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.
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.
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!
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.
I'm a WoW playing, Doctor Who watching, Harry Potter reading, fan fiction writing simmer who is without a doubt a geek (and sometimes a super hero).

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

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

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

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.
