Very much on topic and I wouldn't call it a small thing. I find that playing all the videos on Swagbucks causes the processor to heat up quickly in my laptop. If I'm going to continue on the site I need to find an effective way to keep the laptop cool before I damage the thing. By the sounds of it other people are having the same problem so I think keeping the processor cool is an important part of using Swagbucks.

Yes that is when it happens to me most too, sometimes it also half-crashes where the screen changes and goes back ok, annoying during a survey.

Been dq'd from 4PL surveys as I'm now getting the American based shops and products asked of me. Bond vid on Supersonic said it was an untrusted site, so left that one and Calpol not crediting. Must get a cuppa and toast and look at this menu again lol. Surveys please!

61/60 from SB checklist, vids, Crazy Taxi and 2x10SB searches on the Thai restaurant I'm going to and laptop cooling tables lol. Off to get that tea and toast and sit on the sofa with trash tv, may pop on later if there are any surveys that don't mind me being a childless non-American, non-smoker, who ocassionally wears make up, but doesn't drive or have pets. Hope everyone has a good day:)

I'm getting the American based questions too. It is always the ones with the green band across the top. When you fill in your d o b it comes up wish English USA as my language. Even if I change it to UK English the next screen is always US questions such as where I've shopped and if I'm going to vote in the Presidential election. I tried answering the questions and the next screen gives me the message that I'm not eligible for various reasons. There are a lot of flags on the message. I've ticketed all PL, TP and SP about it and all I have had back is a general acknowledgement and no constructive help.

This has only been for about 3 days and I took the computer back to the beginning of the month, cleared the history and cookies but it is still the same. It is also the same if I use the IPad. I can only conclude that the survey company now has me as American as it is only happening with these surveys.

I can't see what I can do to change it. SwagBucks itself has me as British as when I submit my score after a game my name has the union jack flag alongside it.

I love the site but if you get any problems they aren't very good at dealing with them.

Yes and some of them have caused my Flash player to crash.

Just wait hon, honestly read back I think mine was about 2 weeks maybe 3 this time when it did it then one day was just back. I have NO idea why it does it but it thinks we are USA and even if you change it to UK u are stuffed because it then thinks you are trying to take uk questions and are USA based and DQ u with the list with the flags on.

Email SB if you want see if u get any further than me, they just kept blaming my computers but I tried ipads and 2 windows lappy's and a hotel wi-fi tethering off mobile and a dongle. It was my account. My gift hulk and superpoints were working ok. it's so odd :-/ sending hugs it's so frustraiting but just meaning to say mine does right it'self in the end so do not give in. xx

I had that too. No idea what caused it but it's back to normal now, I just skipped over those surveys but decided to try one yesterday and it worked. So no constructive advice apart from maybe leave it a week or so and try a survey again.

Just got on swagbucks and i seem to have been "paid" 300sb for a trusted survey (5093488_180238). It was credited yesterday (12th) but has shown up on my daily goal meter as paid on 11th. The only TS i did for 300sb was for that pesky phone app, but i don't keep note of the survey numbers so i have no idea if this is it, but i assume it must be. Anyway not complaining! hope everyone else who might've got stiffed on that particular survey is suitably rewarded!

Yup I got the same credit yesterday, has to be the phone app as it was the only thing for that many bucks I had outstanding.

Seriously struggling today, just about to hit the target thanks to SBTV and the special offer vids but been DQ'd from every survey I've tried and have run out of ones to attempt now, so think it's time to log off and go sort out the rest of my washing.

Thanks Scubaangel, better late than never eh?
Have you tried the home hunters facebook app on Sponsorpay for 43sb? I did it a couple of days ago for 42sb, but it's shown up again, and thankfully i have access to my OHs facebook page, easy swagbucks

DS on a film due for release, bit of a boring survey and an odd question in the middle. Really shouldn't do survey's when tired and grumpy and need to get ready to go out! 143/70. Bye!
