remove "continue" button from slider plugin

[n400peanuts]

Hello,

Thank to the excellent support in my last post, the my image-slider-response task is working beautifully! thanks again!
My issue now is about the continue button: participants simply don't understand that after moving the slider they need to hit the "continue" button in order to record the response, even though there are instructions and practice trials.

I see that this issue has been raised in the past as well in the google group but left without answer, so probably is a common problem. How can I record the response of the participant without hitting the continue button?
Is it possible to simply record the last movement of the slider right before a timeout?

Does the response_ends_trial parameter help?

Hi, no. Even though the response_ends_trial is true the trial doens't end and doesn't record anything until the continue button is pressed. Do you have any suggestions?
