I keep getting this study on repeat. Very easy to do, you just pick an appropriate word from a list and move it to the box on the screen. I don't understand why it isn't popular.

Ive never seen it. There seem to be so many I dont see. I've only realised as I have been off work this week and spent so much time with the site open. Some come up as 1 place left and I havent seen the main one.

We all get a different combination of studies, because we have all answered our About You questions differently.  Some researchers are very picky, and only a few people qualify for their studies;  others spread their net wider, and quite a few of us may be offered their studies.  And sometimes, I suspect, it depends on what type of studies one has successfully completed in the past.

I mentioned it because it is the only study, that can be done on any device, that sits for 12+ hours.

All manner of different things. For example, I have completed 4,600 surveys....would they want someone who has completed that quantity of surveys with a good rating, or someone who has completed 10.

Plus, there is the simple fact that there is a much higher number of people using Prolific then ever before - that said I have not been short on surveys the last few weeks and I have a couple sat waiting right now

I had another 5 of the same study last night. Could only face doing 2 as it involves quite complex reading. When I left it the remaining 3 studies all had 17 places. This morning they are still waiting for me with 12 places remaining.

I’m missing a lot of stuff at the moment because when out and about I don’t have access to a laptop - most ones I am seeing are laptop or tablet and for most of the day I don’t have access to those, just my phone.
I have 5 desktop surveys showing right now and can’t do any of them. 
In the evening, it depends on whether I can be bothered cranking up the desktop for the sake of £1.

Anyone else getting a blank screen today?

No.  (Firefox and Chrome, latest versions, on Windows 10 desktop.)

Has anyone attempt this study today? Unless I missed something, I couldn't get my head around the instructions which were confusing and contradictory. Due to reading over them again and again to try and figure out what they were attempting to explain I triggered a message during the test saying I failed something so won't be paid. 

Two messages to the researcher have yielded no response. Has this particular researcher been problematic for anyone previously?
