Is 'change cell' supposed to do anything?

I’m wondering what the ‘change cell’ button is supposed to do on the front page?  I click it and it shows me a new cell, but I don’t seem to get through to it when I click on Play.  I got a message saying there wasn’t anything new for me to mark a few days ago (I’ve finished all that was available) and I thought perhaps that is when the new cell comes into play. Doesn’t make a difference which one I choose however - I still have no new images to work on.  Is that the expected behaviour?  Is ‘change cell’ just a visual overview and nothing to do with the play experience?

Hey Smalljude

Sorry for taking so long to reply to your issues. The cell change on the front page at the moment does not affect what cubes you are given when you play (this is set to change sometime in the future).

The reason you keep getting stuck is mostly because of the requirement that “5 people must do a cube to establish consensus” – this is making things grow somewhat slowly. At the moment I’m working on some stuff to allow power users to have a larger contribution, making it so we might need fewer people to “establish consensus” and spawn more cubes. Sorry things aren’t moving faster!

Thanks so much for your detailed reply :slight_smile:  Sorry for being impatient - I’ll just keep checking each day and see if there is anything new.  Good luck and great work! This is by far my favourite citizen science project.

Nah it’s not impatience, I wasn’t being prompt about letting you know what’s up. We’re glad to have you on board, and I definitely want to make it so our adept users can make progress on cells more quickly.

Sweet as (as Kiwis say)!  I’m ready whenever you have something. :slight_smile:
