I keep toying with the idea of doing it, but I don't think I'd manage to talk that much without losing my voice or manage to do it uninterrupted. I keep passing on the one that involves eye tracking on iphone too.

Havent seen that other one, but i am android so probably why... Its really not too bad, some of the phrases make no dsense whatsoever, some are half a word...but you have 4 hours to do it ..only thing i had was app crashed, nothing would work.. after doing 270...was raging, bit the bullet and deleted it and reinstalled and hoped and it did resume where i left off... have a glass of water handy if you do it lol

Is anyone else fed up with the new setup meaning laptop users are unable to take studies marked as desktop only? I did contact prolific but they said there was nothing they could do and to contact the researcher. Now if I could only find out how to do that under the new setup

I have been able to take studies marked as desktop only on my laptop.
You should be able to do that fine. I only have an ordinary laptop and haven’t had any problems. Maybe depends on the laptop on the screen size you have.

I'm just hoping the surveys pick up once the universities go back. Its been anything but prolific over August.

Just checked my submissions and I have had 22 studies I completed in Aug there were more than that though as a few filled up before I could get to them.
So Aug has been a really good month for me.

I wonder why mine have dropped off then? I use to average one a day but only had half a dozen for August.

Have you got a page monitor or the prolific browser add on? If you have, it may just be that you don't meet the criteria for certain studies. The browser add on pings around 8-9 studies when I turn my lappy on in the morning, but often I don't qualify for any of them.

If you think there is something amiss, you could always email prolific to check your account. They're pretty good at dealing with queries.

Hi everyone :)

I have just done a study on Prolific, however, my time ran out approx. 1 minute prior to submission. It was a long winded study anyway but took a lot longer due to delays each time I was clicking to the next screen. I did click 'No' when asked if everything had ran smoothly but wondering if I will still be paid for it. Anyone else experienced this before?

Thanks in advance :)

I had the same situation this evening & have the same question - I got a completion code at the end - it's no biggie as it was a low compensation rate & only took a couple of minutes - I just wanted to know for future reference really :)

Well I've tried my laptop and different computers at the local library. Still get the same message

That is strange then. A laptop shouldn’t be any different to a desktop study wise.
I only have a standard laptop running Windows 10 and I can do all the desktop studies alright.

I know you've already contacted Prolific but try again and explain all the different places you've tried, browsers etc and try sending a screen shot of the error (or if you can't attach an image, explain the error and say you can send an image). I've found them to be really helpful and quick to respond when I've had a technical error. It can't be a page monitor if it didn't work even at the library. Can't think there would be anything on your profile but you never know. Hope it sorts itself out soon and able to take part in the studies.

There is a new voice recording task for iPhone users, you can get £12!

It is quite monotonous and boring but there some fun ones thrown in there too!

Has anyone managed to get distill or visual ping working yet? I work for Leapforce and they don't allow any unauthorised extensions (stupid rule), so the PA add on is not an option for me.

That's a pain, not being able to use the extension. If its any consolation, every time my lappy goes into sleep mode or loses connection it stops working!

Silly question probably, but does that mean no extensions on any browser, or just the one that you do Leapforce on? I don't work for them, so don't know.

No, I haven't managed to get either distill or visual ping to work properly on the new site.
