There was a £6.70 one as well that has just gone - it was for 70 mins work. Hope someone got on that as well.

It's taken me less than a week to go from a newbie with £14 in a day to a embittered prolific veteran complaining about how there's been nothing for days.

Quite impressive in a weird way!

I've done £10.25 of submissions already so far this week (5 surveys).

I just leave the window open now when I'm already online and tab back into it now and then to make sure it doesn't have an error message. It displays a (1) in the browser tab when a new survey loads so no need for any browser addons now to check.

Think i'm going to do the same - I have had the Chrome extension running for a while now but it seems to have a permanent error these days so will bin it off!

It automatically refreshes when studies load x Leave a tab open and you'll see a (1) appear when there is a study.

It has got better recently. Just out of interest, I never withdraw until I have £20 but I still never receive the full £20. Why is that?

I had loads the day i signed up, 2 weeks ago, and made £9.37 but have only had one since. It was one I couldn't do because I only had my phone with me not a lap top.


It's worth hanging in there and getting a notification set up so you catch them all. (There's a chrome extension for it). This is a quiet time but it's been steady and reliable and well paid for years.

I downloaded the extension but it says ‘ERR’ Do you know how to fix this?

I'm not sure what causes this, possibly it just timed out if the connection was slow when it tried to check the page- but if you keep a tab open at the Prolific page, and just refresh the page when you see the error on the icon, it should clear. I have it set to check every five minutes, and each time it reloads the page, so that also usually clears it.

Glad I'm not the only one. January was a good month for me but February has been absolutely dead. Only had three submissions in three weeks and the highest was £1.50 whereas in January I had two worth £4.00 along with several smaller ones.

Super slow couple of weeks for me. I’ve racked up a grand total of... £20. Better than nothing but still nothing substantial. I had a few studies that I clicked on within 5 seconds- but they had already gone!

My Prolific Assistant browser add on is working again :)

I think the developer has fixed it. Chrome disabled it and I had to accept some new permissions before it went back on. It's pinged three studies this afternoon, which I would have missed without it, as there wasn't even a '1' on the tab. But I refreshed the page and there they were! Happy days.
