GachaBread - feel free to let off steam here anytime. I feel for you. Keep your eye on the prize. You'll get there.

A word of caution: I have had a family member take my phone and read threads in here I really wish they hadn't before. They didn't know my user name but they worked out it was me.

Justtheonethen - wishing you courage znd patience and a smooth trip today.

Wishing everyone all the best in these strange days.

SpockPaperScissorsLizardRock · 21/03/2020 08:36

Gah, no Banner work for me, I keep getting timed out so am giving up for now! Lots of other having the same problem so hopefully they will sort it!

BertieBotts · 21/03/2020 08:40

Is anyone signed up for Appen and getting work even if they don't have a degree? I'm wondering if this is why I get radio silence on there.

Also Neevo - never a sniff of anything on there either.

Lougle · 21/03/2020 09:04

I got the B link, but I don't think I like it!

Suebnm · 21/03/2020 09:12

My Ba keeps timing out. There isn't nearly enough time to complete the tasks. I don't think I will keep at it.

flameprincess · 21/03/2020 10:33

@BertieBotts I don't have a degree and I've not been offered any work on Appen either - so perhaps you are right. Been signed up about 6 weeks? Neevo I do get emails but by the time I've clicked them the tasks are all gone.

Loopyteddy · 21/03/2020 12:31

My little one is napping so thought I would get started on B**r and it says no tasks available. That didn't last long...

Catatemyhomework · 21/03/2020 12:32

@justtheonethen, hope you make it home safely. I spent an hour reading the Ba*r guidelines, only to click on the link and see that there is no work available. Anyone else got this?

Suebnm · 21/03/2020 12:48

Yes me. No work on Ban@@@

toastytea · 21/03/2020 12:53

I think they stopped the task cos everyone was saying there isn't enough time to do the work without it timing out - which I agree with!

Lougle · 21/03/2020 13:21

I thought that too, @toastytea! I felt like I was having to race through the task to get it done in time. Also, the cache button was saying every page wasn't cached.

toastytea · 21/03/2020 13:31

@Lougle yup, I think everyone was having same issues according to chat. I managed a few but the quality of work was not high due to rushing!

Gatekeeper · 21/03/2020 14:01

HELLLPPP..after a month I've finally been able to get the facebook rating link to work on N**E ..sent tickets for help but replies were rather vague and didn't really suggest anything. However my pc doesn't really show the same info as the guidance shows and i'm getting confused. Only brings up 24 ish ads despite retrying and I am unable to do the bakeoff

Anyone else??? I can't open Fer either- just keep getting an error message....grrr

toastytea · 21/03/2020 14:31

@Gatekeeper I would try chat for this. Isn't N* supposed to be done on mobile? Previously when I've done it you have to keep going until you get 30. So do more than one batch if necessary. Make sure your fb app is completely up to date too.

Catatemyhomework · 21/03/2020 14:36

So no work on either of the two Appen B* projects. Wonder how long it will be. Probably both at the same time next week!

Gatekeeper · 21/03/2020 15:30

@toastytea- no you can do it on a desktop as well. They keep saying that about the app but it's open through Chrome so no app

Gatekeeper · 21/03/2020 15:36

windows 10 desktop

TheMamaYo · 21/03/2020 15:48

@GachaBread, so sorry to hear this. I’ve been through similar so can just promise you that it’s really worth keeping the end goal in mind. Life is SO good once you get out of it. Also, police is shit hot on dv during this, as I understand. Don’t hesitate to call them. It’s not your fault he’s abusive. It’s not your fault he lost his job. Don’t put up with it and get him thrown out if necessary.

GachaBread · 21/03/2020 16:00

@TheMamaYo ❤️

ifuckarses · 22/03/2020 07:34

People who are on B**r, did you have to do a qualification test? I got an email to say I did, but then straight away got an email to say I've been accepted and the work this button has appeared... Not clicked it yet, but guessing there's not been any work by the posts I've seen.

ifuckarses · 22/03/2020 08:56

Also, just wondering how the required hours works on projects when like on B* for example, there's nothing at the beginning of the week, then it all comes in at the end. Are you expected to try and fit in all your hours in the latter part of the week or are they quite understanding?

Gatekeeper · 22/03/2020 09:01

has anyone got the test for Ap*n An*a Qualification? There are various questions I have to answer but they haven't provided any guidance (even thought they say they have) so I can't possibly know the answer!!

spacepoppers · 22/03/2020 09:20

Ohhh @GachaBread I was thinking about you this morning and wondered how you are coping, have just seen your updates :(
You are so brave and have such a fighting spirit, it won't be easy but you will get through it for the kids. We are all here for you, and you can PM me anytime. Sending lots of love and strength, stay safe ❤️

Gatekeeper · 22/03/2020 09:34

Sad @GachaBread I've just read your post above- I'm sorry flower. Bloody hard for you but as others have said- vent away and we'll listen and support

AVL · 22/03/2020 10:18

Just been asked to take a qualification for A*v and can't see the answers to the questions as there is no info, and I can't remember as I applied a few days ago. Anyone that can help? I did it once and got it wrong, but can take it again.

@Gatekeeper just seen you have the same issue too.
