Crowdflower Tasks
« on: March 20, 2014, 11:12:39 am »
It's beginning to be a bad day for me on CF. Anyone else?

 I did a couple half centers because that's all there was except for 2 that you needed a mobile device. Then up came a 2 cent task but when I went into it is said "Task Not Yet Available" and told me to wait 30 seconds or try another one. I waited but got the same message so I went on to other tasks.

I tried a couple more half centers, went back to the other task and got the same message. Then I saw a 4 center and tried that. None of the URLs worked, got the NOT FOUND message and said to go to support and report it. Well, without a job #, couldn't do a ticket, so I made sure none of the URLs worked, then filed a job ticket through that job. We shall see how that goes.

Anyway, went back to the half centers and started getting "Task Not Yet Available" on every one I tried to do. Seems like I only have 2 good days out of the week.  :(

Yesterday was a great day. Today was awful.  :(

I ran into some similar problems when a message came up stating that the task was not yet available. Why would the even have those offers on the task menu if we are not able to complete them. I couldn't even start the task come to think of it.

I have quite a number of tasks available, but the only ones I did were the 30-second Google searches and I had no problems with those. Hopefully you'll have a better day tomorrow!!

I did have a better day today, but not by much. Everything worked today but my brain wasn't keeping up with me.   :D

I wonder why some days everything's a mess here and other days everything works perfectly.

I don't depend too much on CrowdFlower, I don't have too much task to do.

yesterday the videos did not credit. so we are tagging up our computers with threats and not even getting the 60 cents. I hope they start crediting today. I missed 3 on the roof study so they wont let me do the task but I had never seen solar panels from the sky before so I thought I saw some things that looked like panels a few times.

I haven't done that task before, but if you're having issues (like not being able to zoom in enough) and it causes problems with your accuracy, by all means file a support ticket and complain!! Hopefully Crowdflower would pass along the complaint to the task author/owner and they would either make adjustments to the task or to your accuracy, or both. Can't hurt to try!!  :)

The task page won't even load for me, so maybe another day for tasks.  I did a survey instead for 50 cents and one for 80 cents yesterday. It's worth going through your survey list.

I have not had much time to complete some tasks on there lately. I don't like completing the tasks that you have to bookmark. I have followed the instructions carefully and can't seem to get it to work.
