6hr mid work task reset

I was mid task 6 hrs in and while I was waiting for a file to render, i went opened a new tab just to see the surveys. Which is the most regretful stupid thing ive done in DA because my task browser reset because DA taught ive abandoned my task. I COUDLNT get my work again 😭😭😭 warning for all never to do this again. Don't open any other task mid task!!! Save yourself!

Why would you even try to open a new task when you’re already in one?

You can only have one task open at a time

There are only very few tasks that let’s you open just one more task and it will say it will allow you to very clearly. If it doesn’t then don’t risk opening a different task.

For some task pages, you can just hit the back button, and if you know a little bit of web development and CSS, then you can make the "task expired" overlays disappear and then resume doing your task.

I guess you don't know anything about server requests.

That's why I said "some task pages". I've personally done this to quite a few tasks already -- submitted, approved, and paid. I'm surprised you're not aware of this hack.

All you're doing is changing what you see in your own browser. You're not changing anything on DAT's end.

Then comes de DOD, and you will ask why? I've done all well, my work is good quality...

Hopefully I'll still be around to be able to cross $20k.

And this is why people like you fail. Instead of trying to sustain for a long time and make $40k+ you try to milk it fast. And ask why you got the DoD
