I did that one. It was a bit slow to load each page, but I still finished within the allotted time.

I did that one. It worked ok at first but then once I got about 80% of the way through it would not load at all. I ended up repeatedly refreshing for well over half an hour before the final screen eventually loaded. I just managed to complete with seconds to spare before it timed out. Definitely not worth all the time and effort for that fee.

That's the one got to page 3 and then just gave up after repeatedly giving my answers.  Also did one this morning which had the same issue

Was it from the same university?  If so, it's understandable that the server would be having problems coping with a second study if it was already struggling with one.

Maybe your right

You can check where the study was from by looking in your Submissions list.

I had the slow Finnish study, the one with food and travel choices, it didn't have a completion code come up for me, did it come up for anyone else?

No, I had to submit it with NOCODE. It did say it had finished, though - didn't seem to be an error that it didn't show a code. Some studies just don't.

I just had a message asking me to return this study. I did complete the study, that involved watching videos, but there was no submit button at the end. Should I return the study now, just to keep the researcher happy? I have messaged explaining what happened.

I vaguely remember that one, I returned it at the time as it wasn't working correctly.

Judging from the intended and actual completion time, not many of the 32 people who submitted actually completed the survey.
