    Anyone using the MTSuite? They just sent an update, and now I can't get Catcher or Finder to open. They're not in my Chrome History either. I need the urls for HF and HC.

    Never mind. I found the URL's and they don't work. I can't get the Suite open. I wish he would stop futzing around with his updates!!!:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

    Doesn't clicking on the MTS icon on top of the browser bar work to open HF?

    No. It usually opens links to all 4 functions, HF, HC, Options and Tracker. Got on MTCrowd and wrote to Kadauchi. When it's fixed, I'm going to find out how to block updates. If anyone else has this, I'll send him some "me-too's" otherwise he'll say it's just me.

    I'm waiting for one of these Ivy League colleges to address the cheating scandal though an MTurk study. I'm hoping for open ended questions too. I'd do that crap on the cheap so I can tell them how I feel about their overrated, self-important and oppressive "educational" regime they have that rewards their cliques and punishes the actual people who manage to get in on merit with practically worthless degrees and years of student debt. I won't hold my breath for that survey to come out though. But please post any HITs related to this if you see them.

    I just got on about 1/2 hour ago, so that's when it updated. I'll try to pick up some hits from the MT UI.

    In Firefox you can go back to a previous version that they archive on their webpage. For some reason they don't do this with Chrome. It would be nice to be able to opt of updates at times but eventually every update becomes obsolete either due to something MTurk tweeked or because the update was poorly designed and malfunctions after a certain date.

    I'm not familiar enough with Chrome to pull up the cache, but I do have the History. I use Chrome only for MT. He updates almost every week, usually minor stuff, then something is usually broken.

    As much as I love using MTurk Suite and think it's invaluable especially after the December 2017 site reboot I feel like he treats it the way George Lucus used to treat his Star Wars franchise. Never happy and always tweeking the finished product. I suspect if he wanted to he could make a version that required far less maintenance but then he'd be bored not tinkering with it.

    Suite isn't in the history at all, because it's not part of Chrome.

    I saw only the 1st Star Wars.

    I'll use Scraper for a while, but it doesn't Panda.

    I use Panda Crazy & HIT catcher often at the same time but also this way when one isn't working for whatever reason I can use the other one.

    Well then you should definitely watch the one that came right after that. It's super awesome!!! I believe this is Lucas' favorite too since he never went back and re-edited it like he did the others. He thought it was perfect as it was originally presented.

    SW was unique when it was released-- amusing science fiction, aliens treated as the normal, wise-cracking hero, funny robots acting like 2 old men. I might have even seen the 2nd one 41 years ago, but I remember nothing. I'm not really a sci-fi fan.

    watch that 15 min. timer (took 9 or 10) and no code...but I'm guessing there will be some returns since a 15 min. timer.
