    We should be able to edit these. We could have a verified zombie, verified polar bear, verified polar bear hunter, etc. Quite diverse we seem to be

    Just using scripts and messing around trying to figure out how they work, or trying to replicate the code to help out on another HIT, will end up paying off in the long run. I'm no scriptmaster, but I'm to the point where I can bang out something simple pretty quick, or grab sections of other scripts and cut and paste what I need real quick.

    You might want to take a look at AutoHotkey while you're letting the javascript/jquery sink in. AutoHotkey is pretty simple to write (it basically emulates keypresses, so for simple and repetitive HITs, you just have to figure out the different patterns you press keys in...kind of). In your scripting infancy, you can probably write an AHK script faster than something in javascript. Don't worry though, you'll get the javascript stuff down in no time!

    Well, kinda regret taking today off to shop for Christmas stuff. My pending earnings for this week is so ridiculously low and idk how much, if any, I will do the next few days so that sucks...:biblethump:

    Do you have a group on FB @adaaaam ? I'm pretty sure it's the one I'm in. I've been very jealous of your numbers every week...:lol:

    EDIT: Idk the proper way to tag someone on here so their picture shows up...? The picture is suppose to show up right? Like it did on MTG?

    It was sold on flippa, whoever bought it put it on shared hosting and so anytime there's more than 10 people online it just returns a bunch of server errors and becomes unusable. New owner didn't say a word to anyone for almost 2 weeks and so here we are :dunno:

    No, no, it does inspire me! I just still kinda suck at MTurk but I love seeing how well some of you can do, it does motivate me. And you are very helpful and nice to everyone in the group. I appreciate the effort you give to help others!
