    Best came up with is adding some custom filters to adblock plus, which takes care of most of them.

    gif$image,domain=mturkforum.com
    jpg$image,domain=mturkforum.com
    jpeg$image,domain=mturkforum.com
    png$image,domain=mturkforum.com

    It's very problematic though because this takes out the emotes which makes many posts unintelligible. Also some real images sneak through anyhow.

    I'm no expert in this though, maybe there is a better way.

    So not in the mood for this today. I could deal with watching 4 TV episodes though.

    That one HIT would put me ahead of 44 of the 45 days in the history thing on the dashboard. I suck at this. :(

    Also the main reason for "write about a time" is to alter your mood to see how it affects the way people answer questions. There's usually a control group where a person is asked to write about something ordinary or mundane and then another group that's supposed to write about something that's either very negative or very positive. This is not anything that hasn't been listed in a million MTurk survey debriefings. Don't you read those? ;)

    These were fussy, for me too. I started in Chrome, and that did not show the link.

    I then tried Android's "Browser" and was able to see the link there, and my phone took screen snaps easily (had to dig around with Gallery for a bit to get the rhythm of transfer, directory, etc).

    The WEBSITE ones worked with Android Browser, and Gallery to work with the screen snaps.

    My phone has no room to add apps right now (I need to research some of the cheap phones some Mturkers say they use as passive work horses, to tally swagbucks, etc, for backup), so all the APPS hits that are sitting out there, I envy... *sob*

    May you find your link!

    Yeah, making jokes about breasts once in a great while is a HUGE perk. I'm gonna take it to my bank account. ;-)

    But it's so hard NOT to debate...I'm doing a good job of containing my desire to keep things light and fun and not start a huge sexual inequality debate today. But oooooh I'd really like to.

    I love the hit "Make 5 telemarketing calls." They don't know it's illegal, with a fine of $15,000 per call? If they're caught.

    No, don’t. I’m already having a bad day. People calling in school shooters as a joke.

    Oh I'm not. Sorry you are having a rough day. That's quite disturbing what the hell is wrong with people?
