Anyone else having issues with Mag Dailies?

I seem to lurch from one problem to another with the mags every couple of weeks. I was happily using the mobile user agent extension and it skipped the videos, but when most mags moved to the new format it would play every single video, half a minute each, and if you moved off the page to another tab it would stop playing and not submit.
Then some kind soul on here suggested I change my Flash settings which I did, and for the past few weeks I have again been skipping the videos and going straight to submit.
But the past couple of days, on most sites the videos just won't even do anything at all, play or skip. The screen just says "loading the video" and then nothing happens.
Is anyone else having this problem? and does anyone have any suggestions what I can try next?! Thanks!

    I had awful probs yesterday so I checked Add-ons (IE11) & disabled Shockwave Flash Object. They were ok again after that. That is, they played the odd vid here & there but I was doing the clickies on Chrome while they played so I didn't mind

    The ones that sit there ages, do in fact eventually go to the submitted page, but you can go off and make a cuppa and come back and drink half of it before it's done! Also a lot of them won't work unless you allow unsafe scripts in chrome.

    Oh how stupid do I feel!!! Just twigged what the problem was... one of the kids had enabled Ad Block Plus and it is stopping the videos from "playing" (even though they don't play, they skip... it was interfering)
    Glad I've got that one sorted anyway!
