Hope you’re having a happy holiday period and taking some good time to relax.
Just letting you know that Pavlovia will be closed for maintenance for the day on Sunday 3rd Jan. You should not direct participants to the site on that day, nor try to change your studies. We will keep the maintenance as brief as we can and I’ll post an update here when the site is live again.
Have a lovely break, or as good a break as you can, given the current pandemic issues! Hopefully you’ll be able recharge your batteries and come back in the New Year ready to create all manner of new and exciting studies!
We are making good progress on the server maintenance. Most of the work is done and we’re busy testing. Please continue not to collect any data just yet.
We’ll let you know when our tests are complete and the site is ready for use
