magazine dailies video still not loading

Options
I have given these a rest for a while but just trying again and the videos are still not loading for me. I've tried disabling adblock & shockwave flash and that hasn't helped. Is this now just only me??? or are lots of us still having problems

    Even with an blocking apps like Ghostery disabled this is happening this morning. They're attempting ways of circumventing ad blocking software and I have been noticing them testing numerous methods to attempt breaking through.

    I have kept Ghostery ON and eventually it works.

    Note however that some brand new video player they are using seems to get through Ghostery, but stops playing when when you change tabs. Simple route around that is open another browser.

    Doing the dailies LAST in my comp entries workflow and I feel much less stressed by it.

    i'm using IE11 (on PC) & disable adblocker & shockwave
    when doing them,
    no vids, just the congrats you have entered & green tick
    each time,
    & also had quite a few wins with them past few weeks.
    ETA..
    if you disable adblock/shockwave remember you have to
    reboot for them to work,
    then when finished dailys,
    enable & reboot machine again.
    please be a responsible pet owner & spay/neuter your pets, too many strays & not enough homes for them sadly. k2u58ioz4c8e.png

    I use firefox and the only two mags that run the adds are Marie Claire and Look, all the others just go straight through. I sail through them.
    I do it just for fun and whatever I win is a bonus

    go to Tools,
    go to manage add-ons,
    disable both,
    restart your machine

    hi, did you restart your machine,
    once you've disabled them you need to switch off &
    restart & you shouldn't be getting any vids,
    I don't get any except an odd one or two on marieclaire.
    (i'm doing them on IE11 windows 8.1 on PC)
