Tasks
« on: January 24, 2015, 05:26:46 pm »
I have been having trouble with the crowdflower tasks, I can't get the bookmarklet to work, (I don't even know what a bookmarklet is.) and almost everytime I try to due one of the tasks it says it's wrong. Are these tasks just scams or what? I follow all the directions but I just keep getting all the wrong answers. If anyone could help me figure out to answer them or add this bookmarklet thing maybe that would help.
Thank You,
Kerri ???

What browser do you use? I had the same problem while using Chrome, but I figured it out on my own.

If you're using the same browser, you have to be sure that your bookmarks toolbar is visible because you want to drag the Bookmarkletto that toolbar for when you visit websites that require you to use it.

If you don't already have the Bookmarklet on your Toolbar, you have to add it.  There are instructions within the Tasks that use the Bookmarklet on how to get it on your Toolbar.  It's usually pretty simple, drag and drop.

You can't use the bookmarklet with Internet Explorer. I recommend Chrome for those tasks, it always works for me.

Iv'e got the bookmarklet and the extension but when I do the "searches" I can't ever seem to find the exact site they have listed. and when I check the extension it says I did not do the search. I think most of the tasks are set up for complete failure. My rating level is dropped I was at 2 now I'm at 0. It seems to me its more of a waste of time and then when you lose your rating you don't get any jobs so I have pretty much given up on CF tasks for any survey site.

Fill out a support ticket for crowdflower.  On your crowdflower task bar, there is a heading called help. If you click that, the dropdown menu will say "File a ticket."

I've had the same issue with the bookmarklet task, with the task saying I hadn't done the search. Crowdflower paid me for the task, because the problem was with the bookmarklet, not me.

You need to carefully read through the instructions on the page. These tasks are fairly easy to complete, but you do have to follow the instructions exactly.
