.15 • £8.91/hr

10 mins

"You did not complete Color naming experiment (Chrome browser required, 9 minutes) on time and you were timed out."

This is an unusual one for me.  From start to finish, including time to read the instructions, I took about 17 minutes.  There was no warning during the actual Study, at the time, that I had been timed out and, as a result, I kept going to the end of the Study.  

At the end I received a completion code and, strangely, received a bonus payment but not the  15 pence for the actual Study.  The Study is marked as "Timed out." 

I am not complaining because I really appreciate being awarded the bonus  - £1.34.  Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi yes exactly the same to me
 I got £1.64 for the bonu but timed out without reliing it was timed. I also couldn't see boxe to type the colour blind numbers. It does say you aren't penalised but will prob contact the researcher.

I'm just struggling to work out how 15p for 10 minutes equates to £8.91/hr...

Right enough, olliebean, it doesn't work out.  Maybe the Researcher, mistakenly, included the maximum possible bonus?  My bonus (£1.34 for 17 minutes) would then = about £4.72 per hour.

Where are all the studies - or is it just me? There should be an animation of tumbleweed blowing across the prolific screen.  I've only done 4 all week, netting me a grand total of £5.24.

It has been very quiet again this week. All I've had today is 50p today. Seem to be so many now that are already full when they pop up, or they allow you to accept and then say they are full once you get into them and you have to return them.
