    Well last night I could only do one daily prize from a few sites before the malfunctioning video issue occured again.

    I use Chrome, so tried Firefox- no difference, so finally tried IE and apart from the odd one or two I was able to enter those I wanted.

    Did anyone else have problems yesterday evening with the videos?

    I did them yesterday afternoon and had no issues.

    Today, some of the videos were acting up, but after refreshing, they eventually went through.

    I hate IE, but yesterday I had to do the same as you and they all worked fine.

    An Avast update has been causing me all kinds of grief over the last few days since installing their update, after doing a system restore things are back to normal.

    Ah that may be what's done it- Avast. I was having an issue the evening before the Avast system update...

    Today I was able to do some on Chrome, others I could enter one with video okay, but not the rest, so moved to IE to complete them.
  • Never had a video on the Mag Dailies since last April - I get all tickboxes - Very strange!! - (I prefer the tickboxes anyway)

  • I use my ipad (prize :)) for the daily mags and don't get videos at all. Get about 4 sets of tick boxes for each mag and then nothing - it's great. Hate using the ipad for any other comps as autofill doesn't work as well, but great for the mags.

    I only had a few videos on Good Housekeeping.

    Yesterday almost every daily seemed to have a video and they were slow to start up (using Chrome) and I was just about to refresh the page when it finally started playing.

    Due to Google Chrome recent update The AdBlock Plus stopped working completely, and doing Mag dailies was a real pain.
    The best solution I have found is Opera search engine with AdBlock Plus which equals to no videos and no tickboxes. happy days:T
