Get Help with Stubborn Tasks

[adeadeabodunrin]

For the phone numbers, use this format xxx xxx-xxxx. No parentheses. That will work

Thanks for the information. The ones with the phone numbers were driving me crazy. I tried every combination or so I thought...lol. Just did them using your info and they worked perfectly

Glad it did... It really stressed me out as well.

I to put the phone number of Rite Way Heating Cooling & Plumbing which I got it from their Facebook site. It say the phone number is (520) 745-0660. I copy and paste it but this task keeps on rejecting my answer. Instruction says (character sensitive) so I copy and paste . I just cant figure it out what they really want. Man! its frustrating..

OMG. You can say that again. I finally give up today because of these phone numbers. I tried several tasks requiring phone
numbers and non of them worked. I tried the format listed as well as the one written with no luck.

I had become a fan of tasks but this is an exercise in futility.

I was trying to do in the task this "Phoenix Fire and Water Damage Repair" in flickr, the question is how many years they been serving Phoenix and the obvious picture posted is dated 2004. I was trying to put my answer 9 , it gives me this red thing that my answer was wrong. I tried to go to their official website and im giving same info. So I dont really know what kind of answer they want. Oh, and one more thing, even if I got the right answer for trial and error, they will not pay if you made mistake for 3 times. Bummer

This particular task you are talking about needs to be investigated as I discovered that whatever they have as their answer is incorrect. The correct answer according to that website is 35 years (O & S Building and Remodeling has served the Phoenix area for over 35 years including repairs of fire and water damage.)
However, I inputted this answer but the site would not accept it so I moved on.

I had the same problem with the same task.

I also can never seem to get the ones to accept phone numbers, even if I copy exactly as listed on the page.

Agreed. It won't accept any of the many answers available. This question should relate to the Flickr website that says they've been serving the Phoenix area for over 35 years. Their actual website says more than two decades, and the BBB says they've been a business in Arizona since 2004.

I know way to much about O & S Remodeling and don't have a nickel to show for it!

I've noticed that sometimes when the copy and pasting of the phone number doesn't work , you got to put the number in your self and then it works and change the parenthesis to dashes if dashes are there. I noticed that with words or anything when you know the answer is correct when you are copy and pasted the answer it that sometimes you got to type it in yourself and then it works since the lettering looks different even though it is spelled the same and make sure it starts all the way to the left because if there is any spaces before you put it down that will effect the answer also.

For a week now. I've been having problems with the tasks that are usually the ones I like a lot because they have changed the layout of it. The 5 cent ones that tell you to search google and answer questions about the search results, I have been having problems with them lately since they changed what you do . I liked them alot before since they would sometimes give you more then one task per one so the money would add up but I haven't been able to do them lately. I haven't been able to do any tasks hardly lately when that really lowers the mony I make on here.

The correct answer for the one asking for "how many years serving" is "intended" without the quotes. I know it makes absolutely no sense but I just completed it and it went through. Hope this helps!

Hey donnitab,

Thanks for sharing. It worked perfectly. How on earth were we supposed to figure that out.

I cannot believe some people are still complaining about the phone numbers here. Please read the previous posts. This has been resolved...

[ripagert]

what do you mean is intended without the quotes?  What is the right answer.  I have tried everything....and what about the one where it asks for the second to last word on the page?

[duroz]

Disregard the actual question they ask, and just paste the word "intended" in the box for the answer, and bingo you'll be good to go

....and what about the one where it asks for the second to last word on the page?

If that's the one I think it is, you need to use all lower case letters for the word (cards) instead of the way it's found on the webpage.

Here's a very good way to (often) find the answer to these search engine rankings/keywords jobs:

Because these are on a few different sites, a lot of people have the same problems and post about it on the CrowdFlower forum. Quite often someone has the answer and posts a reply, and then those people can answer other people's posts on there, and so on....

To find the one you're looking for on there, use their search tool and put in the task ID number (JUST the 6 digit number, nothing else) and all the posts that have been made re: that task will come up (well, most of them will anyway....their search tool has some issues too! lol!)

Thank you!  After reading this I wondered why I hadn't thought of it!
