Problems all of a sudden with CrowdFlower tasks

[skrogman]

I have had a strange issue with the "Investment task" bookmarklet offers.  Why is it that you click into them and complete the page, then it has you sign in and complete the page, then sign in and complete the page, and sometimes as much as five times and still not complete and no credit.  I usually like those kind of simple tasks where all you do is an easy Google search, done and credit.  Those used to rack up for me, but I don't understand what is going on now.

Investment asks have been going through several make-overs and not all of them are for the better, but I still love them when I can get the bookmarklet to work. It's one of those things when you do tasks that you get use to.

It's seemed glitchy from day one on those for me but haven't experienced what you did.

I completed a bunch of those yesterday with no issue. Is your browser set up to remember your user name and password? Maybe that will help keep you signed in.

the bookmarklet has been my problem from the beginning, even though I have reinstalled it, so I pretty much gave up on using it.

I'm not sure when you threw in the towel, but I suggest giving those another shot. CF has reworked the bookmarklet and fixed many of the issues people were experiencing.

I haven't had your experience with those particular Tasks.  Why don't you try to sign in to your Crowd Flower Account BEFORE you start the task.  Maybe that will make a difference.

Okay, thank you for the advice.  But, skippymcnapper and blacksheepNY, how do I sign in first before clicking into a task and how do I set up my browser that way?  I am using Chrome, by the way.

If you go here: https://tasks.crowdflower.com/dashboard does it prompt you to sign in? If so, sign in and then go to the FC tasks page and attempt a task. Chrome should prompt you with a message about saving your log-in information. It usually appears at the top by the page address bar.

I think I've had problems with the Investment tasks before and basically gave up on them. It seemed like I was doing a lot of work and not getting credited.

This problem is not the exact problem I'm having right now with those Crowd Flower tasks.  What's happening to me is that I can't even log in to my Crowd Flower account to file a ticket because it's telling me my email or password is invalid.  I went to the Crowd Flower website itself and filed a report.  I was told it may take a day or two by the time they get back to me.  We'll see.

So far I havent had any problems with those tasks, I hope it gets straightened out for you.

change to a different browser and see.

I think if you have CrowdFlower account, need to sign in first and  then go to help center.  I did not see too many tasks recently

These are the fun easy tasks, very enjoyable too. I hope the issue will work itself out for you soon!
