    I had multiple script errors on some of the vids today, freezing the browser.
  • I give up, it doesn't seem to make a difference if AdBlocker is enabled or not, the video just hangs. I have tried in IE, FF and Chrome, I have even tried changing the agent settings as previously suggested but that didn't work either.


    Maybe with advents coming up, it is a bit of a blessing! However, I do appreciate al those who are more tech savvy than me and are suggesting solutions to the problem, you are angels in my eyes <3

    Like I said above, I emailed all the daily mag sites yesterday but have heard nothing back. I will let you know if I receive a reply. Maybe if a few people email them or even tweet/post on their facebook pages, we might get them do act quicker?

    Worked out how to disable Adblocker!! However it doesn't make too much difference as it just makes the videos work which take ages. Be here hours on end so giving up till things settle down! It happened before if I remember. Bit annoying though I usually go through them like a house on fire!!

    It feels like you've won the lottery when you get a few that go through without having to endure the video for what feels like an eternity :mad:

    It seems you get a slightly easier run of it during the day.Managed to get about half of them through earlier but its agony now

  • I sent a FB msg to Now mag and innocently asked if they had changed anything. They responded really quick and said they were sorry to hear that I was having issues and would look in to it and let me know :-)

    Having read about everyone else's experiences I was prepared.

    Had to temporarily disable ad blocker and the video loaded- a few were slow- and they completed okay.

    Good Housekeeping did give me problems even with ad blocker off. Two would not load the videos even when refreshed and the question done again.

    So I opened another tab, closed the GH ones, and then went back to them in the new tab (still with ad blocker off) and both went through without a problem.

    But it was annoying having to keep disabling it. :(

    Wth Adblocker disabled, 95% of my mag dailies went through without the videos playing - just went straight to submitted :) The 5% that didn't played the videos "IN FULL" (as Martin Lewis would say) cute-blue-bird-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif .... but at least they went through eventually!

    I disabled Adblocker from the Tools Add-ons menu and now all are working. looks like they are trying to find ways of beating the Adblocker. :(
