Yes, I have the new study which says I'm ineligible too. I have completed all the eligibility questions so I'm not sure what is going on with it. There was a similar problem a while ago I think but if you're not eligible for a study it shouldn't appear on your study page. That's just mean. Especially if like me you are 25p away from your next cash out.

Anyone done the portfolio study? I've had it on my study page for days. It's says I'm not eligible but it's annoying when the only study you can see is one you're not allowed to do.

I was just about to post about this. I can see 2 studies at the moment, both with the orange question mark, and as soon as I try and start them it says I'm ineligible. It hasn't asked me any further questions to come to that conclusion so why not just mark me as ineligible to begin with? I got my hopes up and everything! PA seems to have been really quiet for me lately (whereas at the start of the Summer it was very busy). I hope it'll pick up again now that the universities will be going back.

It has definitely picked up for me this week, I hadn't had a single study since the 20th August, but I've had quite a few so far this week.

They just need to fix the bug about eligibility, or at least respond to messages!

edit: I have just sent them a link to this thread in the hope they realise it's not just one person having an issue.

Hey guys! There seems to be a bug here from our part. We'll do our best to fix this as soon as possible.

Sorry again!

Every now and then, when I refresh the studies page, I can stll see the portfolio one with an 'ineligible' next to it. When I refresh again it disappears. It's not really a problem but I just thought you may like to know incase it's the same for everyone.

I'm having a bit of trouble with one of my completed surveys.

Learn how to be a cancer pathologist by Peter Smittenaar.

I received a message with a link saying that I hadn't completed the survey - I followed the link and it was due to the practice pictures I hadn't done to 100%, updated and amended this and the survey was done.

But it is still showing as being rejected.

I have sent a message to Peter / Sarah but have no reply and no update to the survey.

Is it the fault of PA or is it that clients want different demographics for their work?

It does seem to be a bit quiet lately. Looking back, I've had 4 surveys since the beginning of September, which is a lot less than I was getting a couple of months back. I'm not sure if it's less busy or if the surveys get snapped up more quickly with so many more participants now.

Hopefully, it'll pick up with the new academic year getting into full swing now.

It is definitely barren at the mo, at first I though it was down to it just being a quiet time for students and their studies but maybe it is about demographics.

I hope it picks up soon that's for sure, as I quite enjoy PA studies - they engage the brain more than the usual surveys.

I've responded to the alerts here within a minute or two and don't seem to find any of the studies lately.

I don't receive most of the alerts for some reason, but even when I do the surveys are either gone or I wasn't eligible.

I haven't had alerts for some time now though I haven't changed any of my settings. I just need to remind myself to check the site regularly. I often find surveys when I remember to check.
