Task problems

[sgluckadoo]

Do any chrome users have problems with tasks? I will make a selection (check box, fill in blank) and later it shows that I never checked the box, filled in the blank, etc., even though I did. I end up with very low accuracy because it looks like many things were left blank after I hit submit. Strange.

I'm actually quite surprised that you're able to click "submit" if there is something left blank.  I use Firefox when doing the Tasks, and I know I can't leave anything blank or the Task just won't submit.

I use chrome and it won't let me submit a task if something is blank or unchecked... you might want to send in a ticket to crowdflower so they can address this and help you

I used to have this problem in the past, when I did tasks far more frequently, in both Chrome and Firefox.

If my answer to a test question conflicted with what they had marked as the "correct" one, then the task would direct me to a page that would inform me as such. It'd also show me the exact test question that I got "wrong." However, all of the fields and such (where I had put my responses filled in) would be blank, so I wouldn't even be able to see what my responses were. 

Also, I found that most of the time, the "reason" they gave would give for why my answer was wrong would be nonsensical. For example, random characters or just blanks between the quotation marks where the reason SHOULD have been, like...  "  " or "[ ]"

It was awfully frustrating, but on the bright side, CrowdFlower's support would always give me manual credit and fix my accuracy if I submitted a ticket.

If you are unfamiliar with their support:
1. Within the task, click "Help" (towards the top of the task, in the black bar)
2. Create a CrowdFlower account, if you don't have one already. (I personally use the same email address that I use for FC, because they will respond to your ticket via email)
3. Choose the "Reason for contact," then enter the subject, and explain the issue in detail in the "Message" box.


Hope I was helpful and made sense...I need more coffee

I have that issue all the time, I know I have put the answer but it does not take it and it is very annoying

I use chrome and some issues have came up with the tasks just not letting me click on the check to finish the task or letting me type in the answer to what position a url is in to even having everything dead on to be told you missed at step when i click submit.

Same here.

I use Chrome on both a PC and a Mac, but don't have this issue. Usually if a tasks requires an answer, you will be unable to submit.

As others said, it may be a CrowdFlower not a browser issue so you may want to submit a ticket to them.

What tasks has it happened on? I can check my history to see if I was able to complete that one.
