No you click discovery near top left, then ctrl+tab out of the tab so it runs by itself. Should take around 10 minutes for the entire list.

thanks for that should of remembered that from last time doh

What can you guys see on encrave?

My office just changed routers yesterday and I see News, discovery, random, health tips, entertainment, decorating and another entertainment.

Is everyone seeing all of these too?

yes,same for now. random keeps popping up again several times during the day lately

one of the entertainment tabs took over an hour with the same slide, just watching the ticks move down the list....none of the others move down by themselves here, i do have to click one of the buttons each time. maybe different browsers?

I'm going to run it again now (Entertainment with May Jane photography for 1 minute slide each and it's about 20 of the same), leaving the tab open. Washing up should be done by the end...at least this one runs by itself

No it's because they have some sort of way to figure out whether that page is active in your browser. If you don't tab out using stuff like ctrl+tab in firefox or chrome for example, it won't register you as watching that video and then it will run off on some other videos and not tick anything else.

That's why it's good to check on the page now and again to see it is running the correct video i.e. the video on the right should have the same name as the video that should get ticked on the left. If it isn't, then you need to click on the video on the left to make sure it runs the correct one, then tab out again.

PS: Just read your post again: if you do have the page active and open it shouldn't be a problem (no fussing around with tabbing out)

You know what really ticks me off - when a survey is so long that by the time you get to the end it doesn't credit because, I assume, it expired. This happens every now and again with Peanut Labs ones, which are often worth disgustingly low SB. I just had one that took about 45-50 minutes and I *knew* it wasn't going to credit because of that. You bet that they saved your answers though, the crafty so-and-so's!

I just had a good experience with PL surveys. It told me I wouldn't qualify half way through and credited all of it! That's a first :cool:

When this happens I always raise a support request (giving as much info as possible - url of end page, what the survey was about, no. of SBs etc) as they generally pay out (as it tends to be a technical issue rather than a 'real' disqualificaion).

Of course they are promoting that Cherios are now gluten free (previously they could have had traces of wheat etc).
