Right now, when I preview the HIT is intend to post, it is showing my full name from my Amazon account. Obviously, I don't want that showing!! How do I change this? I googled it and tried use the account settings, but it is still showing my actual full name. Any help?
Not sure what you're doing that your full name is coming up, but if you download the MTurk Great HIT Export script found here then you can just click the little icon at the side of any hit in the listings on mturk and it will pop up the box that you just copy and paste into the forum here. It will just look like this once posted: Title: Find company contact information Requester: Readabl [A2YW2GCVA51U3S] (TO) Description: Given a photo and a name, find contact information Reward: $0.05 Qualifications: Total approved HITs is greater than 2500, HIT approval rate (%) is greater than 95, Location is US Link: https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2PBKA0RYNJ92IFGBU62MNTUP25B384 [size=-2]Powered by non-amazonian script monkeys [/size]
Sorry, I mean posting a HIT as a request on mturk.com. I don't mean posting HITs here on the forum. I'm asking how do I get the actual HIT on mturk.com to not display my real name there.
Sorry! I wasn't paying attention to the section this was posted in. I found this link: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=209269 Maybe that can help you?
That's what I had already found via Google and it didn't change it. Mturk would be vastly better is Amazon would occasionally bother to iron out obvious interface flaws. Grrrr.
Apparently the info you provided is correct. It's just that Amazon holds the old info in cache for a looong time before updating it. In short: piss-poor design. A common theme I'm noticing throughout the mturk process.
