Error message on Mechanical Turk

Is it just me or is someone else also getting this error message every now and then?

It usually happens when I click a “submit HIT” button after finishing with a HIT. I never realized that when it does happen, the HIT that I’m working on will be stored in the “HITs assigned to you” section… I missed 8 HITs just because of this! When I got the error message I thought it was something about the system and there was nothing I could do… apparently I was mistaken…

So now whenever I see an error message I go resubmit my HITs in the “HITs assigned to you” section, just to make sure no effort is wasted.
