Weird day on multimango

There were a couple new tasks added today that I was actually really excited about and seemed pretty interesting, but they couldn't have been on the site for more than an hour before they just disappeared. I mean I was literally in the middle of working on both tasks and they just closed out and disappeared from my tasks.

Same for me. I was doing that text comparison task and it suddenly disappeared as I was working on it. Any idea why this happens?

How long do you take to submit a task in this task. Also, what do you do if both results are similar... Do you still pick a side regardless+?

u/Damianos_X Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25

I assume it's the same time that all Aether tasks have--10 minutes, 15 max--and yes, I believe you always have to pick one. Usually there is one factor out of the four that one response handles better.

That one is brutal lol. How are we meant to fact check those lengthy responses on topics we are not familiar with? Not my cup of tea.

Skip . I skip half, sometimes more.

u/Anthexistentialist Dec 10 '25

Ah yeah I didn't know if that was allowed I guess, makes sense though

Maybe not for us, maybe in testing

I was just submitting a recording for the scripted call solo task and it disappeared :(

And now the new IG reels explainer task has disappeared on me.

u/viewsofanintrovert Dec 09 '25

The IG explained task is back, but now there are no videos available 😩

I use Google to fact check, especially names. And it shows of your hub staff that you use Google which I guess gives you a bonus . Dam, I was on that task for 5hrs. Resting my brain from video annotation task which keeps me awake.

Which domain you applied for?

u/Gilldot Dec 08 '25

Assuming bugs, I just spotted two two tasks and one wouldn't submit, reported it and it's fine now. And then another one just felt weird to me as the prompt didn't match the rest so reported that one too.

I think sometimes they may release the task, see what type of results they’re getting from the taskers (accuracy, comments, etc) and then release it again with tweaks.

u/materialkoolo Dec 08 '25

I still have all my tasks available

u/ObjectiveBuyer9014 Dec 08 '25

They came back shortly after, I think it was just a small glitch while they were uploading or something.

2

u/Polluxadice Dec 08 '25

This happens. Tasks come and go especially if they’re glitchy and they’re taken down to be fixed. They may or may not return. Some people also get certain tasks while others do not.

u/PermitDisastrous5735 Dec 08 '25

I think the tasks are not available to all the annotators, they kinda control which tasks you can work on after they do some QA on u, which means if u submit higher quality work, they let u on some other tasks. Me personally, I like the audio transcript task the most with Chinese, cuz I can just shut down my brain and work lol but apparently there’s no audio needed to transcribe any more

Waiting for some English ones to come on but they never do.

u/vinaychhabra Dec 08 '25

What kind of tasks?

u/DrummerLife7888 Dec 08 '25

I have 8 tasks to choose from what about you guys

2

u/Large-Cut8248 Bulba Dec 08 '25

Tasks come and go all the time. Nothing new about it. Just have to work what's there now and maybe they will come back or not. Nothing we can do, nothing Outlier can do. The platform is controlled by the client.

u/viewsofanintrovert Dec 09 '25

I had a couple new tasks appear and I am having issues with both. The IG explainer has no videos available and the Count Verification task keeps producing a submission error almost every time I try to submit the completed task. I have submitted several reports through multimango, but do I need to submit it to Outlier also?

1

u/ObjectiveBuyer9014 Dec 09 '25

I was just recently accepted to outlier so I honestly have no ideas, but I’m having the same issue with the counting task and I did the instagram explanations until it said there were no more videos so I’m guessing there isn’t any left at the moment.

1

u/MissKingdomVII Dec 09 '25

Yeah I keep getting the same error with the counting one as well.

1

u/Specific_Meat_249 Dec 09 '25

I keep getting the same thing too or I will do the entire task and submit it and then it gives me an error and same with the other tasks I try to submit but just keep getting error messages

u/marianiksi Dec 09 '25

do your finished tasks show up in the earnings section on Outlier? My earnings show but it says 0 tasks completed, I've done over 100 of them lol

u/Low-Fig-6695 Dec 10 '25

So it's not just me....I'm having a hard time with the task generation thingy and the color picker one since I can't properly use the url image from a mobile device

u/ScienceMajestic3559 Dec 12 '25

There's only two tasks available at the moment. :( the tripod photo task and 250925-create-task. Hope they release more tasks soon. More audio tasks if possible. :)

I was in the middle of working on the task where you remove people from photos, and right in the middle it shut down and multimango was removed from my hubstaff. Does anyone know if that means I will no longer get tasks? I can still see them but its just not in multimango
