Hello. I am dipping back into Prolific after a break for a few years. We have moved and have a lot of refurbing to do so all the extra pennies help.

I used to use Prolific a lot and have been logging back in again over recent weeks. It seems so hard to get into a study now. I have the auto fresh on but by the time I click on the study (within seconds of the computer pinging to notify me), the places are gone and its full. It never used to be like this. I remember logging in and having a list of studies waiting for me. Now I struggle to get any unless very lucky. Is this normal for everyone now or is there a trick I'm missing?

It is pretty competitive to grab studies. Make sure your demographics are updated.

I think Prolific has had another influx of new participants.

This is good in some ways, as the platform is getting ever more popular and that means more studies are being offered, but there is nearly always a period of adjustment when it happens. Studies fill up (much) more quickly, and the site tends to slow down at crucial moments.

Usually, a good portion of the new intake gets bored and leave after a while, and things go back to normal again. Fingers crossed!
