Is it sure you're prolific that you're using? There's no screenouts on prolific.

I think I'm thinking of a different one I'm doing so many! My actual prolific one I've only done a couple. Done more pre screening than anything to boost my chances!

I saw that one and snapped it up, but it was late at night, it required me to watch a video for a couple of hours, and I was due for work in the morning. As much as the money was a sizeable chunk and I could have really done with it, I returned the study.

Just a heads up if you have a lot of time on your hands there is a task paying out £42 on Prolific. If I had the time to watch 3 hours of a video and had internet access for the next 5 days I would have snapped it up, but am going away to Yorkshire and won't have internet there (not even data on my phone most of the time).

I couldn't even sit through the whole of The Lord of the Rings so I doubt I would make it through a 3 hour training film.

I accepted this task a few days before this original post. I watched the training videos and then when I went to log in to the given address to do the task the website wouldn't work. I messaged the person on charge of the test who never replied and then I was timed out of the job. Then it appeared a few days later and I accepted the job and went straight to the test and couldn't remember how to do the tasks. There was no way I was watching those videos again so I just cancelled the job.

Emailed again about not seeing any studies and apparently there is an issue with some accounts not seeing any :rolleyes:

They'll update me soon apparently.

Studies are definitely about. So either you're unlucky with demographics, or, as you suspect, there is a problem with some accounts. I completed 5 yesterday and 3 today.

The first day I signed up I did 4 or 5, and the same the following day, then suddenly it's gone very quiet. I'm lucky to get 2 in a day at the moment. Sad really, as they're quite fun to do.

They are a bit hit and miss. Sometimes I can go nearly a week with nothing, then have loads in one day. I've had another 2 since I posted earlier.
They also get filled super quick, I've got my monitor set to every 5 minutes, and they are still often gone by the time I get there.

Anyone else using Prolific Assistant in Chrome suddenly found it failing to alert? Mine was working perfectly then a few weeks ago seems to have crapped out?

There is an issue with how prolific has been working the last couple of months and maybe longer. Studies that you are eligible for are not appearing as quick as they should or not at all meaning you could most likely miss out. It's the case for me too.

I've used Prolific Academic for a while and also think it's a great additional earner. I haven't cashed out yet but that's cause I'm waiting to reach the £20 threshold to avoid the PayPal fees...not too long to go!

It's been one of my favourite survey sites so far.

If anyone would like to sign up through my link, I'd really appreciate that :) ==> https://prolific.ac/rp?ref=MQ3DTKP5

All the best
Haven’t receive any surveys yet. dont know if I am doing something wrong

There's hundreds of them. I've been a member for a year and still get pre screening questions so don't worry about it. Surveys are few and far between on prolific though these days I find.

Available studies aren't emailed by Prolific. You have to check the site regularly. The best way is to set up a page monitor to give you a ping when one is available. Also make sure that you've filled in the pre-screening questions. :)

Oh okay. That’s brilliant, thank you. I will make sure I check that now.

There are loads of pre-screening questions on Prolific, I guess if you've just registered you've still got all of them to answer whilst once you've been a user for a while and answered them all (to the point it says there's none left - it gets there eventually) it's just then a case of checking there aren't any new ones regularly or they build up again. Haven't answered them in ages now and there's loads of them again.

If you make sure you're up to date with all the pre-screening questions then you've got more chance of being eligible for studies. It's worth filling in all the ones you get at the start - it takes a while but then they'll only pop up occasionally as there are new questions and it's much quicker. Then it's just a case of checking in regularly to grab open studies. I was using a monitor but it seems to have stopped working so I just check in a couple times a day to see what's available.

Sometimes researchers want a very specific demographic. I had one for people over 65 who wear varifocals and use a computer screen for more than an hour a day. I had an e.mail for that one.

Is anyone else having issues since they redesigned the site? I get error messages often and I just did a study that had no completion code so I cant seem to submit it so i guess i wont get paid for it :(. I wish it would go back to how it was!
