I have a real problem with tasks on Mylot i know that they are very helpful to reach pay out ETC, but some of the tasks ask the most random stuff. Ok they have their specialist blogs/ websites that they have to fill up.
What really annoys me about the tasks is in the description it give you a long wafflely commentary about what you have to do and by the end of it you still have no idea what they are asking you to do, yea there is the obvious "research about a given keyword" but then when you read it you are still confused especially when they don't give you the keyword!!! Now that annoys me because what is really the point of starting the task when it's impossible to complete?

It's my pleasure! I really enjoy completing some of the tasks when I get the opportunity (especially the writing ones), so I'm glad to share whatever experience I've gained 'til now :D

Thanks for the information! I thought it would work like the messages tab and tell you how many were in there. I am so glad you told me otherwise!

I haven't really tried reseach and posting tasks. I really find it daunting, almost difficult to do. Or probably it is just making used to it. I usually do writing tasks as it is completely understandable and for me easier to do with higher pay.

Hi there! From time to time, tasks get posted in error. When you see something like #Keyword#, that is an error. If you tried to accept a task like that, it probably wouldn't let you anyway - and, as you said, you can't do a task if you don't know its subject matter :) If you open a task, look right away to make sure there are keywords before you spend time reading all the rest of the detail. When there are no errors, the keywords are there and also, in the case of writing tasks, there is also a series of words and phrases that should also be considered / included. Good luck! :)

That was the problem occured yesterday on one of the three research tasks. The other two are fine and I completed them except on the one with the bug, it has a lot of slots too but it can't be completed because the keyword was hidden. Another problem in the past few days was the task was unable to accept and it just reloads the page, I already reported it on the task creator except on the task with hidden keyword even when accepted.

Hello, goapples! Well, one of the three research tasks got a problem in it but the other two are fine. Even the task was accepted, the keyword is still hidden. There might be a bug on that. Good thing, I completed some research tasks except the one that got a problem in it. You can report that problem to the task creators or the staff so that it will get fixed. Happy mylotting!
