    The sound settings have randomly disappeared on the Prolific Assistant extension for me and it doesn't 'beep' anymore. Anyone else?

    There has been an update to the Prolific Assistant and the sound has been reinstalled as they had to take it off. Updating the Assistant may work, if not delete it and reinstall it - you need version 5.5.0

    Thank you so much. Saves me trawling for the answer after a long day :smile:
  • Currently use prolific but looking for other surveys as good as prolific for over 65s.

    There are websites that review survey sites but doesn't tell you if they are good for over 65s.

    Can anyone recommend any survey sites they use that give regular surveys and pays in cash other then prolific that is good for over 65s and pays in PayPal cash

    There aren’t any others that pay anywhere near as well in my experience.
    YouGov used to be good but has now dropped off a cliff. Populus and opinium are slightly better and pay cash into my bank account but not a patch on prolific and I’ve given up on all the rest.

    Anybody else noticed that the widget no longer announces 'new studies available on Prolific'. There seems to have been some sort of update to it.

    Prolific site is saying they are looking into a phishing attempt. Just reset my password.
