    I just did a PopulusLive survey on the Lib Dems and I got this

    DQ'd because in the first screen they asked me to put my postcode with no space (ST51XD) and the last one they asked it with a space (ST5 1XD)....

    Can't express my anger. Lib Dems cocked it up again.....

    It worked fine for me. I don't even remember the postcode stipulations. Hope you put a ticket in and get your due though!

    I've noticed an adblocker tends to make vids run smoother (they play right away instead of having to press play, no interruptions for ads even though I put it on mute anyway). If that isn't the cause of your problem with the bot thing, I would recommend you try it anyway... it just makes it 10 times less annoying

    adblocker makes most of the things not work for me at all though. It is why I have a whole separate browser without it just for swagbucks.

    I disabled adblocker for the homepage as it stops me from seeing the NOSO and the lovely Jamie Cullum sell his soul for money... but for SBTV it's a god send. For example, if you mute the main SBTV the ads pop up with sound anyway - really annoying and startling, but with adblock it stays silent throughout.

    There is a problem with the Brain Juicer DS, boots you out if you say you saw successfully viewed the video?? It has been mentioned on the Facebook page - Swagbucka re looking into it.
    Yep I got that yesterday. Couldn't believe I got a survey & was chuffed. Saw the vid,ticked yes & got disqualified:mad:

    No ugg boots....no diet plan. SBTV & captchas again.
    If they limit the TV I'd have to drop out happi:(. I depend on it since it is more or less all I get offered.

    Got the Brain Juicer survey and clicked out of it straight away - no point in even trying to complete it looking at other comments. Then got a DS about guitars and amps - DQd. Finally got quite a long Populus survey on political parties which was quite interesting for once - credited OK using Chrome :)

    I have been DQ'd from two DSs today. One for being able to see the video, and one for knowing that an automobile is not an animal. No more available. No TS at all. DQ'd from every survey on the offer walls. Missed the code.

    :(

    milo - have you tried the Ampario survey on TrialPay for 85sb. There have been two surveys over the past couple of days. I'm not sure if they will still be available, but it's worth a try

    Thanks miwa,but I keep my lappy sound off anyway unless I need it & the ads count toward your watching anyway so I don't mind them that much. Sometimes I never even get to the vids because the ads are 50 seconds long.:D

    How strange we all have so much in common. I too am mostly confined to home & that is why I use SBs a lot. It is a tiny bit of independent earning for me...........hence my frustration at Swagbucks when I see people with more surveys & offers than they can handle while I get offered none then get accused of cheating on the manky little amount I manage to grab.
    Don't get me wrong,good luck to everyone & grab all you can while you can. Plus,again I say if you can get away with using some kind of bot/bots/whatever then more power to yer elbow . Frankly at this point (sorry Nick) if I knew !!!!!! it was or had the brains to figure it out I'd do it too. Just being honest here. After all weren't we promised an app for SBTV ? But never got one. The american users have one. So we are lesser mortals than our American cousins to Swagbucks . Crikey....listen to me,when I don't even HAVE a smart phone I could use it on.:rotfl: ..........but most other people have & I might get one some day.:p
