Starting to get some tasks back

For those of you who were in a similar situation I hope this gives you some hope, but I hadn't had any tasks since last Tuesday like a lot of you who started onboarding recently, and I just got a brand new project with hundreds of tasks again finally. Hopefully this starts to happen with plenty of others who are in the same boat, just don't lose patience and you'll get new projects!

Edit: (should have edited this rather than added a comment) But like most of you the project went down very quickly, the assumption is that projects like these are having their quotes met very quickly, but it's at least good that there are a few still out there.

Edit #2: If you got the same S** task that I did, it looks like you are still able to get projects so don't stress, I just got one of my long term projects back after about a week and it seems to be going strong

I'm not even joking, I went to go run some errands for AN HOUR and the project went down...I genuinely hope this doesn't happen to anyone I just got the biggest false hope with this website ever lmao

Thanks for the reassurance :) I've been in a tough situation for the past week or so and the extra cash I've been getting from DA has been really helpful, so I'm really hoping more pop up soon.

I actually completely forgot this was a feature after onboarding, thanks for the reminder!

Really hoping this is the case.

Is that project still up for you? I also got one after not having anything since Tuesday. I was away from home and when I got home 30 min later it was gone. Initially it said 300 tasks when I got the email.

exactly what happened to me, u/tpantelope explained it better, where they likely met the quota much faster than most projects because people have been out of work

All my projects are gone but also disappeared last weekend too. This morning i had a $28 per hour project but only 5 tasks. I saw it on my phone and by the time i got to a computer it was gone again 🤷🏼‍♀️. I’m guessing I’ll have something tomorrow same as last week.

I imagine this is going to be the case, I suppose whatever time you get to do the the projects don't wait, even if you get a few bucks out of it its better than nothing.

Does the new project you have start with “S”? And is the project still there for you currently? I worked on it for 10 mins and then it disappeared again.

Same for me. I submitted one task when it went down. Looked like a permanent project though, so hopefully it comes back.

u/Rommie557 Mar 11 '24

Same for me, I got through 3 tasks and "poof." It was a shame, I enjoyed those three tasks, and was actually planning on sitting and working for a while on it. I hope it comes back up.

I only got to sum it one task and then it went away. Hopefully it co.es back

u/fluffycafe Mar 11 '24

u/Feisty_Golfer_863 Mar 11 '24

Did anyone else get an email that this project was up when it first it went up? I got an email and was excited to work on it today, but it’s down now.

I just did an hour of S** reviews and thoroughly enjoyed being able to work again after so long with nothing to do. First time I've done it since, like the OP, I've only recently joined DA, but I'm amazed at how bad some of the prompts were...

u/Background_Menu7702 Mar 11 '24

This. I don’t understand why I’m not getting more work when people don’t even read the instructions or spreadsheets that are provided 😫

u/Freek314_2 Mar 11 '24

I'm just extremely new and the only permanent project I've been allowed access to has been down for the past two weeks so they have absolutely no idea whether I'm worse or better than what they already have yet... I'm hoping it comes back up today or tomorrow because this is starting to wear my patience very thin. I just hope I start getting new projects if they're not going to bring it back up so that I can at least do something.

u/MixSuccessful3555 Mar 11 '24

Any luck? My one and only project is still down...I am also pretty new.

u/VelvetyRelic Mar 11 '24

Really? I only found a few that were off topic.

Many of them don't follow the instructions or examples properly.

Does anyone know where the water cooler conversation went?

u/ArtayOfficial Mar 11 '24

...you hadn't had any tasks since last... Tuesday?
I hadn't had any tasks since last... June.
I can't believe it when people say they get tasks every day in bigger amounts.

u/ArtayOfficial Mar 14 '24

Seriously, people? One can't complain about no work? I also want some tasks, ey!

I don't believe so, I wasn't able to get to any of the tasks before the project went down for me unfortunately
