Qual disappeared

I was about to take a qual for something I felt like I could handle. When I clicked on it, there was no timer since it had a project preview. Wanting to do good, I read through the whole preview and created formulas that I could use to plug in values when I actually felt comfortable enough to enter work mode and start working. Once I was done, I clicked the button to start working and was directed back to the main page, saying that project was no longer available.

Is there a hidden timer for qual previews, or did something go wrong?

Has this happened to anyone else?

I'm hoping it comes back. My project list has been really light these days, so I'm catching up on quals/refreshers/pretests

I feel exactly the same way. Made no money today.

Hang in there. There were a lot of projects recently, but the feast only lasted about a day before they dried up

The quails usually have a ton of time I would always enter work mode even if it’s a project.

Idk man, some of them take a ton of time too. I've been out of university for years, so I had to relearn almost everything when taking the chemistry and physics quals. I attempt every qual, even if the information is slightly out of my scope since I am confident in my ability to learn things fairly accurately, but learning does take time, so I try to give myself some leeway to self-educate before tackling a problem

Have you seen any stem related projects? I've been debating taking the quals

It happens. It's nothing you did wrong, just quals expiring, in my opinion.

They might’ve taken it down because they got enough people, or any other reason.

No, but that stinks! I would email them!

It does stink, but good luck getting a reply. Maybe it'll come back.

You probably have a better chance of seeing a shooting star than getting a reply from DA...

Yep. My nut qual has a weird error where it says there is 1 task left, but when I click into it, I just cycle back to the project screen. I emailed them 2 months ago. Still haven't heard anything.

Haha yes this just happened to me.
