    Tbh, not even the most unhinged account I've seen. That honor probably still goes to @AL_GORES_SEX_SLAVE

    Anyone else getting errors consistently on prolific since the icon update? I have to log out and back in to get the site to function sometimes.

    Not I.

    I'd try: clearing cache and cookies, disabling unneeded extensions, temporarily disabling any anti-tracking modes, checking for updates, switching to another browser (e.g. Firefox to Chrome).

    To heck with survey "partner" hosting networks. Do an very detailed hour-long survey, get thanked with a promise that your input is properly recorded for the researchers, and then you get re-routed back through the "partner" network which then leads to a fatal error or a "disqualification" so you don't get paid. Happens WAY too often with those faulty partner-networks. I'm done with them. Done.

    And no the companies using the partner networks won't compe
    Another thing I try sometimes: Switch to a different network connection (e.g. if using a home router, switch to smartphone hotspot temporarily), in case something network-related was causing the problems.
