Crowdflower issues
« on: January 07, 2012, 10:11:31 am »

Seems as if Crowdflower's servers are having a meltdown right now ... apparently lots of traffic on them.

If you're doing work on their jobs, it might be a good idea to copy and save your data in a separate file during each task.  That way, if you try to submit the task and get an error message, then you won't have to go back and look everything up to get the answers again.  It will just be a matter of copying and pasting the answers back into the boxes.

It took me several times of losing answers this morning before I finally wised up and started doing this.  It has saved me a lot of time and headache.

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing!!

I was having problems earlier as well. I wish i would have thought of copying the links to notepad, but i wasn't expecting every single page i submitted  to give me trouble. I eventually got fed up with it and exited after i had to complete each page twice in order to get credit. I'm hoping it's fixed by now because i was on a roll with the task i was doing.
