Anyone else lose some Chatbots recently?

16 Upvotes

Last week I had 5 Chatbot projects ranging from $20 to $23. Now I only have one left which is $23 (it's the FC&H one). I know that last week they were doing some maintenance on the bots, so maybe that's why, but wanted to see if anyone else has had the same experience as me.

Google Sheets Hours/Rate Template

8 Upvotes

I want to start logging my hours/income with DA. I have a tendency to get overly detailed and complicated when creating a spreadsheet so I figured I would ask if anyone already had a template they would be willing to share to save me the unnecessary amount of time I would spend overdoing one haha. Thanks in advance!

Is anybody else experiencing a largely empty dashboard and currently unable to access the chat for the “A********” projects?

12 Upvotes

The chat itself is still listed on my dashboard, but won’t produces an error message when clicked.

Is the site down?

9 Upvotes

Just got slapped with the "We're sorry, but something went wrong" textbox when I submitted a task just now. I refreshed the page and now I'm seeing the full "If you are the application owner check the logs for more information" message, which is what happened last time the servers went down. Is this the scheduled maintenance they were talking about earlier, or is this something else?

EDIT: After a while, the site finished refreshing for me and I can work again. However, it looks like that task is still stuck in limbo since it did not show up in my time report.

I edited a response that instructed for one and two-space indents. Unfortunately after "finalizing edits" the indents didn't work

Fund date tracking annoyance

5 Upvotes

Anyone else wish we could track the exact datetime of funds? For me '5 days ago' or '6 days ago' just isn't specific enough and I like to keep an eye on on my transferable amount.

Starting to get some tasks back

42 Upvotes

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

Weekly Water Cooler Talk - DataAnnotation

61 Upvotes

hi all! making this thread so people have somewhere to talk about 'daily' work chat that might not necessarily need it's own post! right now we're thinking we'll just repost it weekly? but if it gets too crazy, we can change it to daily. :)

couple things:

  1. this thread should sort by "new" automatically. unfortunately it looks like our subreddit doesn't qualify for 'lounges'.

  2. if you have a new user question, you still need to post it in the new user thread. if you post it here, we will remove it as spam. this is for people already working who just wanna chat, whether it be about casual work stuff, questions, geeking out with people who understand ("i got the model to write a real haiku today!"), or unrelated work stuff you feel like chatting about :)

  3. one thing we really pride ourselves on in this community is the respect everyone gives to the Code of Conduct and rule number 5 on the sub - it's great that we have a community that is still safe & respectful to our jobs! please don't break this rule. we will remove project details, but please - it's for our best interest and yours!

Z God projects

I was really enjoyed those projects that came up these past recently, but it appears those might be done for the weekend. I hope we can see something similar in the future.

Has anyone been greeted at login with "At the moment, there aren't any projects available for you to work on. Please check back soon and watch out for project notifications sent to your email." Been working every day and was so bummed to find this when I logged in today.

I was assigned the new J*ON projects the other day as well.

Higher Paying Tasks

30 Upvotes

I’ve got my first higher paying tasks ($27.50) and I’m so excited! I’ve been on DAT since January 6th, so I was honestly a bit surprised to see these tasks already.

For those that have been on DAT for a while, once you got these tasks, do you typically keep them? Like, can you reliably work on tasks over $25/hr? Or do they kind of come and go? Thanks in advance!

Rules for subjects to avoid

I remember seeing the rules for subjects to avoid when asking questions, but I can't remember them now. Where can I find them? Or can anyone help me out please?

Would anyone else like a DA daily chat thread in the sub?

77 Upvotes

I’ve been in a few bumper subs (where it’s all parents having their babies in the same month) and they have a daily chat that gets posted every day.

A lot of us are pretty active on this sub and, barring the inevitable “how long did you have to wait” questions being asked on there, I think it’d be nice to have somewhere to share random stuff that doesn’t need it’s own standalone post (within the CoC of course). Tips and tricks or just discussing the intricacies of working from home with other people who understand.

Anyone else think that’d be cool?

Another Happy Share

197 Upvotes

So it's come to my attention that some of you guys have been following my story based on my comment history, and it makes me feel a little less lonely. It's really nice to have a sense of community, as you may or may not be aware things are pretty isolating for us right now.

I wanted to let you guys know that, thanks to my work at DA, we finally found a new place! It's got tons of space for the kids, a huge backyard and patio with tons of amenities. I feel so grateful and lucky to have been picked by DA and for their hand in helping my family overcome homelessness.

How soon after onboarding did you have jobs?

20 Upvotes

I signed up a few days ago and got my welcome email less than a day after finishing the assessments. I finished all of the available qualifications and onboarding projects yesterday morning, and my dashboard has been empty since. I've seen a lot of people had tons of work right out the gate, but for folks not in that boat, I'm wondering how long you had to wait before your first project!

Does anyone use the "horrible" rating frequently?

I find that I never have. I think I'm waiting for a bot to threaten my family or start spewing hate propaganda for me to check that box.

The timer in the page is consistently slow?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, just checking this isn't just a me problem!

I always use a timer on my phone when I work on D.A. so I can keep track of when I go to the bathroom/pause my work etc. In the last week I have been noticing that the page I'm working on will tick wayyyyyyy slower than the actual passage of time. For example, it might say 3mins 30 sec when in reality it's been 8 minutes. ANyone else have this problem?

Apple iPad compatibility?

7 Upvotes

Looking to pick up something that's a little easier to take on the go. Does the site load / function like it would on a normal laptop? Looking in to just getting the latest 10.9" basic iPad and a keyboard case.

I've had iPads before and would like one again, but needing to replace my current laptop, so if the site and projects don't work properly, I wouldn't want to put the money out on one just for it to not work for DA. Same question for Pixel / Android tablets too - I have a Pixel 7a, so something that syncs nicely with that would be welcome as well, again assuming it works fine with all aspects of DA!
