Is there a way to change the background color of certain (video) trials? I'm running an experiment where the participants are Deaf signers, and I'm looking for a way that's not text to distinguish between different trial types. Specifically, I have video stimuli followed by a forced choice response, and every 4th of those trials is followed by a video recorded comprehension question. I would like the comprehension question trials to have, for example, a blue background.
Is that possible?

Hi Rachel! 
I just saw yesterday that there is a new feature within the choice responses that allows experiment designers to remove the hints from choice responses. I tried it out and it worked for me for one trial, but then when I ran the experiment again, it no longer stopped showing hints (I was trying this out in a dummy experiment with only one trial). I didn't change the code in my response, and this is what it looks like: 
{
  "type": "choice",
  "choices": [
    "F",
    "J"
  ],
  "key_mapping": [
    "F",
    "J"
  ],
  "target": "F",
  "key_only": true,
  "hint": false,
  "feedback": true,
  "feedback_audio": false,
  "instruction": " "
}

I also just tried running it in a new tab on Google Chrome, clearing browser cache and cookies, and creating a new response with the same code as a sort of "refresh" and it still doesn't work. I'm not sure why I'm still getting hints when I have "hint" set to false. Can you help? 
Thank you!

Hello,
We are trying to use the link-only option when posting the study on Mturk. The link just doesn't work. It only takes us to the intro page and won't go forward anymore. I wonder if there is any way I can make the URL link work (for testing or sent out to people for pilot runs). Thank you!

For my study, I am looking to use the arrow keys, among others. I was wondering if there is a full list of key names for the key map, so that we can correctly enter the options while building responses? The experiments use letters, which are called by their symbol in caps ("A", "N", etc.)
I tried, the following, which did not work since the description of the keys was inaccurate:

Dear Researchers,

The FindingFive Study Grammar is updated on Monday, September 13, 2021 to include the following new features, bugfixes, and other changes. 

New Features

• FindingFive studies will now run on Android mobile browsers! Yep - that's right: you can now design your study just once and it'll run on desktops, laptops, Android phones, and Android tablets! iPhone and iPad support will be introduced in early 2022 as well.
  
  Not only the studies themselves can run on small screens now, most participant-facing pages (including signin, study list, single study details page) are also optimized for mobile devices. As a result, if a participant gets a link to your study, they can complete the entire participation process on a mobile device.
  
  Researchers will still need to design studies on a desktop or laptop, but you'll be able to preview the study on mobile devices now as well.
  
  
• Improved pseudorandom stimulus pattern: It is now possible to assign multiple values to a custom stimulus attribute and perform
  pseudorandomization on the trial template(s) containing stimuli with this custom attribute.
  
  
• Hide the "Press X" hint in a choice response: It is now possible to hide such a hint, which is normally displayed below the buttons, by adding "hint": false to a choice response.
  
  
• Always show the "Response Received" confirmation at the end of a trial: It is now possible to always show this message, which by default only shows up when FindingFive is syncing participant data to the server. To manually turn this on, add "response_receipt": true to the corresponding trial templates. 
  

• In some cases, the keypress response did not accept key presses that are defined in a whitelist. This has now been fixed.
  

• No other notable changes in this update
  

Hello, 
Just wondering if there has been an update to be able to take away or not show the text labels for choice responses? I know that instruction: " " takes away the actual instructions but it leaves the button labels even when the buttons are not available (i.e. if key_press is specified). This is a super minor issue and I have asked about it before haha just seeing if anyone has a solution since its inconvenient for certain task designs.

Hi Everyone,
Recently started a study on FindingFive. I wanted to recruit twenty participants. For that reason, I linked my FindingFive study to Prolifics. Now, Prolifics reports to me that 20 participants finished the study. On the other hand, FindingFive reports me that only 19 participants completed the study. Moreover, FindingFive tells that there were 4 abandonments during the study whereas Prolifics reports that there as 5. Now, I cannot see the data to decide who is right as I need to end the session to see the data. However, if I end the session, and if there were only 19 participants as FindingFive tells me, then I need to rerun the session. Is there any way to see how much data has been collected without ending the session to decide which platform is right?

I am building an experiment with stimuli set with definitions that look like this:

Dear FF team,

I'm setting up a norming study for which i would like to have participants listen to an audio stimulus (e.g. a1, a2, a3...), then be presented with two text options on screen (a1_1 vs a1_2, a2_1 vs a2_2...) and use the keyboard only to select whether they choose the left option or the right option. I'd like to record that they chose a1_1 or a1_2 regardless of where on the screen they were presented. At first i had my audio and text options on different trials and tried using a choice type response with key_mapping "L" and "R" and a key_only response, but that gave me L and R buttons, as well as additional text instructions telling ppts to make a choice. Now i have the audio and the text options on the same trial, however i get a continue button and the fixation cross that's supposed to be in the middle is shifted left. I thought i could use "location" but that's only for responses, and my text options are stimuli - i don't want to make a different response for each audio stimulus. Ideally i'd like to have my fixation cross centered (location 5) and once the audio is done (this bit is fine, the text options appear after the audio) have the text options appear in locations 1 and 3.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Ting, 

I hope you're well! 

I have a question about providing participants with feedback on their responses, as well as with some demographic questions. 
I am using keypresses for responses to my stimuli, so participants will see the stimuli and have to press either the 'F' or 'J' keys. However, I'd like to add in feedback, so if they press the 'F' key when they should have pressed the 'J' key they will get feedback (maybe something like 'error' and a reminder of S-R keypress mappings). With choice responses, participants can get said response feedback, but the two keypress choices are displayed at the bottom of the screen. I'd like to avoid this if possible. Do you have any advice on how to give response feedback while still using keypress responses? 

I've also been working on adding in my demographic questions, but I've hit a bit of a roadblock. I've defined my stimuli and the associated responses, built the trials in "Trial Templates", and built the demographic trials into "Procedure", including the trial sequence. However, no matter the type of response defined, the "continue" button shows up. For example, I have a question asking about gender identity, and the response is a choice response as follows: 
{
  "type": "choice",
  "choices": [
    "female",
    "male",
    "non-binary",
    "prefer not to answer"
  ],
  "key_mapping": [
    "F",
    "J"
  ],
  "target": "YES"
}

The whole code is: 
"DemographicGender": {
  "type": "basic",
  "stimuli": ["DemographicGender"],
  "response": ["DemographicGenderResponse"]

When I run the study, instead of any of the available choices popping up, only the "continue" button is displayed. So, the question will ask "what is your gender identity" and instead of the choice responses, only "continue" will display. This is the same for text box responses. (And actually right now the choices that should be displayed in the example above are "YES", "NO" because I was testing this out with previous response code that has run fine in previous studies). 

Thank you so much!
