Looks like there is some sort of problem on the Studies page of the website today. My list of studies won't load and after a few seconds I get the popup: "DataTables warning: table id=all-experiments - Ajax error. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/7". Same result in all browsers I've tried.

Hi FF team,
I'm getting an error that my blocks are exceeding the number of trials allowed. The message says i have 329 trials when only 150 are allowed, but i'm not sure how this is calculated, because i thought i had only 36 trials per block...? I assume this has to do with the following piece of code, as 36 trials times 9 trial templates per trial is 324 (and then some additional cover and end trials i guess). The reason why i have so many "BS" templates is because when i was using durations of stimuli vs trials to get a blank screen this was messing with the trials proceeding properly and so adding a blank screen in between instead worked much better.

Hi FF team,

I'm trying to upload the stimulus definitions for my study with a csv batch upload, but i've been waiting for more than 20 minutes and it still hasn't uploaded. I tried using a different browser - same thing. I checked the crash course and couldn't find any limitations i should be respecting (like with the zip stimuli batch upload for example). Any idea what the problem might be?

Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone is well! I have a specific question about audio stimuli. Is there any way to add a speaker icon to the audio stimuli as in the picture while the audio stimulus is playing?
 The default audio stimulus has a speaker icon. Nevertheless, it gives a control panel for the participant. There, a participant pauses and runs the stimuli. We do not want these, participants to have control over the stimulus as every participant should be receiving the same audio stimulus. We cannot know if they have control over the stimulus such as pausing and running it again.
Is there a way only to have a speaker icon on the screen? I cannot find a way to code it in the grammar reference. Without the icon, participants are receiving a blank white screen. It seems litte surprising and confusing. It is not an important problem, but if there is a way to avoid it, we would really appreciate it.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
Best,
Dogukan

Hello, Our program uses 4 participant groups.  Previously when we ran the preview option we would be asked to select which group (A through D) we would like to select.  Currently, when running the preview option, a blank tab/screen appears.  One would have to click on the prior tab to see the group selection option.  This may be very minor but it could be helpful if the group selection window would be the active screen when the preview button is pressed so that one does not miss it. Thanks!

Hi,

I tried using the multi_select functionality in choice response type and also include the "other" option, with the possibility for participants to type in their own answer. When used separately, both functions work fine but they don't seem to work together. The follow_up_response thing no longer appears. Could you please help me on that?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

I have another issue regarding the carryover response functionality. I would like to use one carryover response as the next stimulus more than once because I want my participants to evaluate their response on more than one question. But I seem to run into errors when I do that. Could you please look into it?

Hi!
I'm designing a self-paced reading experiment (tokenized text, masked, forward_mask: true). For one word 'he' I would like to have the mask be 3 characters (xxx) instead of two, to make 'he' indistinguishable from 'she' when they are masked. Is there a way to do this while keeping the general shape of the words/sentence visible (so not masking all spaces)?
Thanks!

I was looking for guidance on what the syntax would be for utilizing the carryover response (collected in a naming trial) as the target response value in a testing trial. Each testing trial has 4 images and the "correct" target choice is the item corresponding to what they hear (audio stim) currently using the syntax from the documentation in the carryover response with involves the %s.
Thank you and let me know if you need more context.

Hi Everyone, 
We are trying to code a multiple choice question. But, we want code the question and responses like in the following image like spreadsheet. Is there any way to code it on FindingFive? If not, what could be an alternative.
   

Thank you very much for your time and consideration!
