Testing the testers…. an ongoing issue with the volunteer program is every once in a while a tester gets the idea that the objective of testing is to click “It worked” to clear the list as fast as possible, and not waiting to actually hear if the right program is on the stream.. I don”t want to scare off testers, but I need to find a way to discourage non-testing testing as the listings become unreliable and I start getting complaints about wrong programs…
So I’ve created this:

It lists the last 20 (or more if you choose) tests, and makes it easy for you to double check another tester if you think they may be cutting corners…
Anyone else getting an occasional prompt for a show topic even after a topic has been set? No, not talking about the midnight split.
A few months ago, I reduced the interval to around an hour – typically each hour of a show is about a different topic… If the topic is less than am hour old, that’s probably a bug
There have been a couple of instances where a show topic was prompted 3-4 times within an hour. Usually when that happened, it would award points for setting the topic, but not for test. I’ll pay closer attention if it happens again in the future and maybe take a screenshot.
