OT: ChaCha

[Mom2micayla]

It's still solidly back to back for me, even with the new 20 question limit.

What I do wonder though, is for those people that want something like lyrics or directions that take multiple texts, is that going to count towards their 20 too? That wouldn't take anytime at all!

ETA: I'm so tired of the loading issues and not being able to see how much I've made. It make it hard to want to bother doing anything when you can't even track your progress!

I have been using a tally sheet to keep track. Many times it will take 10 minutes of reloading to see my progress.

Yes the MORE questions will count to their 20, so I think we will be seeing less of those questions soon. I think we will also get less sports updates, and stuff that requires numerous texts in 1 evening. It is really a shame on the timing, I bet there would have been lots of people texting in often tomorrow night to get election results.

I agree the MORE's will count towards their texts. I'm trying even harder now to fit everything in.

This is really ridiculous, it has become soooo slow! I used to get back to back! Now you cant even see how many ?'s you have done either! What is going on here! Can we email somewhere a complaint!

 

[Disney1976]

VERY slow tonight. Not getting any questions, and it's usually back to back? Anyone else having trouble. Also, it says I've only answered 172 questions to date, even though I know since Sunday I've done at least 300? What gives?

I've given up for today. I had some pretty significant goals for myself and the time to do them, but NO questions! I even have my specialist categories set up and I'm nowhere near B2B like some of the guides. I just don't get it. I've also had several where I get the same IS that I already answered. It almost seems like you get stuck on a server that might be slow and fielding from the same region while other guides are on servers that are flying? Is that even possible?

 

[Disney1976]

I keep getting booted tonight too. 3 times already in the last 5 minutes, twice while trying to answer questions.

 

[Jperiod]

I've been B2B all night with my specialist questions only. But just got kicked out, so I'm stopping for the night.

How do you set up specialist questions? I thought I saw something about keywords, but wasn't sure. Thanks!

 

[megthewonderful]

I must not be logging in at good times, because since the 20 question limit was instituted, I have not had a steady flow of questions in awhile. I am worried about hitting 200 questions this week! That's crazy. Usually, I have no problem reaching 300!

 

[graygables]

I ChaCha in 30 minute chunks and just had a 0 session. I'm not sure I'll make 200 this week either, although I've been TG for 3 weeks now, BUT, I also got 3 (count 'em, 3) QCs this week, 2 for accuracy.

 

[dawz1026]

I have not had 1 hit yet and Ive been on since 8am..this really bites to say it nicely.

 

[momejay]

I think they atuomated the QC. It is rediculous! I hit bad on a really bad answer & got a QC as if the answer was mine.
The question was something like...how do I get my girl back? The answer was smile & don't be cliched. They sited a grey site that I don't use.
I am not hitting any buttons as I don't want it to call attention to myself. I had been working since July with only two QCs ever until this button came out.
I think there are problems with the system & QCs! I hope they get it repaired soon.

 

[graygables]

One of the QCs was totally my fault and was on purpose. The IS was looking for a term that was in the Urban Dictionary, if you get what I mean, but I was NOT going to give that response, sorry. So, I used the regular dictionary to define the terms. Technically, my response was very accurate, but the QC folks didn't like my "creativity".

The 2nd one, I didn't understand, but after I posted it to the forum, I got it. Sort of. Seemed a little ticky-tacky to me, but oh, well.

I have had NO questions today in an hour that I've been on. Not a single one.

 

[Nanu57v]

I haven't had any QC's since the 3 google ones where the link was cut off on the end. I posted in the forum about it, and an employee said that happens in the QC database sometimes. I wrote feedback, never heard back, but no more QC's.


To whoever asked about Keywords...Its categories now, not keywords. On your main page there should be a link to hit "select categories" or something. Maybe it says keywords. My brain is not functioning. It definitely says "Select..." Choose that.

 

[Nanu57v]

It says, "Select categories and choose interests" under available steps.

 

[Jperiod]

Once you set up categories, it takes a day or two for them to be reviewed and approved by HQ, so you won't suddenly see questions.

Think of the kinds of questions you received most often prior to the limit and the ones you enjoyed answering. Pick those. The "easy" questions are gone, I rarely get a joke, but there are still lots of who is, business look ups, weather, sports, finance, etc. I picked categories that are popular, not necessarily the fastest answers, but at least I know exactly where to find answers so I am only limited to my internet speed and typing skills. Thankfully I haven't had to hunt for a car or sport related question all week since my categories are in effect. I also haven't had to deal with hardly any xplicit questions.

 

[dawz1026]

Do u get more hits with a profile set up?

 

[DVCBELLE]

I have not had any issues with flow - I think the system works great now and is back to back for me...

I am a bit baffled this week - I got 3 QCs - but my QC rating was a 100% - I was really worried about making top guide but can't figure out how I got a 100 when I had 3 QCs -one might be in next weeks but the other two would definatly have fallen into this week. I have never had below a 100 QC even with QC emails - can someone explain that to me?
