@ChubRubTub Yes! I actually logged in several times yesterday and today, attempting to force it to work. But nope.

Buster27 · 25/03/2020 20:48

@Flube @ChubRubTub I had the M2 business names one.. also couldn't complete due to error messages! It was very annoying.

Just had a go at b**r .. I only did one batch as wasn't very keen on it. I have a couple of transcription projects on the go that I much prefer so think I'll stick to them while they have work.

Flube · 25/03/2020 20:55

@Buster27 I'm not keen on B**ner either. Feeling like I should try and get a bit done while I can, but I just really CBA with it.

I am on F*, but not sure realistically if I am fast enough to make any money, as it's paid per task.

ChubRubTub · 25/03/2020 21:29

Hopefully they'll sort it out if it's happening for everyone.

My transcription project has ended (F*r) which was great money, so hopefully something else will come along soon.

Buster27 · 25/03/2020 21:34

I'm on F* too - for now anyway, received feedback on my first lot and my percentage is quite a bit lower than my other transcription project (which is foreign accents, so should be harder!).

anxiouswaiting · 25/03/2020 21:57

I have done 3 pages on Ban* tonight and don't like it at all. Not worth the wait. Have no idea if I am doing in right but doubt.

Really hoping Ba* comes back overnight. I also have For but wonder if that will run out soon, they seem to be getting harder so wondet if the batches are ones people have abandoned already.

Catatemyhomework · 25/03/2020 22:40

I have painstakingly managed 5 hours on B*r today. It is not the easiest of projects. I timed out a few times, but I have a rhythm now. The trick I think is to do the comments first. Research the site, write the comments and then do the box ticking bit. A lot of the ones I had couldn't be navigated anyway as closed due to current circumstances. It doesn't excite me though I must say!

Suebnm · 26/03/2020 06:56

On the new Ban* link number 3 and batch 3 the time per page has been raised to 12 minutes,

anxiouswaiting · 26/03/2020 12:03

Still no B* hours on my invoice :(

ifuckarses · 26/03/2020 12:20

Still no B***r link for me. I know it's not everyone's favourite job but was hoping I'd get to try it.

Catatemyhomework · 26/03/2020 12:20

I still have the old hours on my invoice. I wonder when they will change it. Will B and B*r be put onto the same invoice? I have not submitted an invoice for Appen yet so not sure how it all works. We are coming to the end of the month now so presumably will be paid for March in April?

Catatemyhomework · 26/03/2020 12:23

@ifuckarses, you could try messaging them? I don't know why some people get the link and others don't. It's a bit weird.

DontCallMeDarling · 26/03/2020 12:47

@ifuckarses I also never got the link but from my experience, there is no point in sending them a message. It's pot luck and there is generally no obvious logic behind some of their decisions. If you read the chat on any project you can see that!

My normal project is very quiet today so have been doing some Neevo work, it's peanuts but I have nothing else to do and need to keep quiet while everyone else works/studies! Can't even hoover!

TheMamaYo · 26/03/2020 14:03

@Lougle, have you done the Alexa and API testing in the Academy? If so, do you get a lot of work on that? Is it really complicated?Confused

Lougle · 26/03/2020 14:42

No I haven't, @TheMamaYo. Tbh, I am getting so many invites right now that I'm having to turn lots down. I got 7 invites yesterday afternoon alone and I already had 9 projects going (some of them finished with but still running).

Have you done it?

TheMamaYo · 26/03/2020 15:09

@Lougle, I've started it but it's a step up from the rest of the Academy. My brain is a bit too foggy at the moment. I might try again in the morning when I'm hopefully feeling a bit 'fresher'. Grin

I've started turning down quite a bit too, then wonder if I did the right thing. I am struggling slightly to focus this week, so flitting around when I shouldn't. Nice to know you're doing so well without having done those two, thanks.Flowers

Wheelyyyy · 26/03/2020 17:35

@Lougle and @Mama
What training would you recommend in Utest?

Wheelyyyy · 26/03/2020 17:40

@justhe it is the M*2 the tasks have dosappeared now but like others...i cant enter the correct info. Relieved its not just me.

For those doing B**e, are you finding it easy? Is it a good money earner???
And is it just a case of waiting for them to send the links? Ive been checking the task page twice a day but still nada

Wheelyyyy · 26/03/2020 17:42

Pleased i wasnt accepted for B**r sounds horrible

Wheelyyyy · 26/03/2020 17:43

Anyone still doing Crisp?????

justtheonethen · 26/03/2020 17:58

@Wheelyyyy b@n£ is a piece of piss! I still do crisp. It makes up most of my earnings.

Geepipe · 26/03/2020 18:00

Ive started on prolific and am at £3 but need £5 before payout. Ive done about 10 surveys on it and they seem very slow. Waiting 3 days for one to payout still no sign of it.

TheMamaYo · 26/03/2020 18:31

@Wheelyyyy, just work your way through, from 7 you'll be able to sign up to test cycles. They are send out on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The training before that is fairly quick and easy to do.

MrsPretzels · 26/03/2020 20:42

Anyone tried qualifying for project So on Appen? It says you need to read the guidelines in order to answer the test questions but the guideline link just sends me straight back to the project page. Anyone having the same issue?

DontCallMeDarling · 26/03/2020 20:47

@mrspretzels, yes that happened to me, I ended up pressing the button at bottom (I can't remember if it is said submit or start) that took me to a page where they asked for more personal info and then once you've done that, the project ended up on the active process page and I haven't heard from them since Hmm
