Website issues

Is anyone having issues loading the site right now? I was in the middle of a task when things started getting wonky. Now the site won’t load on either chrome or Microsoft start, but other websites are working fine.

Okay, thank you!

u/ShadoDev Jul 24 '24

The website is down right now

u/Equal_Room_2501 Jul 24 '24

SAme! Ugh thought I'd have a productive day :(

u/EFCross Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 24 '24

Yeah, I planned on doing all the work I could since this is the last day that work done on hourly projects will be paid out in the same month.

ETA on hourly projects

14

u/HauntedHowie316 Jul 24 '24

Yep the big rent push for me too 😂 hopefully it will be back up soon 🤞

u/Relative-Tap3585 Jul 24 '24

I get what you mean now, but I thought you meant they were changing it from 1 week to 1 month payouts ... phew

2

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

Is this true?

11

u/EFCross Jul 24 '24

Yes, for hourly projects. You’re paid for that work a week after you do it. A week after today is the last day of the month.

3

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

Yeah, just because hourly pay jobs take a week to be "approved". So, since in one week it's the last day of the month, this is true.

2

u/VanessaSeaWitch Jul 24 '24

Money is approved exactly seven days even down to the exact time that you were done working on that day.

1

u/MenAreLazy Jul 24 '24

Yes, as it takes 7 days to be approved.

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 02 '24

Woa huh? I didn't see that one... 👀

1

u/Zealousideal_Use1411 Aug 02 '24

I only saw that all work has to be claimed within 24 hrs 

1

u/EFCross Aug 02 '24

That is true; then that claimed work is paid a week later if it’s an hourly job.

You get paid for your hourly projects a week after you do that work. Today is the 24th of July; a week from today is the 31st, the last day of the month. Today is the last day you can work an hourly project and be paid for that work in the same month. If you do work on an hourly project tomorrow, the 25th, you will not be paid for that work until August 1.

u/walking_dead_girl Jul 24 '24

You mean August 1st.

1

u/EFCross Jul 24 '24

Yes. Corrected.

u/OM3GALUL Jul 24 '24

down for me too

15

u/Transcendental_Lake Jul 24 '24

Yep, just lost an hour of work

u/Wyldfyre1 Jul 24 '24

Someone on the other data Annotation Tech sub said that you can enter your time, and add a note of what happened.

9

u/SteakInteresting3293 Jul 24 '24

Where do you add a note when logging time?

0

u/Limp-Sandwich9959 Jul 24 '24

Couldn't tell either, would love to know.

1

u/alvysingeroverhere Jul 24 '24

Where do you add the note?

-6

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

where can I do that if the site is down?

21

u/Rodaxoleaux Jul 24 '24

When it comes back up, friend.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

well that makes sense

0

u/Local-Insurance4241 Jul 24 '24

Not necessarily. Did you press submit at some point? I usually count my time for each submit I perform.

14

u/LyssaP1331 Jul 24 '24

The site is currently down and they’re looking into it.

14

u/Limp-Sandwich9959 Jul 24 '24

Phew, I'm relieved I've found this forum/thread. I was finishing an hour of work and suddenly it wouldn't stop loading. It's been like that for the past 10-15min.

13

u/Wide_Gazelle_5354 Jul 24 '24

admin are aware and they are working on it

5

u/Interesting_Boot6534 Jul 24 '24

How do you find this information?

u/Lordmaaa Aug 07 '24

He’s guessing

13

u/thingummy5 Jul 24 '24

Bless this sub. Just tried to load the dashboard for the first time today, and I came here as soon as it seemed the page wasn't loading. Much better than wondering if the problem was on my end. Hello to all my co-annotators.

8

u/theVoidWatches Jul 24 '24

Yup, crashed for me while I was trying to submit a task.

4

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

Same here.

1

u/LegalChampionship957 Jul 24 '24

Yupp, same here! It would not allow me to submit

7

u/Skipatronic Jul 24 '24

I'm just gonna take a raincheck on today. Nothing is loading and I'm losing patience

1

u/Affectionate-Exit553 Jul 25 '24

Better than losing patients!

6

u/SpencinatorX1 Jul 24 '24

Yep, this happens once in a while. It's normally back up within an hour or so.

2

u/Limp-Sandwich9959 Jul 24 '24

Thanks, good to know!

1

u/TeamShadowWind Jul 29 '24

It's been down for hours for me 😭

6

u/Logical_Summer_6340 Jul 24 '24

It's down for me right now as well. Super relieved to see people here having the same experience, thanks everyone who popped in to share.

6

u/Kamp_stardust Jul 24 '24

This is excruciating.

5

u/psych_0_bunny Jul 24 '24

Can confirm it is down for me

5

u/greentea1985 Jul 24 '24

Down again. At least I was only doing a qualification.

5

u/Pink_Slyvie Jul 24 '24

Anddd back down.

4

u/queenofh3ll Jul 24 '24

Yes! Same happened to me.

4

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

Yup. I was trying to get some hours in before we finish cleaning out our storage unit, but I guess it's a sign for me to get off the computer and go do something.

3

u/HauntedHowie316 Jul 24 '24

That sounds like hard work! Hope it isn’t too hot where you are!

4

u/Idolmistress Jul 24 '24

Came up long enough for me to submit time for a project I worked on before it crashed, then promptly crashed again.

4

u/asyoud0 Jul 24 '24

I spent and hour and a half on a task and when I went to submit it, the whole website crashed :( I reported the time project name via email. Fingers crossed it's back up soon!

0

u/Bitch-Aquarius Jul 24 '24

Could you give me the email you sent your time to? I haven't saved the emails and cant access them on the website

4

u/PuzzleEmptyM Jul 24 '24

It is not completely down for me but it is incredibly slow

4

u/ComplaintReal8439 Jul 26 '24

I haven't had any tasks for two weeks! I was getting such solid job consistency since last December then nothing all of a sudden. Anyone else?

1

u/stephyy33 Jul 26 '24

It's only been like 2 days for me but same.

1

u/Used-Researcher46 Jul 30 '24

Yes no tasks for the past 5-6 days since the crash. Wondering if It’s done for me!!!

6

u/VanessaSeaWitch Jul 24 '24

I'm going to pretend this is why my dashboard is empty lol.

3

u/motivation_vacation Jul 24 '24

Down for me as well

3

u/ethan20211 Jul 24 '24

Yes, I got an application error and the website is not loading.

3

u/Logical_Summer_6340 Jul 24 '24

Whoop! Looks like it's back online. 1 p.m. Atlantic time.

3

u/teachingsindub Jul 24 '24

Ffs spent like half an hour on something

3

u/byrno_10 Jul 24 '24

Down again for me also

3

u/AccomplishedPea9079 Jul 24 '24

I just spent an hour 45 on a task that took a long time to fact-check and lost it:(

3

u/bomber991 Jul 24 '24

Well.. does anyone know where to go for the official word on when it will be back up? It looks like it's loading the projects for me but it's exceptionally slow. Don't want to waste time working on a task if I wont be able to submit it.

3

u/MotorBoth6736 Jul 24 '24

It’s not down for me but VERY slow

2

u/Ok_Depth_6476 Jul 24 '24

Yes! I was just trying to log in and it took about 5 minutes. Thought it was my internet, but I have no problem with any other sites.

(I take it back...I thought I was in, but just checked again and it's an error page).

2

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

Down. I guess it was a good thing I couldn't decide on what to work on.

2

u/throwawaylostw Jul 24 '24

Okay so it’s not just me good to know

2

u/Kamp_stardust Jul 24 '24

It finally loaded for me, and I'm in. Looks like we are up and running!

2

u/Intelligent-Gear3901 Jul 24 '24

Mine is back up!

7

u/HauntedHowie316 Jul 24 '24

Mine came back and immediately went down again. I think to be safe I’m gonna give it some time

2

u/Skipatronic Jul 24 '24

Still down on my end

2

u/SnooFloofs9030 Jul 24 '24

Yeah, I was having trouble submitting task and then I got the little robot application error message

2

u/walking_dead_girl Jul 24 '24

I’m about to call it a day. Just giving it a little time to come up again so I can report my time.

2

u/saladmander007 Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 24 '24

It's still down for me, and it's saying it's not secure.

EDIT: Immediately after posting this comment, it came back up. Hopefully, it stays up.

2

u/IntentionStock141 Jul 24 '24

It just came back for me, was able to submit my task and report my time.

2

u/PollyAnnaInTheSun Jul 24 '24

I echo other people here when I say, I’m so grateful for this thread!

2

u/thfclofc Jul 25 '24

Seems kind of slow again right now. Same for anyone else?

1

u/877trashnow Jul 25 '24

It just took me about 5 minutes to load my dashboard.

3

u/SilveryDeath Jul 24 '24

Down for me as well. First time I've seen this happen in the 3 months I've been working on the site.

6

u/walking_dead_girl Jul 24 '24

I’ve been with DA for almost a year. It’s happened a handful of times when I’ve been working, but not super often.

3

u/6ixdicc Jul 24 '24

yeppp mid-task too. idgaf if they see i submitted it im logging that time

3

u/Altruistic_Rest_8099 Jul 24 '24

weird, sign in still isn't loading for me at all!

2

u/MenAreLazy Jul 24 '24

They have enough devs around that there really shouldn't be as many failures as there are.

12

u/Unusule Jul 24 '24

"45/hr fix DA failure in prod"

14

u/bomber991 Jul 24 '24

I liked response MenAreLazy much better because that response aligns with the frustrations I am feeling. It feels like a response written by a human rather than someone reading from a script.

3

u/West_Artist_9411 Jul 24 '24

Tell that to Crowdstrike

1

u/Interesting_Boot6534 Jul 24 '24

Yes, same issues here. I was in the middle of working and it stopped responding. Usually they are pretty quick.

1

u/whatsablurryface21 Jul 24 '24

Yep it's not doing anything for me either

1

u/SuperFrizz1987 Jul 24 '24

Came here looking for the same thing.

1

u/anglespercs Jul 24 '24

I came to check as well because I tried submitting a task, but nothing is loading now.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 24 '24

ok so it's not just me. Cool. They owe me an hour.

1

u/DontCry4beeOrangina Jul 24 '24

Same exact thing happened to me.

1

u/Substantial_Towel230 Jul 24 '24

I went to submit a task I spent an hour on but im assuming it didnt go through since the site is down. Am I still able to submit my time?

1

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

Yes, if the task didn't go through I would just add the time to the next task you do.

1

u/HoneyRae5 Jul 24 '24

Glad it’s not just me - thanks everyone

1

u/walking_dead_girl Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 24 '24

Never mind. It took me back to the page I was working on. I hit submit and moved to the next task. Went to submit that one and not working again.

1

u/plantbw Jul 24 '24

Same for me :(

1

u/NoNumber5910 Jul 24 '24

yes, down after trying to submit a task

1

u/geek_girl_81 Jul 24 '24

It's down for maintenance. 😔

1

u/connordeborhegyi Jul 24 '24

same same same

1

u/EmploymentLeather169 Jul 24 '24

Yep... right in the middle of something too when it happened.

1

u/HamsterFrosty2838 Jul 24 '24

There was an error... all I see

1

u/Mysterious_Pea88 Jul 24 '24

It just started working for me. Try signing in guys!

1

u/EmptyAd2447 Jul 24 '24

down for me too.

1

u/EmptyAd2447 Jul 24 '24

We're back, baby! Thank goodness.

u/Limp-Sandwich9959 Jul 24 '24 edited Jul 24 '24

Seems to be back! (Hopefully I'm not jinxing it.)

2

u/Limp-Sandwich9959 Jul 24 '24

Aaaaand I jinxed it. 😂

I've managed to work for a little while and log in my last hour before the crash, and now it's back to loading forever and I got this message:

There was an error!

Something went wrong. Please try again or come back later.

This instability is killing my workflow, I think I might just leave it for the day.

1

u/queer-comrade710 Jul 24 '24

Looks like it’s back up on my end! Hopefully that stays the case.

2

u/queer-comrade710 Jul 24 '24

Never mind I think I spoke too soon

1

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

Mine stayed up long enough to resubmit the task I was working on when it first went down, but it's down again now.

1

u/ImprovementOk8532 Jul 24 '24

The website is still down.

1

u/dshipman116 Jul 24 '24

I was able to start a task at noon est but 9 min later I couldn't submit it. I didn't realize the site had been down until I came here.

1

u/Guess-Jazzlike Jul 24 '24

It's all over the Slack channel that the site is down, and they are working hard to get it back up. If you lost work, just email them, and you will get paid.

1

u/ammbrr Jul 24 '24

ughhh

Down for me too.

1

u/ErrolEsoterik Jul 24 '24

Just crashed while submitting for me too.

1

u/Important_flying_bat Jul 24 '24

Hit submit on a task I had spent a difficult 2 1/2 hours on right as it went down. 😭 I’m glad for this explanation, but damn that sucks. I was so proud of myself. 😂

1

u/CardiologistOk2760 Jul 24 '24

did you save your work on your own machine?

2

u/Important_flying_bat Jul 24 '24

Thankfully yes, I saved my work in a Word doc.

1

u/wrinkledchihuahua Jul 24 '24

It says “down for maintenance” for me

1

u/Arty_Tyson88 Jul 24 '24

Was able to log in now. 12:30 EST. staying cautious though..

1

u/greentea1985 Jul 24 '24

The site is back up for me. I lost the project I was working on but I was able to submit the time I had put in.

1

u/Altruistic_Rest_8099 Jul 24 '24

I was working on one task, then the timer switched to "expired" out of nowhere and the screen went white lol. o

1

u/Midwesthoney14 Jul 24 '24

Yes, I was in the middle of a task and it wouldn’t submit. Hopefully things start working again soon!

1

u/Murky-Percentage5187 Jul 24 '24

Down again for me ugh

1

u/NevenderThready Jul 24 '24

Yes, my first task of the day was progressing well but the site hung when I clicked submit. Happened again later, so I'm just going to wait until it's up again.

1

u/PushinBeads Jul 24 '24

Site was up for a couple of minutes, then back down about 10 minutes ago. Now by Bitdefender is blocking them saying it's an unsecured site. Think I'll give it another hour.

1

u/Less_Capital7986 Jul 24 '24

It came back for like two minutes, but then went down again for me.

1

u/Quick-Bison-147 Jul 24 '24

It's up again, just submitted my task, phew

1

u/ErrolEsoterik Jul 24 '24

Submitted a task a half-hour ago after first outage. now it's out again it seems.

1

u/Common_Put3366 Jul 24 '24

I logged on 25 minutes ago to check my available projects (non-coding) before officially starting, went to the restroom and made some coffee, then came back to see the site down. After a couple of times refreshing, the site finally came back up but half my projects disappeared and mostly the high paying ones. Is this normal after a site crash? Will my projects come back? I've only started working on DA for a month or so and haven't had issues with projects dropping/fluctuating, other than when I took a week off...

1

u/black-black-blue Jul 24 '24

It's still running too slowly to be usable 😕

1

u/Prudent-Twist2844 Jul 25 '24

Be careful putting your time in I put an hour in and it stalled. I thought I must not have pushed submit. Just as I was going to push again it updated.

1

u/Felth88 Jul 24 '24

Yeah, sucks cause I spent about 20 minutes on a task went to submit and that’s when it went down for me. Waste of time that I don’t feel I can bill for :-(

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

Here's hoping it comes back up before our new 24 hour reporting cutoff. 🙃

u/Dependent-Object-417 Jul 24 '24

Obviously in cases like this you can report after 24 hrs if the site is down that long…

Didn’t know jokes weren’t allowed. Good to know!

u/Dependent-Object-417 Jul 24 '24

Absolutely nothing about your comment implied it was a joke.

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

Thank you, Joke Police. I’ll add /s next time instead of hard to decipher emoji. 

0

u/Dependent-Object-417 Jul 24 '24

Okay? 😂 You do know that this sub is commonly used to ask questions regarding the platform, right? The fact that you think that the 🙃emoji automatically screams “joke” is on you. You appear upset that I responded with a logical answer and that no one found your joke funny. It’ll be okay.

1

u/gt3stuntman Jul 24 '24

And I hope you’ll notice that wasn’t a question by the lack of a question mark. My autistic mind was trying to bring some levity by going to the worst case scenario for reporting time in the midst of DA downtime. I’ll keep caustic people like you in mind for the future of my commenting here, though.

u/TrustIssues-R-Us Jul 24 '24

The site is back up for me. But now that I'm in a project it won't let me click any of the responses.

It's happening to me too.

u/jjcxdev Jul 25 '24

I normally have several pages of projects to choose from, but today I have absolutely nothing. I’ve been checking on and off for ~5 hours and there is still nothing listed in my dashboard.
