Just got an email from PA with my stats. Has anyone else had one of these? Makes for interesting reading, wonder how I compare to others!

Has anyone had this notice after reserving a place when there were places available:
"Experiment not availableParticipant ID missing from inbound URL.
Please cancel the task on Prolific."
My Prolific ID is there and has not changed. I am not sure what it means.

Yes, I had that. I assumed it meant that the URL which directed to the survey was malformed - an error on the part of the researcher.

Beware the User Content Generated Video Quality Test... I started it and after five minutes watching it load and still less than 50% loaded, I cancelled it.

Beware of this one. 20 screens to work through. After spending 12 minutes on 3 screens I judged it was going to take far longer than advertised and was very tedious, so I cancelled.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I had this one a couple of days ago and cancelled for the same reason. When I started it the completion time was stated as 15 minutes - totally impossible. I messaged the researcher and reported it but haven't heard back.silvercar said:Image Labeling
