so is there really no way to get hit tracker to sync?

 

You have to manually sync it every day. It used to auto-sync, but then they disabled it to see if it would reduce the MTurk website unavailable issue, but it had no effect on it. That issue is as bad as ever, so they should just re-enable auto-sync in my opinion.

mine isn't snycing anymore when I click the "Sync" button. it used to until recently. today I tried uninstalling and reinstalling MTS. it still won't sync.

 

Same problem, and for me it's related to the website unavailable error. Second I can reliably load up any page on MTurk, which today is not often at all, syncing works again.

 

I thought they might be connected problems! mine won't sync ever, but it stops trying to sync faster or immediately when I have had that error more or when it's currently happening.

 

do you know other any other ways to keep track of pending and approved but not paid yets? a long time ago I used a pen and a piece of paper. I probably spent as time with the pen and paper to keep track, as I spent doing the hits.

 

Sorry that a re-install didn't work for you. You could try posting your issue here, but not sure if you'll get a response or not. Good luck!

That sounds like some CloudResearch level bullshit. What are "engagement checks"?
No straight answer, "or" it was something else.
