Mechanical Turk - can't view HIT, appears blank - mechanicalturk

I m trying to setup a few image categorization tasks on Mechanical Turk sandbox developer version. When I try to view the HIT(the annotation image), it appears blank. I clicked on the 'Accept HIT' button but I still couldn't see anything.
In order to make sure that nothing was wrong with my project setup in particular, I signed in as a worker to accept HITS on other projects involving image categorization. I still continue to see a blank image in their categorization projects, where the image to be annotated is supposed to be displayed.
Can anyone help with this problem?Thanks.

Problem solved - it was a simple browser incompatibility problem.

I know you have already answered this for yourself, however for other requesters out there I think this may be useful.
I was developing HITs and I too was having issues view the HIT in Sandbox in Chrome and Firefox, I realized that it had something to do with the script being blocked by the browser and the way to fix this was to "unblock the content" - usually a shield icon in the URL bar.
When further developing my HIT I added information about how to see the HIT in the description box of the HIT so turkers could read the instructions and then work on the HIT - to be absolutely clear to the turkers, I added a "(READ DESCRIPTION)" in the title so turkers would know where to look.
Hope this helps!

How can my app appear in mobile safari URL bar as a app store suggestion (like slack)?

What technical requirements or methods do I need to implement to make my app appear in the URL browser under "app Store" suggestions in safari? This is what happens if I am typing in "slack" straight into the url bar of safari. It also appears if I haven't installed slack at all --> that's what I would like to implement as well.
Is that a auto suggestion-tool by safari which we can not influence at all?
Any hints to make that happen? Here's an image of Slack on Safari:
Thanks a lot!
These suggestions are known as Safari or Siri Suggestions, and appear to be controlled solely by Apple/Safari itself.
One source on Quora says,
“Siri Suggested Websites” are search results that come directly from Apple’s own search engine, based on websites they’ve crawled and indexed. It’s not based on your search history (or even anything you’ve done with Siri).
I wonder if your app would show up as a Suggestion if it was unique or popular enough in Apple's search indices...

There is a question mark in my prestashop window. It wasn't there before

I just opened my store today. Before hosting firm directed my domain name to my IP there was no problem.
When I the site is activated some people wanted to change some links. I did that in a hurry maybe that caused an error. Later when I check my site I saw a big question mark on the right. I put all of the files back from my backup but the problem still exists. Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you

This is a missing image. Whenever an image (products, categories etc) is missing in prestashop, this question mark image is shown. It is 404.gif (or any other image format) placed in the img folder of the prestashop.
There may be two reasons to this issue:
1) At header section, it seems like you have a missing image (i think one of the social icons). This is the recommended case. Please check your images. I think it is one of the icon for social images.
2) This may be not the reason, but whenever there is some problem in the paths for images, prestashop display the 404 or question mark image. But it seems like paths are fine as other images are shown.
Proposed Solutions : First check in F12 tool (dont know what is it called :P ) that specific element i.e. right click on that question mark image and then select the Inspect Element, you will have the F12 tool opened. Check there and share the HTML code. Also please share some code before and some after that, so that it can be easily checked.

No way to accept Itunes Connect Agreement Update

I'm walking in circles trying to create a new app in Apple's Itunes Connect. Here are the steps I'm doing:
When I log in to Itunes Connect I'm seeing a screen asking me to "Review the iOS Developer Program License Agreement."
I click continue and then I'm presented with a "Manage Your Apps" screen.
I click Add New App and it sends me to... the Agreement Update again:
So I click on Members Center this time and it goes here:
Clicking on Itunes Connect sends me back to... yes, the Agreement Update once more.
How do I solve this issue? Where is the secret door to adding a new app?
I got stuck here too - here's how it went for me:
Nothing showed up in iTunesConnect's finance/agreement area at first (... even though the links kept sending me there!)
I eventually found something to view/accept at the top of the general Apple Member Center home page.
After step 2, something new finally showed up in iTunesConnect's finance/agreement area that I could accept
After above steps I was able to continue what I was trying to do in iTunesConnect which, in my case, was setting up some new promo codes for my app.
Had the same problem. Tried clearing cookies and cache per above recommendations, nothing. Waited 20m, bingo. Looks like your contract acceptance has to go through some review process, whether manual or automatic, taking a bit of time. I imagine the cookies/cache-clearing having worked was simply you cleared at the right time.
Solution: Open the Link https://itunesconnect.apple.com from Laptop Not Mobile. It will ask you to Accept the Terms and condition. While you open the link from mobile the Accept option will not visible to you. So open the link from Laptop and Accept the terms and condition.

Show a single thumbnail when posting on facebook

A little background info is that my team and I developed a website for a Real Estate Agency and I've been assigned the task of setting the image of the currently selected property into facebook's sharing feature.
The webpage for the property is dynamic as there are several listings, so what I've done is select the first image that is loaded on the page and set it to the og:image meta tag.
Now let's say I copy the URL and post it on Facebook, it'll show the correct thumbnail, HOWEVER, it'll also show multiple thumbnails from other listings.
All images on the website are over 200 x 200px and are within an aspect ratio of 3:1.
My question is, how do I tell Facebook to only take my initial image and not grab others while it's as it.
Is there perhaps a SelectSingleImage property that I can apply?
I've already spent more time searching for the answer to this issue than I would have liked, so thanks for any help provided, it's much appreciated.
One method I use sometimes is to recognize Facebook's server and simply provide it with different data. This way you can actually only have one image on the page (as far as Facebook knows).
I don't know anything about vb.net, but here is a simple code sample in PHP. All it does is perform a regular expression on the user agent of the request to match it against the string "facebook".
$isFacebook = false;
if(preg_match("/facebook/",strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]))) {
$isFacebook = true;
}
Facebook may very well change their user agent signature one day, but for now, I'm pretty sure you'll be safe but keep synced with the Developers Blog and the Roadmap.
It seems that Facebook saved those images in cache for some bizarre reason, but to resolve this issue all I had to do was enter the URL into Facebook's Linter tool which in turn cleared the cache on their server.

Safari 6's New Developer Toolbar doesn't show Form Data in XHR/AJAX Requests

Safari recently went to version 6 (Lion/Mtn Lion) and they've changed over from the standard webkit dev tools to one that's much more XCode looking, my problem other than the OCD of not liking things change is that in the resource tab (or anywhere you can track down the DataService.aspx/AJAX calls) I can no longer see the form data that I am passing.
Can anyone point me to where I can find that data so I don't have to console out my params when I'm testing new data service/backend calls?
I've logged a bug with Apple, they've marked it as a duplicate so hopefully they've received enough requests to fix this, until then I'm continuing to use chrome as the webkit developer is the same as safari's old version.
You can find this info in Instrument tab (stop-watch icon). In the left sidebar thers Timelines row, click the grey circle (record button) on the right. Then click to Network Requests where you see all reqs, and you have to click small icon on the right oc request to display response headers and all form data are available in right panel. Panel can be hidden same as left one (in case you dnt see it).
Unfortunately there are no query pamaters listed, according to this disscussion. I belive its a bug in safari
Edit 15.May 2013: This bug was fixed in Safari 6.0.3.
As far as I can tell, there's no way to show the request parameters.
This goes even further. I can't see the JSON response data either (no clickable arrows to show the containing Javascript objects within the JSON, just pure text)
I think we have to switch to Firefox /w Firebug or regular Webkit in order to get XHR monitoring...
Guys if you want to see post data in safari 6 which is not possible right now, install the firebug lite extension and there you go you have the post data.
I used it and it works great with safari 6
Actually the request headers, response headers and query parameters are in the details sidebar on the right when using the resources view or if you click to see the content of a request in the Timelines/Network Requests view. Took me a few minutes to find that too.
If you need to see what the device is actually sending and your server is on a Windows Machine I use http://www.Wireshark.org and check on the server side of things. No interpretation by any WebKit stuff and very valuable (such as issue with iOS and the 'Blob' data). Similar network snooping should exist on Mac as well.
