Three Generations Video - no video but PC Speed test???
« on: July 19, 2013, 07:26:36 am »
Did this happen to anybody else? I clicked on the link to watch the Three Generations video (looked like three gals in wedding gowns) but instead of a video coming up, it looked like an ad for a PC Speed Test and asked me to click on Fix It Now or No Thanks and I am NOT doing either of those!  Could've been malware or something from past experience with stuff like that.

I got something similar to that when I tried to click the video for a SECOND VIEWING.  The first time around it played just fine.  The second time I tried to view the video, it came up with some funky game website within the video viewer.  If I remember correctly, I did click on it and all it did was take me to the website for those games.  I did NOT get any credit for it.

It very well could be malware as I have been clicking on it for several days and it just brings up the pop up window with nothing else happening, just a blank white pop up box and not even a message from my anti virus program that I would normally get, so I have just given up on this one. Too bad we don't have a better feeling about the issue with this. I too don't like to toss the dice just for a penny and end up with much more time consuming problems to resolve. Makes me wonder how the videos are tested before they are posted, if they aren't going to work, why bother to post them and cause everyone to become frustrated, plus I would have to think that Admin gets way too many support tickets regarding the issue. Perhaps there is a need for a sub group to pre test these videos, I am sure we could get volunteers for a small fee, say 1/2 penny for each one tested before it hits the offers page?

I never get a video on Three Generations. Everytime I open this I always get a different pop up. Im not even going to bother with it anymore because last time I opened it it froze my computer up.

I have clicked on the Three Generations video several times. I always get something else, usually an ad. I wonder if anyone has actually seen the video.   :dontknow:

I did watch the Three Generations Video this morning once and got credit for it.  When it remained in the queue, I tried it a couple more times but just got a blank screen.

I haven't had trouble with that particular video, but I have had trouble with others in the past. Usually I just get a white screen and no video pops up.

This happened to me as well when I tried to watch The Generations Video earlier. Then, when I tried to watch it again, it just popped up as plain white without the advertisement. So, I just decided to let it stay open for about 5 minutes and I received credit.

Today when I clicked on it, I did get the video viewer screen with the little arrow to click to make it start.  After that, a new window opened up with a thing saying to download their viewer which I will NOT do, and then I closed out and am giving up on this one.

It has happened to me before. All I got was a black bar on the white screen. I waited several minutes and I still got credited.
