From that screen you do not need to click on the "tv" button, use the sidebar on the left



and select "All" (or a specific category if you prefer) and that brings up the videos.

It was confusing me too!! Why do they have to change things and it more complicated?! :rotfl:

But the point is, it is always your choice whether you do these things or not. Nobody is forcing you

No, the point is that I want to hit my daily goal each day, but for various reasons already mentioned I often don't. Today is the first time I've hit a full month in a long time. The next few months I will make the choice not to even open Swagbucks.

Anyway, carry on picking on my choice of words if you want, I've got better things to do

Today's To Do List:-
Step 1 - 2 SB
Step 2 - 6SB

Incidentally, nCrave now counts as Daily Watch

Ok so I'm confused by this new watch thing also. It was fine yesterday with the old system working for me, but today I have the big banner ad thing with a countdown below the orange button, then nothing happens. When I click the categories in the sidebar I get an 'Oops...looks like that one got away' (from the old watch system?). I've enabled pop-ups but still no joy. Any ideas? Thanks.

You have a 'soft ban', you've managed to break one of their mostly invisible rules, such as watching videos for too many hours in a day or watching a playlist as the daily reset takes place at 8am. It's an automated system, videos will return at some point, perhaps after 12 noon today if it was a minor one off infringement, perhaps a few days or it could last quite a while. Nothing to do but check every so often.

I got banned from a new system I haven't even used yet? WTH?!

Yesterday I watched videos from the old system, not even all of them on the list (missed one of the travel and all the wedding category). In the past I have watched the whole set of videos many times and not been banned afaik.

It's automated. I've had short bans from losing my connection whilst watching a play list. Their advertisers are more important than we are, so I suppose they get to do that.

But I haven't used the new system, it just came up today for me so I don't understand how I could be banned from it!

It sounds like a glitch. Perhaps a faulty cookie or something that their system has interpreted as requiring a ban. When I've put in tickets in the past I get back reminders to obey the video watching rules, so presumably if looked at the system just shows that a rule breaking ban has been applied.

You can also get a soft ban from videos if you have an ad blocker enabled
