Anyone besides me having problems here?

You know, I saw that link... way back before I tried to do a task. Then, I couldn't remember where I saw it! Thanks for the link! I selected another task and was able to accept it and post. They're reviewing it now. I'll try going back to that task that I had so much trouble with because I've already written the 4 paragraphs, dang it! If I still am unable to accept that task, I'll write to myLot. Thanks again for the link!!!

Happy to help!

Thank you for adding this link, I had not seen it and had questions I needed answered too.

Great am glad MW now you will be able to do some writing, I'm not that good at it but can but try and see what happens..hugs littleowl

Well, it figures that I'd select the ONE task that is having problems! LOL I selected another task and was able to submit that with no problems. They're reviewing my submission right now. I might try going back to the original one since I've already written the 4 paragraphs... maybe NOW I can submit it!

I selected another 'task' and was able to post. Maybe it's just that one task that they're having problems with? Did you select the one about Westclox? That's the one I had trouble with. I had no problems with the second one.

The one I selected still had two of eight openings, so that wasn't the issue. I wrote to myLot about it and they said they were aware of the problem and were working to correct it. Unfortunately, they corrected it but, before I was able to post my article, it was gone. At least I was able to select another task and all went well with that one. I guess I should stick to selecting tasks with more than eight articles wanted, huh? LOL

Good good good, at least you got the resolution you wanted.

Thanks, ahgong. After dozens of unsuccessful attempts at trying to apply for that one task, I finally wrote to myLot. They told me that they were having some problems and they would be fixed as soon as possible. I was finally able to accept that task and submit my article AND it was accepted! I was sooooo happy! But, now, it looks like the initial start was somewhat of a tease since the tasks are few and far between after that first day. Hopefully, they'll get everything worked out and running smoothly soon.

Nooooo...you are NOT "Heronymous Merkin" with a little black cloud hanging over his head. From all the posts that I am reading, there is a bunch of little glitches that need to be worked out! I think this is a little like a "Boxing Day Sale" or "Black Friday"....there was just such a feeding frenzy for the(and will be for the first little while)the system is probably overwhelmed! I am just one of those people and sit back, til the hoarding crowds have filled their troughs, and by then, usually all the glitches are worked out! Cheers! Love YA!

I received an alert from them. Maybe it takes them awhile to get to everyone. There is a "tasks" link above that should give you more info about this. I'm sure they have quite a few bugs yet to work out, or maybe it's just with the one I first selected. But, I selected another one and was able to accept that task and submit it. I went back to the first one where I was having all the problems and I STILL can't 'accept' that task! It figures I'd choose the only one with issues! Story of my life.

No, the one I was referring to had to do with writing 4 paragraphs about a particular subject, in this case, Westclox pocket watches. Each time I refreshed the page where you can "accept this task", it would keep taking me back to that same page, saying that there were 2 openings left. I even logged off myLot and back on again, but the same thing happened. Eventually, hours later, I was able to submit the paragraphs I had already written and it was accepted. As for them listing the number left under a specific task, they should completely remove them from the list of available tasks when enough people have accepted the task. If someone drops out, they can list one available. But, having written to myLot about this and receiving a response, I know they were having many problems to work out when they first started. It's obvious that they're still having some problems since they either have no tasks available or very few available as compared to that first day, when they had dozen's available. I hope it all gets straightened out because I really did enjoy the few tasks I was able to submit and get approved. I'd love to do more, like at least one a day.

Yes, it looked like a glitch to me as well. I'm glad you finally managed to submit your work. I didn't bother contacting admin as my task was only worth 10p, but when it's an article it's worth it. Good luck with your next one!
