I need help with the search thingy

[syddasquid]

so, i need help with the thing that tells you what to search and you copy and paste the url (the green one)

I have just finished one and started another; I did every single one, except for one. I cannot get the right url for one! I think it's because it says to copy and paste the green url on the search browser, (and that's what I did) until I realized the url on the browser wasn't the full url...there were at least three sections in the middle of the browser url  that were just "..." between things indicating some parts weren't there. I clicked on the link and copied and pasted the url from there and it still didnt work! I even filled in the spaces by hand and wrote the WHOLE THING by hand...it didn't work!!! PLEASE help!

There's something off with this task. You can sign up for a CrowdFlower account on the tasks page and post to their boards to try to receive credit. Just search the job ID in the topic box and you will see others have the same issue.

Unfortunately, FC can't issue credits for tasks since they just host them, but going to CrowdFlower sometimes produces results.

I am having the same problem and came to this forum to see if I was the only one. Thanks to Support for the heads up on what to do.

I have this problem often.  When I do, I sign in to Crowd Flower and post a "Problem" post.  You should sign up with them and do the same thing.  At the top of the Task there is a "Help" box.  There, you can copy your Contributor ID and the Task ID to make a post on Crowd Flower.  Although there are tasks that give me headaches, Crowd Flower has been very fair and credited me even though I wasn't able to complete the Task because of these problems.  Good luck to you!
