Did anybody else find this in their Swagbucks Inbox today, or should I be worried?

I did not get one, but I also haven't been using a refresher/automator.

Not sure what to tell you. I just checked it and downloaded it again to verify it's working. Are you behind a corporate/school filter of some sort?

Is it not downloading, or is it not installing properly?

Thanks for the info. I think I have a list of things to check out the next time things go wrong. If I can't figure it out, I'll be back with more information.

Not sure. Once I get the FireFox version taken care of I'll come back and do some tweaking. I would try manually selecting another video, then disabling and re-enabling the automator.

I came here expecting Reddit to answer this rhetorical question. I was not disappointed.

After 2 minutes (maximum), it should load another video.

What I usually do is go to Swagbucks TV, then go the the News section, then select Reuters (that's just what I tested with because I used to watch those before automation; their videos are usually < 2 min). Once the page loads fully, right click, select SwagBucks Automator > Enable. To be absolutely certain, disable it and re-enable it. Occasionally it doesn't work the first time, but it takes the second. You'll have to wait up to two minutes to verify that it is working properly.

You need to install it in Chrome. It's a Chrome extension.

If it doesn't change after waiting, load a new video, wait for the page to finish loading, then disable and re-enable the add-on.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of it since I usually have my computer muted for the videos. I'm currently working on the FireFox port of it, but I might come back and revisit it with new features later on.

Depends on the current SwagBucks limits. Last month you could get 150 pts from videos per day. It has been reported that this has been dropped to 75, but I've gotten more than that earlier this week. If it is 75, it would take 6 days, just doing this. If it's 150, then it's 3 days.

However, I would highly suggest getting BlueStacks and the SBTB Mobile app. That's an extra 50 points a day. With that included, it would take either 3.6 or 2.25 days for a $5 AGC, depending on the 75/150 limit.

Developing FF add-ons appears much more complex than Chrome extensions. Working on it, though. Stay tuned...

Nope, that's an addition. When the page loads it appends the current % of your bar to the title. It doesn't update when your bar adds 10%, so it just remains at whatever it was when the page loaded. Saves you from switching to tab constantly to see if you are getting close to a captcha.

Thanks for the input. I moved it into my Dropbox account and shared that link.

You don't need to get to the extension on the extension bar. Just right-click on the page and it will appear in your right-click menu. It's called SwagBucks Automator.

Is there a better way to distribute it? I figured people probably wouldn't want to trust an extension from some random website or someone's dropbox folder.

That's a good question. I'm not familiar with the system itself, and not really sure how to tell what all is going on.

controversy187 · 9 days

Awesome, thanks!

Ok, this might sound like a stupid questions, but how do I verify that Postfix is fine? Anything outside of what you listed above?

I took a look at the mailq command and the mail.log file to see what they look like in normal operation. In the mailq, I didn't see a field that might describe a problem that is occurring, but then again, there isn't currently a problem occurring. We have so many mail accounts that tailing the mail.log is quite hard to follow, until I break out and can read the last few lines.

It's worth checking out. Thanks for the insight.

No worries. The strange thing is that this system has been in place for a couple of years. The issue just started cropping up in the past few months.

controversy187 · 9 days

That looks like some good reading. Thanks!

Thanks, that's good info. I'll take a deeper look the next time this happens!
