  • I've found using Opera gives me less problems with Encrave than I find with other browsers. However, today, I keep getting problems staying connected, which is yet another pain to arrive along with Encrave.

    Thank goodness for surveys. At least this celebration I've met my targets and hopefully more to go yet. I've managed to get most of the swag codes too.

    I was doing Encrave when a great big message in red said I was looking at the pages too quickly and if I didn't stop I wouldn't have this opportunity any more. Now I have no control over their timer and I've only done Encrave about 3 times today and one of those (the one just before the message) left the page halfway through because of the spammy 'you haven't got java' thing. I seem to be serially unlucky this last week. :(

    I think it just does this sometimes, it's said it to me a few times. Doesn't seem to have any real logic. You obviously can't rush through the videos, and personally I've had the one encrave window open and was just letting it run, so..

    I think I cracked the Java thing, firstly do NOT use that link, it is virus/malwared, go here to make sure yours is up to date - http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp , then you need to make sure java is activated on your browser (firefox, tools, add on, plug ins, java set to always active) , plus use an ad blocker to stop that dating site pop up

    Thanks. My Java's up to date already. I keep it that way because I need it so for other things. I think the Java spam is pure spam and nothing to do with real Java. I've had Asian dating website spam from Encrave too. Funnily enough another automatic item from other sites I use, which is a radio station, has identical spam pages. I can't use an ad blocker because of the other work I do unfortunately. I only get spam from Encrave and the radio, no other site.

    I'm at 75 of a 150 target. I hope the birthday celebrations aren't going to all be like this! Btw Encrave is so boring. I've been watching SBTV mostly. I just wish they'd get more videos. In the US they have a lot and they can be on useful topics.
