Funny how whenever websites move or are updated they always suffer glitches and you wonder why they bother!

Seems to be working again now, I managed to start a study anyway - unfortunately the study itself involved chatting with a chatbot which failed to load, so that was a waste of time.

 Just trying to load, whirring round without getting as far as the error message.

Quick tip for those who feel they aren't being invited to many studies, check your about me page, mine was at 99% and I hadn't realized, I updated it and had more studies come through, worth a go.

10 minute study

By Robin Musolff

I really struggled with this Study and, after 22 minutes, I still couldn't understand well enough to pass the comprehension tests.  I was asked to Return the Study and I have to say I found it really discouraging.  I hope others doing this Study were better able to understand than I was.

This was the one about whether two sets of numbers were correlated, right? I must admit most of my answers to this were guesswork, as they didn't seem correlated enough to decide one way or the other and certainly not enough to guess the extra number. Paid out quickly, though.

I was very pleasantly taken by surprise.  Having returned the Study and sent a message to the Researcher saying that, although I had done my best, after 22 minutes I was still unable to understand the instructions adequately enough to pass the comprehension checks, I received this message:  "Thanks for the effort, I will approve you!"

My submission was approved.

Did anyone do the £9 survey where you had to download the app register and it was for 9 weeks, I couldn't register on the app so had to return it
