mag dailies videos

I've noticed that each day there's an improvement.

Ad-blocker is still off but more go through without playing the video, though at least three will require you to wait for the video to load and play right the way through before completing.

The video also stops if you open another tab and temporary leave the page, and won't carry on until you're back on the page. While others will play through while you're away, so I click back and they've completed.

The main gripe is the other adverts that pop-up if you move the mouse by them, and they block what you're doing.

I think it is either Marie Claire or InStyle who shoves a massive blooming ad in your face when you login!

Okay I've just done the mag dallies and made a note of the ad ones.

I'm using Chrome on the PC with ad-blocker off (except on Woman's Weekly that works with it on).

Look - one video, Dove, had to watch or it restarts if you go away.

Instyle- both tabs was the Dove video, and again had to watch both.

Woman's Own- one video, Dettol, again stopped if you went away, so have to watch.

Country Living- completed but went to the page with the you have already entered message.

Caught the big Clarins ad three times...

whos dumped these now? Tired everything suggested and still not loading or on different browser you get all the blinkings ads that go on forever!
These are hard enough to win on with sharing the prizes all over sister sites let alone having to watch all the videos. Think I might give up on these as too much effort and very slim chance winning

Yes I think I've given up with these. The videos just say loading with ad block off and on!!!




Did anybody get an answer from the magazines???

I contacted all and got one email back from Woman - I was told they had removed the 'video' that wasn't loading! Don't think they realised it was all their videos that were causing problems for many.

Hopefully when they realise they aren't getting as many entries into their comps they might take another look!

I can only suggest you all check you are running the latest versions of your browsers, I'm on Firefox 42.0 for windows x64

Which can be downloaded here, in either x86 or x64, http://www.softexia.com/internet-tools/browsing/firefox-42/

They've been horrible for me over the weekend. Most of them playing vids that have to be open and on view to play, one at a time. But half way through today I switched to my tablet and they all went through with no vids playing - other than Woman magazine, which didn't show a log in box for me.
