Hi!
I am currently having some difficulties with launching my experiment online.
I told Inquisit to assign subject IDs in a sequential order to my participants. However when I take a look at the log file, subject ID 7 for example is used 3 times in a row.
This ruins the functioning of my experiment since I need 3 groups of the same size. I assigned subject 1 of 3 to Group 1, subject 2 of 3 to Group 2 and subject 3 of 3 to Group 3. This worked perfectly fine using the Lab Version.

Is it possible that this problem only occurs because I have been testing the study on my computer several times in a row? Maybe Inquisit is able to recognize which computer and browser I am using and thus assigns the same ID to one person if he/she is rerunning the experiment in a very short time.

Any help is very much appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
