Just had a survey that wanted me to confirm consent before it even started by typing my full first and last name at the bottom of the form

I completed a survey but returned it by accident I was meant to return a different one. Can I still ask to be paid0

If you don't ask you won't get, so may be worth a try.[Deleted User] said:I completed a survey but returned it by accident I was meant to return a different one. Can I still ask to be paid0 -

Had 3 surveys today totalling £17. Best day ever by far. Two of them were about cognitive ability, one leading to a week of surveys every month for the next 6 months. Hopefully my marbles don't deteriorate too much in that time.

Anyone having any issues with the site at the moment?
I’m away from home and since the iOS updated, the site won’t load.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

It is working fine for me. Are you out of the country, or just in a different part of the UK?

Anyone do one called ' Evaluating intentions of others'. It was for 50 minutes for £6.
I spent around 30 minutes doing a very boring selection task only to have it fail to upload the results at the end and tell me that there was a gateway error. I messaged the researcher as I didn't want to start it all over again - it was sending me to sleep. Didn't hear anything back so I cancelled it in the end.
I wish they would get these studies to work properly so I don't keep wasting my time. It's making me think I wont try any long studies any more as it's so frustrating when something goes wrong near to the end.0 -
Yes, I did that one but mine did upload (waiting for review still though). I thought it was an awful survey as well - really complicated instructions and lengthy quiz about whether I understood those instructions - and then no way to check back on the instructions when doing the task and I wasn't sure about a fairly key point so have no idea whether I was doing it right or not!willowcat27 said:Anyone do one called ' Evaluating intentions of others'.
