    Sorry for the delay in replying, have been out all day.

    I am using Google Chrome on my PC. On the iPad (which is linked to my home wifi so exactly the same IP address) I was using Safari and seeing exactly the same as on the PC but then I installed the free trial of Puffin on my iPad and low and behold there were lots more videos both on the Homepage and on RadiumOne to watch, mostly for 1SB each. By the way, it's not that I was seeing things that I had already done on the PC - they were completely new/different things.

    No surveys for me today:(

    I've just installed puffin on the iPad never seen so many cards on the homepage. :) I use chrome on my laptop and usually only have 1 DS and 1 video if I'm lucky. There's at least 10 cards to click on.

    Looks like we may be getting the cards back on the home page linking us to PeanutLabs surveys. I just had one - the only trouble is there was no survey in sight when I clicked on the link

    Like you, I had a Paenut Labs survey invite on my home page but then nothing showing when I clicked on it. I then clicked on the free tab and back to the all tab and it appeared. Even managed to complet it and it credited! :)

    from the andorid/google play page (assume ipad is the same)
    ==== Limitations ====
    * The data centers of Puffin Web Browser are in the US and the cloud servers can only access public web sites from US geolocations.
    * For users outside the US, local content, especially videos of local interest, may not be accessible from the US due to geo-restrictions in your home country.
    so SB would think you are in the USA ? hence the more displayed on your home page ?

    Might have to try it on my andorid media player stick.

    Stuck on 44sb with no survey wanting me. Don't want to do an offer that won't credit:( This may be the day I don't reach goal!

    Doing it that way would put people off doing the high paying offers such a lovefilm (640sb) or GoDaddy (1070sb) (1710 for both) otherwise it could be weeks before their targets drop.

    Also it would put me off going over my target on good survey days (at the moment i take all the surveys i am offered) for fear of getting even higher targets so would result in lower earnings per month for both them and myself.

    I've asked Swagbucks UK if they would welcome comments and observations from new members who are directly involved in this 'trial' - I am still waiting for them to reply

    High paying wall offers surely have to be excluded from the target calculations if personal targets are to work at all, or at least a FAR more complicated calculation than what you managed yesterday.

    last 7 days average + last 14 day average + 3 month average .. divided by 3 ... where not long enough data available assume average = 80 .... or something like that although it probably needs to be more complicated.... but even that allows for some single HIGH paying offers

    I makes me wonder if the no target on 1st april was an april fools or is there was not enough data for personal targets to work and the system through a wobbler.... if april fools why last past 12 noon ..... why remove that section of the home page late evening uk time ??

    Back from a trip out for some junk food to find a 45sb TP offer has credited, not got a clue what it'll be but means am up to 110 for the day - there have been no DS, TS, or offer wall surveys for me all day so its all searches and sbtv!

    Tried my luck in IE instead of FF and had a Brain Juicer DS but IE crashed twice so on the third time I copied the link over to FF and completed it. Got this message
    Your answers have been received and this survey is now completed. We appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to share your thoughts and opinions with us. Your input today will directly impact future products and services that everyone will enjoy.Thanks again


    Luckily it credited, the survey asked about different things I buy, chocolate, cereal, coffee, before giving me a survey on cappuccino. Hope that info helps anyone getting this one. 124/90 and calling it a night I think as that one survey took forever to get!
  • R1 has an offer for an online game "Empire Universe III". Credited 20SB about 5 mins after registering and following a couple of the tutorial steps. (Says you just have to register - don't know if you actually have to start playing.)

    EDIT: snap !

    Got that offer on by RO wall slightly later than everyone else (wasn't there the other day when you posted) - credited after doing the same as you.

    eta: battlefield 4 video reappeared on peanut labs so got another 3sbs from that.
