I wrote my study in Inquisit script, which runs as expected on my own computer. However, once it is uploaded to Inquisit Web to be posted for participants, the link does not lead to a study, but rather to a page that says they had already participated in the study (see screenshot below). 

What is the issue here? How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Impossible to say with certainty without you providing the actual link, but at a guess:

You've designed your script to expect numeric subject IDs for condition assingment purposes. Your web participants' IDs, however, aren't numeric. Condition assingment is a mathematical operation, so it cannot work with non-numeric IDs, i.e. no condition can be assigned and adiministered. The solution is to either change your script to assign conditions differently (e.g. group ID instead of subject ID) or make sure your participants' IDs are numeric.
