Is prolific running slow on the desktop for anyone else

Yes, Havrey0123, it is running slow for me too.  When I try to reserve a place the little circle whizzes round and round for what seems like too long.  Most of the time, even when there had been quite a lot of places avilable,  the Study is then already full.

I've only completed a short 2 minute study on my desktop this morning and everything appeared normal.

Anyone else getting a 500 error from Prolific at the moment?

I just finished a survey and couldn't get back to the homescreen to enter the submission code. I'm just getting a blank page when I try to log in.

Yes, I  have the same 500 error code from Prolific at the moment- saying "looks like we are having some issues".

Looks like it's working again now.

I was timed-out on the survey I completed before Prolific went down. Seems unfair - so I've messaged Prolific and the researcher. Not sure if it will do any good though!

QnA Scans Non OCR - Iteration 2 Copy ($15)

Help us compare responses from 2 AI chatbots which provide answers to questions from PDF files (Meeting transcripts)

I found both Studies quite difficult and really hard going. Both Studies are awaiting review. I’m just hoping that my best efforts have been good enough. 

I was pleased to secure a place on both Studies because there have been so many Studies notified but already full. In both Studies there were about 12 documents to read and refer to and some, it seemed to me, were quite long and involved a lot of reading.

I was pleased to complete both (with Completion Codes) before being timed out.

Has anyone else completed these Studies? I’ll be interested to hear how you got on.

Couldn't believe what it said in the description for this study:

Pre-requisite: Below are the links to the different brands we suggest you to explore in the metaverse environments before participate in the survey:

• Nike:  https://www.spatial.io/s/nike-63f2776246f222d934f45b89?share=5990176529484344219

So this is a 15p study, supposedly lasting 1 minute, and look at how much homework you're expected to do before participating. Taking the absolute p**s if you ask me. Returned and reported, obviously.
