yes i was viewing all projects-i emailed them and they said i was in the activation pool and would be notified once my profile was activated-they gave me that response before but i don't really know what i means-i've been accepted onto a project that hasn't started yet so surely i wouldn't even have been accepted on that if my profile wasn't activated? Confused!

Hmm, that's odd. So your online account, is it with Connect or are you still on the old system?

What project have you been accepted onto?

Appen isn't reliable in that you can be accepted onto projects that either never progress or you can be booted from it before it starts because they've accepted too many people. Project managers are hit and miss - sometimes you get a really good one who answers every email and other times you never hear back from them.

I don't know if this will work but if you go onto your connect and look at the top there's a little envelope. If you click on that you should be able to send a message to the people in charge of the project.

yes i'm using the Connect version-i am definitely learning about the 'hit and miss' aspect! it was through the envelope that i asked that query. I think i will just have to chalk that particular project up as a loss!

I’m in the same boat, waiting on registration being approved but I have applied for projects. Fingers crossed :)

Get peppermint email with test link (had figure8 acc already). I am not sure if I did "test", just few small tasks which were super duper easy and I would love to get this contract - 10/15 hours sounds super for this easy job. At the moment I do 2 projects daily and
Amur if I am lucky (did twice until now).

my test was about 10 pages with 4 or 5 questions per page.

Even if you pass don't hold your breath to get any work, firstly Appen themselves rate the work amount as below average, so if it pulls off I expect there to be a dump of work quickly eaten up then everyone moning there was no more work.

I wish I was back on the Facebook news one, regular work and no QC.

Did you not get given a deadline? I got the tightest deadlines ever from them - 48 hours to read the guidelines and do a training set and then another 24 for the test. Shocked that I passed! I'm not sure what you're struggling with address wise but if I can help, let me know. I've spent a fair bit of time over there so I didn't have too much trouble. It's 10 hours per week to start with and can increase if you do well so it's probably worth a shot!

I got peppermint too! :)

Yes, they gave me deadlines, but I still can do that training :/ I just cant understand what I see on a map. I try to find location A, location B, but I do not understant where it is. Not sure it is a town, area or something else. Seems I need to read guidelines again :(

Also got Peppermint, such a relief after the reduction in work available on Yukon. Let's hope for some actual work now...

Not got much hope at the minute, will have to see how it pans out.

I'm also on the Bane Curation project. Email received at 11pm last night to say batches were available (was in bed), by 1am another email received to say all work had gone. Given that Peppermint states work load as "below average", I don't think it looks great x

oh :/ I hope will be at least for 5-10 hours each week. Few years ago I had the same problem with one project - by the time I wake up all tasks were gone.

Yeah I got the same. Hoping it says below average as it hasn't started yet and will pick up early next week, but time will tell. Never believe it until I see it with these projects.

I'm not on that project but have done regular work for them previously and was always paid on time

I've been on Amur through two cycles of the project and both times missed out on actually participating.

I've been accepted, but this has happened for several projects lately and nothing has actually come of it so we'll see what happens. You will be paid, no need to worry about that.
