I believe the "old" screen is the ewoq1 screen, whereas the default is usually the eqoq2 screen.

This is the most awful month I've ever had with LB; it's the 13th day of the month, and I only have 328 minutes of work in my TS (5hrs and 28 minutes.). I've had 7 entire days this month with 0 minutes of work (and I tried to access at a minimum morning, afternoon, and evening). I had 1 "good" day (a day with 206 minutes ... I consider any day with 100+ minutes of work a "good" day), and the other few days were 6, 12, 28 minutes etc.....

Something more is happening behind the scenes that we don't know of; I just wish they would let us in on the news/reason (whatever it is). Last month started off good, then went to hell to the last couple of weeks .. I only got 35 hrs of work that month (glad I worked hard the first couple of weeks). This month I'm getting no options to work hard or not

Hello! Whether somebody knows how long it is possible to study an exam guidelines? Is it okay, to study it two weeks for example?

What you're experiencing is actually the next phase of development in the project. They have found a way to implant a signal into the carrier wave produced by the graphics and tones in the Captchas on the worker portal. That's why they're so adamant everyone rate with the portal open in another tab. This signal interfaces with parts of your brain and during sleep you become a wireless node in LB's botnet--this way they only have to pay for occasional token tasks to maintain the ambient signal strength and they get you to rate in your sleep but don't pay you (they may work out a payment structure down the road but right now nothing in dream-space is monetized so there's no standard metrics, it'll probably be more like Mturk though.) If you thought the Client's other augmented reality product was going to be big wait until they roll out their Dream-Engine, talk about targeted marketing! Needless to say it incorporates seamless integration and default sharing with the Client's other platforms, social media, yada yada. Get ready to see some exciting new queries boys and girls! Screw mobile projects, by Christmas everything will be totally wireless and 100% solid state if you catch my drift. Anyway Rater 1 if you experience any existential nausea, excessive vomiting, vertigo, excessive nosebleeds, or acute psychosis you should contact Lionbridge's corporate physicians from that link on the portal immediately and they'll send out a Triage Team. Better to nip these symptoms in the bud; I've heard what happens when raters let that stuff get the better of them, go rogue, and LB has to send out a Recovery Squad to secure all that IP rattling around in your nutty noodle. It's sad what they do, but the NDA demands enforcement. Good luck out there!

Anyone got the t-bar thing email? I wonder if someone is already working with the thing installed. Sounds scary...

It basically just adds another PITA element, you have an additional login that has to be done everyday when you login (this one can't be saved, have to enter every character every single time). so you have three logins to do everyday: site, captcha, and tb, regardless if you get work or not, NRT. That's a minute and a half just logging in everyday to see if work is available, which I wouldn't mind if there was work, but I'm logging in now like 10 times a day just to get 4 minutes of a task work before NRT revolves around again which is like 10 x 1.5 minutes + 4 minutes for a task = 19 minutes to get 4 minutes of credited work on my ts.

Yes. I don't know why they still keep captcha going. My hope was not to see captcha anymore after the tb installation. But the dammned thing is still there.

I just refresh the page and the captcha goes away.

I have nothing about any t-bar in my email.

I did not receive anything about a t-bar either. Is it for certain positions or locations maybe???

and ditto on the refresh

I received the tbar email yesterday. I assume every rater will get one; it's supposed to become standardized like ewoq2.

That information is usually provided to you by Lionbridge along with the guidelines. If it was not, I'd contact them with this question.

Good luck!

New symptom. I think it's serious. I'm DYING, of laughter of the tear producing sort. NRT leads to such creativity.

I get more answers here than I do from LB. I thought that it was just me, glad to see that I am not alone in terms of having no work this month. I've been getting NRT consistently for about 3 weeks now. One would think LB would post a message to inform us what's going on. But maybe I'm asking to much.

Are you getting tasks this week using the add on? I'm not having much luck. I wasn't online at all Tuesday, but between Monday, yesterday, and now today I've only found about 3 hours, and that might even be too generous of an estimate.

Have there been any problems with the add-on affecting page loads? Awhile back I learned in the resolution process that add-ons might affect being able to load some pages.

There was actually work this MORNING! I haven't seen more that 5 mins work in the morning in a while. I managed to get 2 whole hrs in.

I would so much prefer to work in the mornings. I hate having to reorder my life to avoid NRT. Not to mention all the time wasted checking.

Oh no! You must have taken it all.

Glad someone is getting work! I failed this morning. Started trying around 9:30ish and got stuck in a warped reality of hitting refresh, refresh, refresh, and every so often it would give me a task, I'd go to do said task and PSYCH! no task! Lather, rinse, REPEAT, REPEAT, REPEAT. Not fun. Waste of the baby's nap, but I've only got about 3 hours all month.

I'm curious about that page refreshing software too. How does it work? Is it what helped you get tasks this morning, or did you just manage to hit a task rich, 2 hour, no refreshing required window?
