Anyone having trouble with getting simspoints from the ads? «1…6789101112...Next Go

Or the ads that re-routing to another page. Not sure if that is a glitch or what.

I encountered an video that is private, and I didn't get my Simpoints. And that was a while ago.

I waited it out and got the points. It didn't take very long...Maybe a minute or two. 5 at most.

I was gone all last week and was hoping the ads would be back this week, but it doesn't seem like it. I have yet to see one.

Ads have been working pretty well for me the last 3 days. Not as flawlessly as it did at the end of February. But good enough. I've been been able to get a few hundred point in a day without having to scour the whole store for the clicker. If it's not on the first page it's usually on the second or third.

I've gotten a few broken ads recently - the kind that *DON'T* payout if you wait. Has anyone gotten a "This video is private" message? That seems really strange.

I've gotten a few "private" ads. I still get the Simpoints if I wait, so don't bother me. I have also gotten one ad that hijacked my browser and redirected me to their website. Which is not something I hope to see again.

Wow, lots of ads today - at least for Canadians. They seem to be paying out today - 5 points per ad

I been having lots of ads all day, and can't quit either. @soocoolsim and plus I bought more simpoints today from a card.

They are working for me today as well. :)

I've got a lot that are blank and stay blank no matter how long I wait. I've had very few paying ads over the past few days.

The blank ones are black. It's as if the don't load properly.

I had some black screen ads. I clicked once in the middle and they started up. Usually they were the Domino's ads.

I've, also, had some black ads. After clicking once in the middle, it opens a new window with a full-page"Tampax" ad. I just close the new page; I'm back on the store page and the ad is running in the small box

LOL, I didn't get any pop-ups with mine. Maybe they were different kinds.

If you are seeing blank or black ads, try clicking once in the middle, or the Play button if you see one and the ads should start playing. Let me know if this works.

UPDATE: The team has disabled this function completely while they investigate. Sorry about this. Don't know when we will have a fix in place but we are working on it.

So, the ads came back, but now most of them are redirecting to another site, and thus giving no points. This is with browser setting set to block redirects, too. There is even a thread on the specific issue here - forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/820453/simpoint-ads-redirecting-to-another-site#latest. I have listed details on what I have seen of this.

Besides that issue, some of the other ads don't play at all. You get a blue box, and it never loads, never completes, and never gives points. The only ones I have seen with no issues are some for apartments.com and some for a medical center. The UVidi are the worst, redirecting, and I have no idea which ones never load. Hopefully, this can be fixed soon, so we can get good ads. Five Star ads were awesome - no issues, and readily available!

It seems that when I sign out of the Sims 3 store, the ads are available. When I sign back in, they are nowhere to be seen. This is very weird.

Edit: Do the ads disappear when I sign on because of some invisible counter? Is there a limit or something? Very, very odd.

The redirect ads don't give any points and those are the ones I keep getting.

Nevills

I can only get ads on my computer at work and never on my computers at home. I can't figure out why. I don't have any ad blockers, so I'm a bit confused.

If you are talking about an 8x8 inch blue box ad in which a white box pops up, try closing just the white box and wait about 60 sec.
