It works for maybe 70% of people and fails for the other 30%.... Here is a link to the study. http://research.millisecond.com/nashby/Bundled.web

If it cannot contact the server for some reason (e.g., because a local firewall on the participant's machine blocked communication or the internet connection went down entirely), it will prompt the participant to save the file locally and contact the researcher. If a participant declines to save the file, the data is lost. I unfortunately cannot tell you why some (many?) of your participants may be experiencing problems without you providing a link to the respective launch page. In general, you should make sure it's using the latest Inquisit Web version and that the script is properly activated.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 78, Visits: 159	So I have been running a study on Mturk and while the normal problems are found (missing data, participants cant get it to run or it breaks halfway through) I am having a huge problem with data not being uploaded/saved to inquists server so when I go to retrieve the data its just not there. Anyone have this problem and know of any fixes? I am wondering where the file is saved on the persons computer before the upload, maybe its just sitting there and if they search for it they could email it to me? This is a huge problem of course as I am either having to pay for work that is missing or getting a ton of complaints and a very bad rep for not paying for the work.
